Two renewable sources that provide free energy to the "zero emission" Princess Elisabeth Antarctica. A Mix of Renewable Energy Sources While the sun never sets in Antarctica for one half of the year, it never rises for the other half.
The deployment of renewable energy at Antarctic stations has accelerated over the past 15 years as wind and solar technologies became more available and affordable and technological development expanded on a global scale.
The use of renewable-energy sources has the potential to reduce research stations'' greenhouse gas emissions, making research in Antarctica more sustainable. The availability of high-quality energy is crucial for survival and to allow scientists to conduct meaningful research at research stations under harsh Antarctic conditions.
Institute of Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies (IASOS), University of Tasmania, Australia Abstract Technologies for cleaner, renewable energy production and energy storage are rapidly evolving and new, realistic options for alternative energy systems for Antarctic stations can now be
A room full of classic lead-acid batteries enables the station to store energy for times when demands exceeds the current energy production. While the renewable energy systems that power the station are reliable and continuously checked, even in the harsh conditions of Antarctica, two generators were installed for security and backup.
Many national Antarctic programmes (NAPs) have adopted hybrid systems combining fossil fuels and renewable energy sources, with a preference for solar or wind depending on the specific location of the research station and previous experiences with certain technologies.

Overall, it can be seen that during the Antarctic winter the energy demand is highest, even when the population of a station is the lowest. The energy demand for Jang Bogo Station and King Sejong Station is shown in Figure 4 as primary fuel demand. Figure 4.
Several renewable electricity generation technologies that have proven effective for use in the Antarctic environment are described. as well as those that are currently in use. Finally, the paper summarizes the major lessons learned to support future projects and close the knowledge gap.
Energy security is vital for research stations in the Antarctic. Energy is required to support essential needs, such as heating, fresh-water supply, and electricity, which are critical for survival under harsh environmental conditions .
