  • Abstract
    This paper describes a transportable Photovoltaic Electric Power System (PEPS) for powering US Marine Corps communication equipment. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the role of alternative energy systems to provide power for communication in place of conventional engine-generator sets. The power system was required to be transportable on standard military 1¿ ton cargo trailers. In this paper the system design will be reviewed and the results of field testing by the US Marine Corps will be presented.
