1. A system comprising:
a first renewable energy source (RES) configured to provide electrical energy;
a first circuit comprising a first energy storage system (ESS) and a point of interconnection (POI) coupled to a power grid;
a second circuit comprising a second ESS and a source-sensitive destination;
a first switch configured to selectively connect one of the first circuit or the second circuit to the first RES;
a plurality of switches, each switch configured to selectively connect one of a plurality of RESs to one of the first circuit or the second circuit, wherein the first RES is one of the plurality of RESs; and
a controller comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the controller to operate each of the plurality of switches to connect one of the plurality of RESs to the first circuit or the second circuit, wherein the controller is configured to couple a first number of switches to the first circuit and a second number of switches to the second circuit based at least in part on an energy demand from the source-sensitive destination.
