Europa Lag: Why Microgrid Adoption is Slower Across the Pond

Many globally minded grid experts say that Europe is way ahead of the U.S. when it comes to smart grid technologies improving efficiencies and responsiveness on the bigger system. Ironically, though, intransigence at the utility and regulatory level could be making European microgrid adoption more sluggish.

Microgrids: Impact on the Development of Sustainable

The concept of microgrid is evolving by leaps and bounds and assumes various forms depending on location and local requirements (Wouters 2015, 23).At the same time, the definition of microgrid is not based on a minimum or maximum size of a microgrid system but rather on function (Soshinskaya et al. 2014, 661). A generic definition treats microgrid as a
