A healthcare microgrid is a small, independent energy system designed for hospitals. It combines power sources like solar panels, batteries, wind turbines, generators, and other energy sources to provide reliable electricity. Microgrids can operate independently of the main power grid, ensuring critical systems like life support continue running during outages. They enhance energy resilience and reduce reliance on external power sources. Microgrids are permitted by NFPA and CMS to satisfy hospital backup power requirements.
