Add battery storage to the Coatesville SOLAR Initiative and you have a microgrid- About Microgrid Economics

Reliable macro grids? This guy is obviously not from Chester County. He states that:
Today, we have working, historically reliable macrogrids in most parts of the world. The system isn’t broken. Does it need to be “fixed” using microgrids?


I have not heard of any plans to add battery storage or wind to the Coatesville SOLAR Initiative but if that was added to the system it would become a microgrid. 

This article concerns microgrids:

“A microgrid typically has multiple generation sources and a battery. Some people call such systems “hybrid,” but that states the obvious, physical truth. They ought instead be described as integratedsystems, since their working combination should be more than additive, and follow a well-articulated logic toward solving an objective function, for instance, production at the lowest cost; with the lowest emissions; continuous operation with quality electricity; or predictable demand with low peaks.”
