The need for affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy is now more important than ever because of the climate crisis. Climate change will push up to 130 million people into poverty over the next 10 years and continue to cause more unpredictable natural disasters, such as cyclones, flooding, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Power outages do not occur only in remote rural areas but also in developed countries, lasting for several hours and even a couple of days, due to the extreme weather in recent years. Microgrids, as a flexible architecture capable of integrating local distributed energy resources (DERs), can satisfy wide-ranging demands via their variable solutions, from off-grid to on-grid applications.
