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

    At the heart of the Microgrid is a vanadium redoxflow battery supplied by GILDEMEISTER energy storage GmbH. [1]

  • Storage

    The battery is connected to the DC bus by built-in ARDA Battery DC-DC Converters. [1]

  • Storage

    ​The Energy Storage system maintains the DC bus voltage and controls the Energy Management function of the Microgrid. [1]

  • Generation

    The distributed generation components linked to the DC bus will include 16KW of solar and 10KW of gas generation. [1]

  • Generation

    Both Sources will be integrated into the DC Microgrid using the ARDA Source DC-DC Converters, which in the case of Solar include maximum power point tracking (MPPT) . [1]
