Backup Power
Electrical power supplied by local equipment when normal utility service is unavailable or unsuitable. Coverage, transfer behavior, and runtime depend on the equipment and system design.
Related Terms
Whole-home backup refers to a system designed to power most or all of a home during an outage, depending on available capacity and load management.
On-site electrochemical energy storage that allows a property to store electricity and discharge it on demand. In a microgrid, storage may support backup operation, energy buffering, and reduced generator runtime. Transfer behavior depends on the selected equipment, system design, and operating conditions. Storage is sized in kWh for energy capacity and kW for power output; both metrics affect supported loads and duration.
A backup generator produces electricity during outages or backup conditions. In a microgrid, it may work with batteries, transfer equipment, and load controls.

Customer-sited generation + energy storage + backup generation + intelligent controls = whole-property power continuity.
