Abstract
Energy resource is very important to the survival in the polar region. Wind energy, which is one of renewable energy, can guarantee the clean, inexhaustible, natural resource in the polar region. It is essential to assess the wind energy resource of the site where wind turbines will be installed. In the present study, the wind characteristics of the antarctic King Sejong station are analysed from its meteorological observation data. The wind resource of the Sejong station is also simulated and predicted using WAsP program. From the results, the Sejong station has very excellent wind resource and the site where small wind turbines will be installed is determined.
