The R2D2 project, a core part of Arthur Garreau\u2019s PhD<\/a> research at the Arctic Technology Department, was conducted in collaboration with UNIS. During my internship, I contributed to this initiative, which focuses on adapting solar energy systems to the extreme Arctic environment of Svalbard and addressing renewable energy challenges in high-latitude regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Context<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As Longyearbyen transitioned from coal-based energy to diesel generators and solar panels, the R2D2 experiment was designed to evaluate the performance of solar energy systems under Arctic conditions. The project tested nine solar panels oriented in different directions, measuring energy production and integrating storage systems to optimize renewable energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
