Antarctica's Electrical Systems
This months meeting combines meeting with a perspective on Antarctica's power solutions.
Providing power systems in Antarctica has unique challenges. The development of the current Amundsen-Scott Base at the South Pole and further developments at McMurdo Station had the designers from Alaska, states and multiple vendors bringing solutions which are working well for the US and others to meet the year round needs of the Scientists and support personnel.
