The use of battery energy storage in power systems is increasing. But while approximately 192GW of solar and 75GW of wind were installed globally in 2022, only 16GW/35GWh (gigawatt hours) of new storage systems were deployed.

Energy demand and consumption has steadily increased at the research station, requiring additional battery energy storage to support the needs of the scientists. With a photovoltaic power plant deployed in 2008, the research station paired it with a battery energy storage system (BESS) using Monbat''s advanced lead batteries.
Conventional energy storage systems, such as pumped hydroelectric storage, lead–acid batteries, and compressed air energy storage (CAES), have been widely used for energy storage. However, these systems face significant limitations, including geographic constraints, high construction costs, low energy efficiency, and environmental challenges.
Many national Antarctic programmes (NAPs) have adopted hybrid systems combining fossil fuels and renewable energy sources, with a preference for solar or wind depending on the specific location of the research station and previous experiences with certain technologies.
Solar energy has also become prevalent in Antarctic operations in the last decade. This type of energy was mainly introduced either to complement wind energy or in summer bases, summer shelters and on expedition equipment that can be powered by solar energy (radios, very-high-frequency (VHF) repeaters).
A study conducted for the Brazilian Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station explored the potential of co-generation and a combination of different renewable energy sources, observing the greatest potential for wind energy, followed by solar PV panels (covering only 3.3% of total annual consumption if placed on walls; de Christo et al. 2016).
Uruguay found the installation of solar PV panels at its Antarctic station to be an easy and straightforward task, with the first 1 kW-capacity setup being installed in 2018. Solar panels were mounted on the walls of the building to minimize interference from the wind.
