Two years experience in hydrogen production and use in Hope bay, Antarctica
The project was conceived to storage energy as gaseous hydrogen produced by electrolysis taking advantage of the wind energy available at the Antarctic remote location and use hydrogen in a variety of applications.
Antarctica New Zealand 10-MWh BESS
Endless Energy, in partnership with ComAp and EIS, secured the contract to design and install a cutting edge 10 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for the Scott Base redevelopment. The BESS will connect to three new 1MW wind turbines and a new microgrid system between Scott Base, the Crater Hill Wind Farm, and the American run

Running on Renewable Energies
The energy-producing solutions implemented at the Princess Elisabeth Station are incredibly efficient, so much so that solutions had to be foreseen for storage of any excess energy. A room full of classic lead-acid batteries enables the station to store energy for times when demands exceeds the current energy production.

6 FAQs about [Energy storage as a service Antarctica]
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 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).
What challenges do solar and wind systems face in Antarctica?
The extreme weather conditions and complex logistics of Antarctica put both solar and wind systems under huge stress, which generates operational, technological and budgetary challenges that are also explored in this work. Percentage of total energy consumption covered by renewable energy sources in Antarctic facilities.
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).
