Abstract

Hybrid power supply systems based on the renewable energy sources, electrochemical rechargeable batteries, and fuel cells are considered. Such systems provide stable power supply and offer some advantages both over the traditional hydrocarbon-fueled diesel generators and over the radioisotope thermoelectric generators. The innovative technology of group connection to the Russian Satellite Communications Company resources is considered as a tool for the remote control of operation modes of various power generation sources under changing environmental parameters and payload. It is proposed to use such hybrid power systems to provide power supply for autonomous observation stations in the Russian Arctic.
