1. A method for managing energy within a predominantly closed power system, comprising:

  • obtaining one or more control actions that control energy transitions of a plurality of components;

    receiving transitional characteristics associated with the energy transitions;

    identifying, based on the transitional characteristics of the energy transition, one or more additive energy transitions and one or more subtractive energy transitions; and

    scheduling the energy transitions by generating a set of offsets, wherein a respective offset involves delaying at least one energy transition, and wherein scheduling the energy transitions involves one of;

    scheduling all additive energy transitions ahead of all subtractive energy transitions; and

    staggering a number of subtractive energy transitions between consecutive additive energy transitions.
