Abstract

A method of controlling a microgrid arrangement including a microgrid having a plurality of switches, and a plurality of Distributed Generators arranged for being connected to the microgrid. The method includes obtaining information about the microgrid arrangement. The method also includes, based on the obtained information, dynamically linking a first group of switches, of the plurality of switches, to each other. The method also includes detecting an event in the microgrid, and in response to the detection, automatically opening closed switches in the first group, whereby a first segment of the microgrid is disconnected from a second segment of the microgrid.
