Claim:
1. An apparatus for managing a change in an operating state of a micro grid to manage flow of power between one or more distributable power sources, a utility power grid and one or more loads comprising: a microgrid computer comprising: a computer readable storage device storing a first operating state business parameter rule associated with a first operating state of the microgrid and a second operating state business parameter rule associated with a second operating state of the microgrid and a third operating state business parameter rule associated with a third operating state of the microgrid; and a control software module applying the first operating state business parameter rule to data received from a circuit layer of the microgrid to determine a first command and applying the first command to transition the microgrid from the first operating state to a second operating state; the control software module further applying the second operating state business parameter rule to data received from the circuit layer to determine a second command and applying the second command to transition the microgrid from the second operating state to a third operating state; the control software module further applying the third operating state business parameter rule to data received from the circuit layer to determine a third command and applying the third command to transition the microgrid from the third operating state to a fourth operating state;
