This paper presents a microgrid transition controller for managing emergency operation when the microgrid experiences a system blackout caused by an internal or external fault. The developed transition controller consists of various application function blocks, including normal operation, emergency operation, and coordination between them. The developed microgrid transition controller is validated by a sample microgrid, and two test cases are investigated: islanded black start and grid-connected black start. The simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed microgrid transition controller for handling emergency operation and transitioning to normal operation.
