In electric power, microgrid: small-scale power generation facilities which operate locally and are connected to the distribution system of the microgrid or end-user that could be aggregated to provide electric power necessary to meet demand, including, but not limited to, mini-wind turbines connected to a microgrid, energy storage, and solar photovoltaic rooftop of an end-user [Section 4(c), Microgrid Systems Act of 2022; Section 4.4, DOE Department Circular No. DC2022-05-0017, Rules and Regulations to Implement Republic Act No. 11646 (Microgrid Systems Act)]
Note: Under the IRR, the term is written as “Decentralized Power Generation (DPG)”.
In electric power, energy storage: small-scale power generation facilities which operate locally and are connected to the Distribution System of the Microgrid end-user that could be aggregated to provide electric power necessary to meet demand, including, but not limited to, mini-wind turbines connected to a microgrid, energy storage, and solar photovoltaic rooftop of an end-user [Section 2.3, DOE Department Circular No. DC2023-04-0008, Prescribing the Policy for Energy Storage System in the Electric Power Industry]
Note: Under DOE Department Circular No. DC2023-04-0008, the term is written as “Decentralized Power Generation”.
