The power grid is the spine of the energy revolution and social progress. With microgrid technology gradually coming into maturity and offshore wind power continuously developing, the development of the future power grid will be the result of the combination of an ultralarge-scale backbone grid and distributed microgrids. Microgrids will be the power supplies for families, schools, and tourism areas, while the large-scale grid will be responsible for the power supply for industrial areas, large- and medium-sized cities, and large areas with developed economies.
