The Renewable Energy Integration and Optimization (REopt) platform is used to determine the optimal system component sizing and the associated system economics and environmental benefit. We find that the least-cost system includes all three energy generation sources and lithium-ion energy storage. For an example steady-state load of 170 kW, this hybrid system includes 180 kW-DC of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/engineering\/photovoltaic-panel\">photovoltaic panels<\/a>, 570 kW of wind turbines, and a 3.4 MWh lithium-ion&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/engineering\/battery-energy-storage\">battery energy storage system<\/a>. This system reduces diesel consumption by 95% compared to an all-diesel configuration, resulting in approximately 1200 metric tons of carbon footprint avoided annually. Over the course of a 15-year analysis period the reduced diesel usage leads to a net savings of 57 million United States dollars, with a time to payback of approximately two years. All the scenarios modeled show that the transition to renewables is highly cost effective under the unique economics and constraints of this extremely remote site.Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1364032123011322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1364032123011322<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I admire their optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps they should try powering a small part of the installation with a small number of wind turbines and solar panels, before they commit the entire facility to weather dependent energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess if all else fails, they could always burn the lithium battery for warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Update (EW):\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2024\/05\/18\/study-amundsen-scott-south-pole-station-could-be-powered-by-renewables\/#comment-3912497\">Mr Ed<\/a>\u00a0posted a fascinating video from 1962 about a nuclear reactor being delivered to McMurdo Station.
