Microgrids are relatively small, controllable power systems composed of one or more generation units connected to nearby users that can be operated with, or independently from, the local bulk (i. high-voltage) transmission system, sometimes referred to as the “macrogrid. ”. Authorized by Section 40101(d) of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the Grid Resilience State and Tribal Formula Grants program is designed to strengthen and modernize America's power grid against wildfires, extreme weather, and other natural disasters that are exacerbated by the climate. . A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and off-grid modes. [2][3] Microgrids may be linked as a cluster or operated as stand-alone or isolated microgrid which only operates. . Interest in microgrids is growing because of their ability to incorporate renewable energy sources and sustain electricity service during natural disasters.
