Abstract :
This paper presents an innovative hybrid system being implemented in three remote islands in the Republic of Maldives .It is expected that the newly developed and installed system will provide very good opportunities to showcase high penetration of renewable energies using state of the art wind turbines, photovoltaic modules and advanced power electronics and control technology and the future possibilities of distributed generation in remote locations.
