2. Off-the-grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-grid

   Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle [1] designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid , but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from ...

   Tiny homes, yurts or many cabins are often designed to be conducive to living off the grid. 3. Power Supply, Storage and Generation. Living off the grid doesn’t necessarily mean living without ...

4. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

   Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy.For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery (transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method.

5. Home energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Energy_Storage

   As the number of people of grid increases, the cost of the grid will be spread across fewer consumers making, "the incentive to go off-grid only grow". [12] This is seen as an increasingly large disadvantage to home energy storage, as it could lead to the abandoning of a large infrastructure network created to maintain grids, price inflation ...

6. Texas Interconnection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Interconnection

   The Texas Interconnection is an alternating current (AC) power grid – a wide area synchronous grid – that covers most of the state of Texas. The grid is managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The Texas Interconnection is one of the three minor grids in the North American power transmission grid.

7. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   A stand-alone power system (SAPS or SPS), also known as remote area power supply (RAPS), is an off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. Typical SAPS include one or more methods of electricity generation, energy storage, and regulation.

8. Microgrid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgrid

   The Berkeley Lab defines: "A microgrid consists of energy generation and energy storage that can power a building, campus, or community when not connected to the electric grid, e.g. in the event of a disaster." A microgrid that can be disconnected from the utility grid (at the 'point of common coupling' or PCC) is called an 'islandable microgrid'.

9. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

   Normally, the electric power used within the plant is provided from the station's own generators. If all of the plant's main generators are shut down, station service power is provided by drawing power from the grid through the plant's transmission line. However, during a wide-area outage, off-site power from the grid is not available.
