In one embodiment, the method comprises dynamically adjusting a turns ratio of a tap changing transformer, the tap changing transformer coupled to a power grid distribution line that is also coupled to a plurality of microgrid branches wherein at least one microgrid branch of the plurality of microgrid branches comprises a distributed energy resource (DER), based on a reactive power measured locally to the tap changing transformer, to minimize current circulating on the power grid distribution line.",
