Abstract — The northern areas have a strategic importance for the Russian Federation. Enormous energy resources are concentrated in the circumpolar region. The successful development of the Arctic region requires high quality telecommunications systems. The power supply for these communication devices is an acute issue that needs to be solved in the remote areas of the Arctic. Satellite communication is available up to a latitude of 80 North. As a rule, the supply of satellite equipment needs diesel generators. In this paper, we propose the use of hybrid power energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines. Remote monitoring of such system makes it possible to understand the running processes, while generating electricity with the help of alternative sources of power. On the grounds of the analysis of available battery charge controllers from solar panels and wind turbines, the remote acquisition system was developed and tested in the Arctic. The system is based on a single-board computer
