An overview of the design and testing of a hybrid system consisting of two North Wind 12 kW wind generators, a 5 kW Solarex photovoltaic array, and a 138 kWh GNB battery bank to provide power for an offshore tactical aircrew combat training system is presented. Test data were collected via a data acquisition system which provided data collection and reduction into hourly averages, system operational status information, current data, and a user system control. During the prototype testing, the system compiled a 100% availability record. The installation of eight offshore platform power systems is discussed.
