Qinling Station in Antarctica launches wind solar hydrogen ESS new energy generation system
On March 1, 2025, China's first large-scale new energy system built in Antarctica was put into operation at the perennial scientific research station Qinling Station, providing power guarantee for the entire station area. This is the first time that China has operated a large-scale green energy system mainly based on wind and solar new energy in the low-temperature and windy environment of Antarctica.
The Qinling Station new energy power generation system is the first large-scale new energy system constructed by China in Antarctica, and it is also the largest new energy power generation system currently configured in China's Antarctic research stations, with a clean energy proportion of up to 60% or more. The trial operation of this system has set a new benchmark for China's Antarctic green exploration, green construction, and low-carbon development, and provided a solid guarantee for the Qinling Station to carry out wintering tasks.
The new energy system of Qinling Station in Antarctica includes hardware facilities such as wind power generation, PV power generation, ESS, hydrogen production and storage, and hydrogen energy generation. It adopts an advanced microgrid EMS, which can effectively cope with the weather characteristics of extreme cold, strong winds, polar day and night in Antarctica, and ensure the short-term pure green operation of scientific research equipment and basic living facilities of stationed personnel at Qinling Station.
The wind power installed capacity of this project is 100kW, and 10 sets of low-temperature 10kW pitch controlled wind turbines adopt mechanical centrifugal pitch controlled technology and a specially designed low-temperature resistant lubrication system to ensure that the wind turbines can operate continuously and stably in the cold and windy environment of Antarctica.
