The northeastern United States in summer 2003,
. . . a high-voltage power line in Ohio,
. . . brushed against overgrown trees,
. . . causing it to shut down, and t
. . . ouching off a domino effect of disabled lines.
. . .
For the next
. . . . . . 2 days,
. . . . . . 50 million people, in
. . . . . . 8 states,
. . . were left without power.
Microgrids are free-standing power sources,
. . . that integrate disparate energy-generating sources,
. . . store the energy, and
. . . then distribute it uninterrupted to a limited surrounding area,
. . . during power outages.
