The application of renewable power systems is particularly relevant to remote locations such as Antarctic stations, where traditional fossil fuel based systems incur relatively high costs of fuel transportation, in conjunction with an increased risk of environmental damage.

Research and data collection over several years has allowed us to determine the best alternative energy option for Australian stations. This is to install a small number of large commercially available, minimally modified wind-turbines. They would be variable-speed, 280kW machines without gearboxes…
The provision of energy services has always held a vital, central role in the support of Antarctic research operations.
Mosses are the dominant plant species in continental Antarctica, where they sparsely colonize the limited stony … coastal areas not permanently covered with snow and ice. The few species of mosses present in Antarctica live ‘‘on the … edge’’ for plant life…
The French-Australian cooperative project "Alternative Energy Systems for Antarctic Stations" was originally focused on a broad study of station needs and alternative energy options. It has evolved towards an integrated system combining knowledge and data management…
