Microgrid limitations include high upfront costs, technical complexity in design and operation, challenges in coordinating with the main power grid, and navigating diverse regulations. Additionally, they reduce the load on the utility grid. However, given that they depend on unplanned environmental factors, these systems have an unstable generation. . There is an emerging focus on microgrids as a means to achieve more electric efficiency and less dependence on conventional power grids. These small-scale systems provide an alternative way to create and distribute power (generate as well as distribute locally enabling better control and. . Different threats to the power grid, including cyber attacks, physical attacks and natural disasters, can limit its ability to provide reliable power to consumers and critical industries. The upfront cost of building and installing a microgrid can be significant — cost may vary based on size, location, and amount of energy needed.
