This handbook serves as a guide to evaluate the feasibility of microgrid systems. It also provides information on microgrids for urban and industrial applications, considering current technological pathways and power system structures.

Microgrids are poised to play a big role in the electricity ecosystem of the futurewith decarbonization, digitalization, decentralization, and non-wires solutions being key attributes. The handbook will assist those working in the energy sector to evaluate a microgrid systems potential to enhance power supply quality and connectivity. It will also contribute to a better understanding about on-grid microgrids in urban and industrial settings, prevailing business models, and emerging trends that could shape the future of this sector.

A microgrid is a localized group of interconnected loads 1 and distributed energy resources (DERs) within clearly defined electrical boundaries (e.g., cities, communities, campuses that act as a single controllable entity with respect to the main regional or national electric grid [macrogrid]). A microgrid can connect or disconnect from the main grid as physical and/or economic conditions dictate. It can operate on both grid-connected mode (synchronous with the grid), or on island mode (functioning autonomously and disconnected from the main electric grid).
