        <title>Microgrids: What are they and how do they work?</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2025/06/1_3ackd3dr.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ On this episode of Engineering Explained: What are microgrids? How are they different from the regular utility grid? What is the future of grid technology? Ali Mehrizi-Sani, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech, shares, along with some history about the utility grid, his expertise on independent energy systems. From hospitals to military bases, these small grids can play a big role in making existing energy systems more reliable. Using sustainable power solutions such as wind and solar, microgrids can go into island mode, making them independent from the utility grid, if needed. Microgrids are often mistaken as a simple form of the larger utility grid, but Mehrizi-Sani explains that they are just as complex. Curious about power and energy systems?
