Pumping-station modernisation: hybrid VFD/hydroaccumulator control

Ongoing methodological work on a decentralised control architecture for pumping-station modernisation: pairing a limited-range variable-frequency drive with a hydroaccumulator buffer, framed as an autonomous local supply node rather than requiring full network-wide coordination. This is notes on an evolving analysis, not a finished, validated deployment — it is presented here for technical transparency, in the same spirit as the rest of this section.
