Microgrids form a part of the Distributed Energy Resources (DER) systems, which is basically a decentralized or district oriented energy. Energy is generated and stored through a range of devices connected by the DER. The microgrid is concerned with localized grouping of power production, storage and distribution. The loads are usually connected to a typical centralized grid, or a macrogrid. The microgrid's point of common coupling can be disconnected to allow it to function autonomously. This means that a microgrid can be controlled remotely as though it were an individual unit while still being part of a larger grid.
