Abstract: A microgrid includes a power system configured to output system power and an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS includes a normal terminal that is electrically connected to a grid power line configured to receive grid power from a power utility, an emergency terminal that is electrically connected to a system power line configured to receive system power from the power system, and a load terminal that is electrically connected to a critical load line configured to provide power to a critical load. The microgrid also includes a bypass line electrically connected to the system power line and the critical load line, so as to bypass the ATS, and a circuit breaker configured to control power flow through the bypass line.
