Abstract

The Compania Dominicana de Telefonos (CODETEL) operates several remote microwave repeater stations as a part of the Dominican Republic´s microwave communications network. These repeater sites are powered by various combinations of power sources including solar photovoltaic, wind turbines, diesel generating sets, and grid-connected AC power, in both stand-alone and hybrid power system architectures. The specific hybrid power system configuration is detailed, and system operational history for the Las Petacas site is provided. The Las Petacas hybrid power system integrates photovoltaics, a wind turbine, and a diesel generating set
