This article analyzes the development and direction of microgrids from inception to their current state. . A grid-connected microgrid normally operates connected to and synchronous with the traditional wide area synchronous grid (macrogrid), but is able to disconnect from the interconnected grid and to function autonomously in "island mode" as technical or economic conditions dictate. They have the potential to decrease the cost of resolving traditional electrical system loading issues, contribute. . This report provides an overview of the microgrid industry in North America, synthesizing information from current literature, available standards, and industry experts.
