Abstract
A power distribution system includes a macrogrid controller configured to control one or more first loads associated with a macrogrid, wherein the one or more first loads include a microgrid comprising one or more second loads and a plurality of energy resource systems; and a microgrid controller configured to receive one or more control signals from the macrogrid controller and control a power connection of the microgrid to the macrogrid based on the one or more control signals. The microgrid controller is configurable in a grid-connected mode, during which the microgrid is connected to the macrogrid, and a stand-alone mode, during which the microgrid is disconnected from the macrogrid, and wherein the microgrid controller is configured to operate in the grid-connected mode or in the stand-alone mode based on the one or more control signals.
