Abstract

The polar regions are rich in resources with high scientific value. Polar scientific research is of great significance to natural environment, climate, astronomy and geology. Polar scientific research is closely related to polar energy supply. Most research stations still use fossil fuels as the main source of power generation. This kind of power supply not only pollutes the environment, but also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. As a kind of renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy, renewable energy not only has the characteristics of sustainable development, but also has the characteristics of local power generation and transportation cost saving. At present, several countries have started the construction and application of polar renewable energy, and achieved good results in some Antarctic stations. Based on the investigation and summary of the application of renewable energy in various countries, this paper discusses the development trend of polar energy supply in the future, and provides a clear idea and direction for the development of polar renewable energy.
