Abstract

Methods for energizing microgrids and microgrid energy distribution systems are provided. A method for energizing a microgrid includes energizing a storage management system (SMS) that is configured to control power distribution in the microgrid. The method further includes connecting a plurality of reactive components to the SMS based on a configuration control programmed into the SMS. The method yet further includes ramping up an output voltage of the SMS based on limiting inrush currents of the plurality of reactive components in the microgrid.
