What is a microgrid?
Microgrids (MGs) represent one outcome of this transformation.

How can a microgrid controller be integrated into utility operations?
A simple method of integration of a microgrid controller into utility operations would be through abstraction. High-level use cases are presented to the operator (ex., voltage regulation, power factor control, island mode), but most actual control is handled by the remote controller and not the power system operator.
