Abstract

We describe the design, construction and operation of the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) Autonomous Renewable Power Stations, initially installed at the South Pole in December, 2010 with the goal of providing an independently operating 100 W power source capable of year-round operation in extreme environments. In addition to particle astrophysics applications at the South Pole, such a station can easily be, and has since been, extended to operation elsewhere, as described herein.

    • Tangentially related if you're interested: I worked on IceCube and ARA as an undergrad in college and wrote a lengthy paper on the autonomous power stations we built for the ARA neutrino detectors at the South Pole. https://arxiv.org/abs/1403.1253
