In terms of microgrid design, this means that the microgrid does not have to be built to serve power 24/7, but instead can be built to provide power during times the main electric grid experiences an outage

The United States Department of Energy Microgrid Exchange Group defines a microgrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode."
