Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are directed towards a microgrid having modular power management units to control and regulate power to maintain a stable energy environment and provide peer-to-peer electricity sharing within the microgrid. The microgrid includes a power source to generate power for the microgrid, a source power management unit coupled to the power source to receive the power, one or more load power management units coupled to the source power management unit to receive a portion of the power and a bi-directional communication system to couple the source power management unit to the one or more load power management units to control and allocate the power from the source power management unit to the one or more load power management units.
