6 FAQs about [Antarctica commercial energy storage]

What makes Antarctica a good place to store energy?

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.

What is a hybrid energy system in Antarctica?

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.

Will hydrogen fuel cells be used in Antarctica?

In the future, the station's engineering team plans to install hydrogen fuel cells as an additional intermediary backup system. Two of the most omnipresent features of Antarctic weather (during the Austral summer) are the wind and the sun. Two renewable sources that provide free energy to the “zero emission” Princess Elisabeth Antarctica.

Can co-generation be used in Antarctica?

A study conducted for the Brazilian Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station explored the potential of co-generation and a combination of different renewable energy sources, observing the greatest potential for wind energy, followed by solar PV panels (covering only 3.3% of total annual consumption if placed on walls; de Christo et al. 2016).

Can solar energy be used in Antarctica?

Solar energy has also become prevalent in Antarctic operations in the last decade. This type of energy was mainly introduced either to complement wind energy or in summer bases, summer shelters and on expedition equipment that can be powered by solar energy (radios, very-high-frequency (VHF) repeaters).

Why are Antarctic research stations so expensive?

Antarctic research stations are some of the most remote facilities on the planet, relying primarily on fossil fuel to generate power with high reliability. In the case of the South Pole, the supply of fossil fuel is particularly expensive due to the complicated transportation logistics required for its delivery.
