The hybrid solar system has been designed
and installed to generate electricity which combines diesel
generator with multiple renewable energy sources PV array
and wind turbine, and operates with solar inverter and
solar system software for remote power monitoring and
control. The 3 hybrid solar systems are installed at 3
islands of Republic of Maldives; Uligam Island, Raimandhoo
Island and Kondey Island, by Daily Life Renewable Energy Pte. Ltd.
The hybrid minigrid system is renewable energy system,
which helps conserve energy by reducing the use of diesel
fuel in generator and sustainable energy is combined in
the system with proper balance in order to maximize the
system efficiency.
The 3 installed systems at 3 islands of Republic of
Maldives are the pilot projects of Republic of Maldives
which generate electricity from multiple renewable energy sources. Furthermore, Leonics will join
DLRE in the development of the hybrid minigrid systems for more than 100 islands of Republic of Maldives in
near future.

Hybrid System Control Command Unit (HCCU) is designed for remote control and real-time monitoring the hybrid energy system. HCCU is a part of our telemonitoring service which can monitor real time generated energy from PV, wind turbine or other energy sources such as diesel generator and other system operating data. It also can record and display the event log data. These can help the user to analyze the produced energy, consumed energy and other system operating data for evaluating the system operation for preventive and corrective maintenance. The system operating data will be transferred to Leonics Monitoring and Operation Control Center at Bangkok, Thailand via GSM and GPRS network that allows the authorized customer to access their system for remote power monitoring and control their hybrid energy system any time at any place via www.leonics-moc.com.
