Current Status of Renewable and Non-renewable Energy: Focus on Wind Energy and Its Integration
摘要
With the rising world’s population at a rapid rate and the global economy expanding rapidly, the need for energy continues to grow. The non-renewable energy sources are gradually diminishing over time, which will be a major challenge in the future. One potential solution to this challenge is using or integrating renewable energy alongside traditional energy sources. Renewable energy facilitates the preservation of natural resources by mitigating environmental effects and safeguarding the ecosystem. Renewable energy production is crucial for decreasing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This chapter initially presents the energy scenarios and their global consumption. The following section discusses the current and future status of renewable and non-renewable energy and their types. The following section discusses wind energy and its integration with other form of energy. The fourth section discusses the challenges of wind energy and its integration. The following two sections summarize the chapter and discuss the future scope.
