Abstract
Power systems are typically complex and can be affected by their environment in ways that cannot be completely predicted by their designers. It is thus imperative that monitoring is considered as part of the design of new power systems. Due to the associated costs of maintenance, repair, and downtime, monitoring these systems is particularly important when the installations are remote. Remote locations benefit greatly from renewable energy sources. As a result, this work focuses on a novel Hybrid Inverter system developed by Optimal Power Solutions Pty. Ltd. (OPS). This system uses renewable energy sources, grid power, and diesel generators together with a bi-directional inverter to supply a remote location with grid-quality power.
