“…This is mainly due to the complications regarding wind and ocean turbines or the absence of sunlight during certain seasons in the region. Furthermore, most nations are still in early stages of research in enacting the use of renewable energy in their Antarctic research stations [ 20 , 21 , 22 ]. To date, only Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth Antarctica Research Station has been reported to be fully depending on renewable energies to meet its energy requirement [ 23 ].…”

Diesel acts as a main energy source to complement human activities in Antarctica. However, the increased expedition in Antarctica has threatened the environment as well as its living organisms. While more efforts on the use of renewable energy are being done, most activities in Antarctica still depend heavily on the use of diesel. Diesel contaminants in their natural state are known to be persistent, complex and toxic. The low temperature in Antarctica worsens these issues, making pollutants more significantly toxic to their environment and indigenous organisms. A bibliometric analysis had demonstrated a gradual increase in the number of studies on the microbial hydrocarbon remediation in Antarctica over the year. It was also found that these studies were dominated by those that used bacteria as remediating agents, whereas very little focus was given on fungi and microalgae. This review presents a summary of the collective and past understanding to the current findings of Antarctic microbial enzymatic degradation of hydrocarbons as well as its genotypic adaptation to the extreme low temperature.

Research stations in the Antarctic have their own electrical generation facilities and are not interconnected to any grid. Scarcity of fuel and unavailability of interconnection characterize these Antarctic energy systems as mission-critical isolated microgrids. In this work, an energy management strategy has been proposed for South African Antarctic research station SANAE IV for improving fuel efficiency. The proposed strategy consists of optimal dispatch of generation and installation of a thermal load controller for the supply side, and a novel demand response scheme for the demand side. The system was simulated using HOMER Microgrid Analysis Tool. Results showed an 8.30% decrease in fuel consumption, which corresponds to 21,876 litres of diesel annually. These savings can be achieved without major capital expenditure or difficult engineering work. Keywords-Microgrids, energy management, demand-side management, power generation dispatch.I.

“…The continuity of the research evaluates the impact of distributed generation in decision-making processes of technical planning of the electrical energy distribution company [8] and the project and development of a microgrid, including the concept of Smart Grid, for the Brazilian Station in Antarctica [9]. In his master's degree [10] Azini developed a software for non-intrusive monitoring of residential loads, which will be included in the pilot project.…”

The interest on renewable sources of energy and sustainable energy management has driven a lot of countries to develop projects and researches about this subject. The microgrid is one of the approaches within the concept of Smart Grids that has been studied through recent years. This paper describes the recent state of the researches about microgrids in Federal University of Espírito Santo, and presents the pilot project of a microgrid developed in this university. The microgrid is connected to the electrical main grid with wind and solar photovoltaic resources and with a control system for studies on energy management, electrical systems protection, multi-objective optimization and virtual synchronous generation
