Microgrid Technology Is Transforming the Energy Grid

Since wind and solar power output vary with weather and time of day, it''s useful to be able to draw power when they''re available but also have other options when they''re not. These dual functions—backup and stability—help microgrids balance the need to provide reliable energy with the need to reduce carbon emissions.

Not Just Solar, But Also Wind-Powered Microgrids

Wind power can add value to microgrids in locations where there isn''t much room for solar. That includes telecom operations, cell towers and data centers, said Zach Bradford, CEO of microgrid company CleanSpark.
