Renewable Energy Utilization and Remote Autonomous Technology for Off-Grid Microgrids in Polar/Polar-Like Environments

---

Introduction:

While renewable energy utilization is accelerating worldwide, with solar, wind, and other sources powering communities and industries, its deployment in off-grid microgrids encounters profound obstacles in the planet's most unforgiving frontiers. Polar regions-encompassing the Arctic and Antarctic-alongside polar-like harsh environments such as high-latitude tundras, alpine plateaus, subzero wildernesses, and potential off-world habitats like lunar or Martian bases-impose conditions that test the resilience of energy infrastructures to their core. Elements including unrelenting sub-zero temperatures dropping to -60℃ or lower, extended polar nights with minimal solar input, logistical isolation spanning seasons, aggressive wind-driven snow accumulation, ground instability from thawing permafrost, constrained maintenance windows, and stringent ecological protections to preserve pristine habitats, necessitate groundbreaking advancements in power system design.
Nevertheless, the imperative for autonomous, sustainable energy solutions in these remote locales is escalating. Isolated scientific outposts, nomadic indigenous settlements, resource extraction sites, and exploratory missions all hinge on uninterrupted power for survival, communication, and operations. Traditionally dependent on fuel-intensive diesel systems that are costly to transport, prone to mechanical failures in cold, and environmentally detrimental through emissions and spills, the pivot to renewables integrated with remote autonomous technologies is not merely advantageous; it is critical for enhancing energy independence, mitigating climate impacts, optimizing expenditures, and ensuring operational continuity.Topics include, but are not limited to:
1. Adaptability Assessment and Optimization Strategies for Renewable Energy Generation Technologies in Extreme Environments;
2. Collaborative Optimization of Energy Storage and System Management Considering Uncertainty;
3. Intelligent Monitoring Technology Based on Remote Autonomy and Its Application in Energy Systems;
4. Resilience Assessment and Enhancement Strategies for Distribution Networks Considering Uncertainty of Extreme Weather
