A method of controlling a microgrid comprises receiving, by a power management system, PMS, of the microgrid, operating point values for a plurality of controllable assets. The method comprises determining, by the PMS, an asset headroom. The method comprises determining, by the PMS, a modified operating point value that is dependent on the received operating point value of the controllable asset, the determined asset headroom of the controllable asset, and a total power offset of the microgrid. The method comprises controlling, by the PMS, the controllable assets for which the modified operating point values have been determined in accordance with the modified operating point values.

A method of controlling a microgrid includes retrieving, by an energy management system, EMS, a forecast variable value for a forecast variable. The EMS determines an operating point value for a controllable asset that depends on the retrieved forecast variable value. The EMS determines an operating point shift value for the controllable asset, the operating point shift value representing a shift in operating point value in response to a variation in forecast variable value. The operating point value and the operating point shift value are provided to a power management system, PMS, of the microgrid.
