Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 11:
12. An automated controller, comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; a communication interface; and
a processor in communication with the memory and the communication interface, the processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory and thereby cause the automated controller to perform at least in part to:
receive values corresponding to one or more electrical parameters associated with a plurality of connection points in an electrical distribution network, the values being acquired via one or more electrical sensors located at the plurality of connection points, wherein the one or more electrical parameters comprises at least one of voltage, current, phase, frequency, and power flow;
transmit the values to a local area supervisory controller, upon receiving a measurements-related request from the local area supervisory controller;
receive a control message from the local area supervisory controller, the control message comprising predefined conditions and information indicating the automated controller to wait for the predefined conditions to be met between two connection points of the plurality of connections points, the two connection points comprising a connection point to which a distributed energy resource (DER) is connected; and
control an operation of one or more contactors positioned between the two connection points, based at least on the predefined conditions.
