A microgrid comprises an electric vehicle battery storage system that supplies a first DC signal, a bus bar that receives the first DC signal and provides a combined DC signal, a frequency variable and/or voltage variable inverter that receives the combined DC signal, converts, responsive to one or more control signals, the combined DC signal into a first AC signal having variable frequency and/or variable voltage, and provides the first AC signal having the variable frequency and/or voltage to the electrical loads of the facility, and a DC to AC that receives, responsive to the one or more control signals, the combined DC signal from the bus bar, and converts the combined DC signal to a second AC signal.
