Claim 12:
13. A distributed electrical system comprising:
at least one automated controller and at least one local area supervisory controller, the at least one local area supervisory controller operatively coupled with the at least one automated controller,
the at least one automated controller configured 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 the at least one local area supervisory controller, upon receiving a measurements-related request from the at least one local area supervisory controller;
receive a control message from the at least one local area supervisory controller, the control message comprising predefined conditions and information indicating the at least one 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,

the at least one local area supervisory controller configured to:
receive the values corresponding to the one or more electrical parameters associated with the plurality of connection points in the electrical distribution network, from the at least one automated controller;
determine the predefined conditions to be met between the two connection points based at least on the values and one or more desired applications;
transmit the control message to the at least one automated controller, the control message comprising the predefined conditions and the information indicating the at least one automated controller to wait for the predefined conditions to be met between the two connection points, prior to controlling the operation of the one or more contactors;
calculate set points associated with one or more power supply parameters to be regulated at one or more inverters of the DER in the electrical distribution network, based at least on the predefined conditions; and
transmit the set points to the one or more inverters, for regulating the one or more power supply parameters associated with the one or more inverters, to meet the predefined conditions between the two connection points.
