Natural gas micro grids are localized energy systems designed to generate, manage, and distribute power using natural gas as their primary fuel source. Unlike traditional centralized power plants, these micro grids are self-contained networks that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main grid.
At the heart of a natural gas micro grid is a natural gas-fired generator or combined heat and power (CHP) system. These units efficiently convert natural gas into electricity and often useful thermal energy simultaneously.
