The cost of energy generation per kWh is quite low. Micro-hydro systems, however, are confined to places with sufficient water supply. Increased power generation cost: The implementation of a hybrid system will result in an overall increase in complexity, and there is a possibility that the cost of producing electricity would go up as a result.

Microgrid Components. Like a traditional grid, energy generation is the heart of a microgrid system. This can range from diesel generators and batteries, the most common sources at the moment, to power generated by renewable resources such as solar panels, wind farms, fuel cells, or other sources of renewable energy.
