In terms of microgrid design, this means that the microgrid does not have to be built to serve power 24/7, but instead can be built to provide power during times the main electric grid experiences an outage

Standalone micro-grid reduces the load on grid. In this way, we can reduce energy generation by conventional ways which will eventually decrease carbon emission to the environment.

When the main electric grid loses power, the microgrid goes into island mode (i.e., operates independently of the main electric grid) and serves its own customers with the generation and other
