A microgrid is a local with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. It is able to operate in grid-connected and in . A 'stand-alone microgrid' or 'isolated microgrid' only operates and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. Very small microgrids are called nanogrids. A grid-connected microgrid normally operates connected to and synchronous with the traditional [pdf]
Micro-grid is becoming an important aspect of future smart grid, which features control flexibility, improved reliability and better power quality. This paper conducts an overview of research and development of micro-grids in China. There are abundant renewable resources in China, which can benefit the development and application of micro-grids.
According to Pike Research, the first “modern industrial microgrid in the United States was a 64 MW facility constructed in 1955 at the Whitling Refinery in Indiana,” but most people are not aware the concept is much older. The microgrid concept dates back to the beginning of our industry.
Research on microgrid technologies started relatively late in China. Compared with the huge research teams composed of research institutions, manufacturers and power companies in developed countries and regions such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, there is still a big gap in research strength and research results in China.
The main characteristics of microgrids are the integration of small-scale generation sources (renewable or non-renewable), the power generation close to the loads, and the possibility to operate grid-connected or in stand-alone (islanded) mode. Based on these characteristics, microgrids development is very promising, resulting in some advantages.
A microgrid is a mini-version of the electric grid, which fits the “micro” notion, but the origins of the word have been lost in history.
From 2009 to 2016, research on DC microgrids in China has gradually involved many different aspects, such as the study of DC microgrid power electronic converters, DC circuit breakers, and other key equipment, as well as operation control technology, protection, and energy management. 1.2 China’s Current and Planned Policies Regarding MG

The Cocos (Keeling) Islands consist of two flat, low-lying coral atolls with an area of 14.2 square kilometres (5.5 sq mi), 26 kilometres (16 mi) of coastline, a highest elevation of 5 metres (16 ft) and thickly covered with coconut palms and other vegetation. The climate is pleasant, moderated by the southeast for about nine months of the year and with moderate rainfall. . 科科斯(基林)群岛(英語:Cocos (Keeling) Islands)是位於的 ,位於澳大利亞本土與之間的南緯12°0′00″ 東經96°30′00″。群島面积達14.2;人口有628人(至2005年7月),由27座島組成。仅家岛(Home Island)和(West Island)有人居住。科科斯(基林)群岛的位于西岛。 [pdf]
The territory's dual name (official since the islands' incorporation into Australia in 1955) reflects that the islands have historically been known as either the Cocos Islands or the Keeling Islands. The territory consists of two atolls made up of 27 coral islands, of which only two – West Island and Home Island – are inhabited.
Under the Local Government Act 1969 (WA) (CKI) Council changed title to Cocos (Keeling) Islands Shire Council and became responsible for the whole Territory and was given same powers, responsibilities and obligations as a Western Australian shire council.
The capital of the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands is West Island while the largest settlement is the village of Bantam, on Home Island. Governance of the islands is based on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Act 1955 and depends heavily on the laws of Australia.

The Cocos (Keeling) Islands have access to a range of modern communication services. Digital television stations are broadcast from Western Australia via satellite. A local radio station, 6CKI – Voice of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, is staffed by community volunteers and provides some local content.
Sign boards on the island also feature Malay translations.
