Controls and hardware

Equipment and controller details

Manufacturer and model are shown only when a source names them. Generic descriptions are not converted into guessed product assignments.

No controller or equipment model was found in the reviewed public sources. This is a disclosure gap, not evidence that the project lacks coordinated controls.

Recovered detail

Additional technical notes

Concise system facts recovered from the historical project record. Treat these as historical unless a newer primary source confirms them.

  • Storage

    The energy storage system is also designed to typical grid fluctuations. [1]

  • Storage

    The battery array is normally held at 90% state-of-charge so it can be brought on line as an artificial load when necessary. [1]

  • Generation

    Biodiesel: (5) 2.85 MW MAN diesel engines [1]

  • Generation

    Wind: (11) 1 MW Enercon wind turbines [1]
