Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a microgrid may include a plurality of microgrid power supply assets of a microgrid, where microgrid power supply assets include a first microgrid power supply asset of a first type and a second microgrid power supply asset different from the first type, and a microgrid controller communicably coupled to the plurality of microgrid power supply assets, and configured to control supply of power from one or more of the plurality of microgrid power supply assets to one or more loads of the microgrid. The microgrid controller may receive, via a human machine interface (HMI), a sequence of operations in which to control power supply to the microgrid; determine an operating mode in which to supply power to the load(s), according to the sequence of operations; and control one or more interfaces according to the operating mode, to control the supply of power to the load(s).
