Antarctic wind and solar power generation

Wind power

The katabatic winds blowing from the inland of the continent make Mawson station ideally situated for power generation by wind turbines. In 2003, Mawson had two 30 m tall, 300 kW wind turbines installed. This system could provide a

Utilization of clean energy and future trend of Antarctic research

when there is excess power generated by photovoltaic and wind power (Crossin et al., 2020). And hydrogen can be stored, while hydrogen fuel cells can be used to supplement the insufficient

Renewable energy – Australian Antarctic Program

Sir Douglas Mawson saw the potential for wind-generated power in Antarctica, and ANARE has continued to explore this interest. Experiments at Heard Island, and later at Mawson during the 1960s, demonstrated the potential of wind

Mapping Renewable Energy among Antarctic Research

Wind-energy use is becoming increasingly prevalent at Antarctica''s research stations. The present study identified more than ten research stations that have been using wind to generate electricity. The
