Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016036419A1] An apparatus (215) for managing an electrical system (200) includes a main breaker (220) structured to be coupled to a utility source (205), an LER breaker (240) structured to be coupled to a local generation source (245), a number of branch breakers (230), each branch breaker being structured to be coupled to one or more loads (235), and a control component (250). The control component is structured to, in response to a determination that the utility source is experiencing a power outage: cause the main breaker to be opened, determine which one or more of the number of branch breakers are to receive backup power from the local generation source, cause the branch breakers to be configured such that only the determined one or more of the number of branch breakers are in a closed condition, and cause the local generation source to be activated.
