What is Electric Grid

Chapter 10
Handbook of Research on Smart Power System Operation and Control
An electrical grid is an interconnected network for delivering electricity from producers to consumers. It consists of generating stations that produce electrical power high voltage transmission lines that carry power from distant sources to demand centers distribution lines that connect individual customers.

Abstract
Microgrid (MG) is the vital technology that can be utilized to supply electricity to rural areas by fulfilling various aspects of electricity such as sustainability and reliability. Further, MG technology can also be used as localized generation sources and back up supply source. As MG can be worked in interconnected mode, various issues related to interconnection with utility grid are raised. Several issues such as technical, regulatory, and operational are associated with grid integration. Therefore, this chapter deals with the issues that are associated with the grid integration of microgrid.
