Design, Modeling and Testing of the Askaryan Radio Array South Pole Autonomous Renewable Power Stations [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.1253


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.
