A microgrid can operate when connected to a utility grid (grid-connected mode) or independently of the utility grid (standalone or islanded mode). In islanded mode, the system load is served only from the microgrid generation units. In this mode, the microgrid control regulates voltage and frequency of generation units using grid-forming control.
