Distributed generation may serve a single structure, such as a home or business, or it may be part of a microgrid (a smaller grid that is also tied into the larger electricity delivery system), such as at a
Microgrids
Since the energy (power and heat) are created close to where they are used, microgrids are a form of distributed generation. Historically, microgrids generated power using fossil fuel-fired
