A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid. People, Power, and the Sun: Honnold Foundation x Adjuntas, Puerto Rico Although most microgrids today operate independently, one way to get the maximum benefit from them is to connect them, letting them share resources wherever and whenever possible.

The proportion of grid electricity generated by renewables such as wind and solar energy fluctuates depending on how hard the wind is blowing or how strong the sun is shining. This can lead to a huge variation in the grid power available, which can be a problem for power companies. How EVs can help balance the grid.

Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables.

Once weve consolidated everything to depend on the grid, we can clean up everything by cleaning up the grid. Once electric cars are more common, demand for electricity will rise, and electricity producers will have to look at big generators such as dams, nuclear stations or decentralised wind turbines that feed in to the grid.
