Question 21

A scientific research team is planning to establish a self-sustaining polar research station on a remote sub-Antarctic island near a geothermal hot spring.

The team needs to generate electricity reliably using renewable energy sources and is evaluating three potential systems:

  • Solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays
  • Wind turbines
  • Geothermal micro-generators

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each option, taking into account the sub-Antarctic island location.
