1. A control system for a power system having a renewable energy source and an energy storage system, the control system comprising:
a control circuit configured to receive power system data from one or more sub-systems and devices of the power system connected to a DC power bus; and control, in real-time, one or more of a power inverter and the energy storage system of the power system to act as a load on the DC power bus based on the received power system data; and
one or more sensors connected to the DC power bus, an AC connected load, or both;
wherein the control system is configured to, in real-time, increase or decrease real power injected to the AC connected load in response to a change in frequency on the AC connected load based on measured parameters from the one or more sensors or the power system data.
