Growing demand for reliable energy, aging utility infrastructures, rising energy costs, and energy resource shortages are a few reasons microgrids are soaring in popularity now.
Microgrids are small electricity networks that can connect to the larger grid or disconnect and operate independently with their power source.
The US Military has long believed that microgrids are an effective way to secure and stabilize the operation of critical facilities – reducing their vulnerability to grid outages, cyber-attacks, and even physical infrastructure attacks.

For instance, in California, where utility companies often must enforce rolling blackouts (or brownouts) during peak energy usage, microgrids can allow communities to keep their power on.
Also, remote communities left without power for extended periods following natural…
