DeGrussa was a utility-scale off-grid mine hybrid: 10.6 MW AC of single-axis-tracking PV, a 6 MW battery, and an existing 19 MW diesel station serving an 11–13 MW continuous mine load. ARENA's final knowledge report documents the integration controls, operating reserves, participants, and a field communications failure down to the named controller bridge.
