Microgrid Technology: What Is It and How It Works?
Generally, a microgrid is a set of distributed energy systems (DES) operating dependently or independently of a larger utility grid, providing flexible local power to improve reliability while leveraging renewable energy.
Power grids will become "smart" | Ukranian Energy
A smart grid cannot be imagined without intellectual electricity metering systems, which allow to remotely take, from selected centers, readings off modern metering devices. It creates conditions to improve billing of consumers for electricity, eliminate electricity theft, and control the quality of power supply.
