Description

As we expand out H2I to include system-level control, when should we require a top-level controller?

When we just have one technology, e.g. a solar plant or tidal turbine, we don't need a system-level controller.
If we have a wind farm and a battery, do we need a system-level controller?
When we have a demand component in the system, do we always need a system-level controller?

How can we better define when we need system-level control, both from a physical modeling perspective and from a code architecture and organization perspective?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how H2I currently represents system-level control and compare the single-technology, wind-farm-plus-battery, and demand-component cases described in the issue. Define decision criteria from both physical modeling and code architecture perspectives, with completion marked by a documented rule for when a top-level controller is required.
