MGs can operate in two modes: grid-connected and islanded. In grid-connected mode, the MG can exchange power with the upstream grid, depending on the electricity generated and its load demand . The MG can be disconnected from the utility grid due to faults or in planned maintenance and operate autonomously . Unlike grid-connected mode, an
Rebuilding for Resilience – Japan''s First ''EcoTown''
