Method of operating an electrical power distribution system (1), said power distribution system (1) comprising: -at least one electrical power generator (3, 5) with uncontrollable variable supply; -at least one electrical power consuming resource (13) with controllable demand and subject to at least one state constraint, said electrical power consuming resource (13) with controllable demand being arranged to be controlled by an internal controller (17); -a system controller (15) adapted to send requests to said internal controller (17) to request variation in said controllable demand; -an electrical power distribution network (9) arranged to transmit electrical power from said at least one electrical power generator (3, 5) to said at least one electrical power consuming resource (13) with controllable demand. A virtual battery model (19) of the electrical power consuming resource (13) with controllable demand is created, and is used to generate a set of feasible power consumption requests that the electrical power consuming resource (13) with controllable demand can fulfil on the basis of the virtual battery model (19)
