Natural prerequisites for using renewable hydrosphere energy for the development of «green» power system in The Far North-East of Russia

The article provides an overview of the natural prerequisites for the formation and use of renewable energy resources in the region: seas (waves, currents, tides), rivers, thermal groundwater. It is shown that the resources of the Arctic seas are not suitable for development in the foreseeable future due to ice content and low tide height. The resources of the Pacific seas may be available for development with global warming to average annual atmospheric temperatures on the sea coasts above 0 0C. Damless power plants are the most environmentally safe. Renewable energy of rivers is promising for expanding the base of «green» energy in mountainous areas. Significant seasonal fluctuations in flow make large areas of reservoirs corresponding to the capacity of hydroelectric power plants necessary. At the same time, the areas of valley taliks – oases of life in the region of continuous cryolithozone – are flooded, and the conditions for the reproduction of fish resources in the lower pools are negatively changing. The current global warming may lead to an increase in the energy resource of rivers by 2050 by approximately 14%.

The energy of underground waters with temperatures above 70 0C, Anadyr and Khatyr artesian basins are promising for ensuring the operation of local binary power plants. Climate warming does not affect the characteristics of thermal waters.
