Patent ID: 8447435

Claim:
An apparatus for controlling the operations of a plurality of microgrid modules comprising: a first microgrid module comprising a first DC bus receiving power for the first microgrid module and a first AC output bus supplying power to a load; a second microgrid module comprising a second DC bus receiving power for the second microgrid module and a second AC output bus supplying power to a load; the first microgrid module further comprising a first power router coupled to the first DC bus, the first power router supplying power to an inter-microgrid connection for delivery to the second microgrid module; the second microgrid module further comprising a second power router coupled to the second DC bus, the second power router receiving power from the inter-microgrid connection for supplying to the second microgrid module, wherein at least one of the first power router and the second power router is capable of sensing demand for power from the second microgrid module.
