INTRODUCTION
The world's attention is now firmly focused on green energy, reducing our carbon footprint, and mitigating global warming. Creating a cleaner environment and establishing sustainable smart grids and micro-grids are paramount in today's electrical energy generation. Emerging economies are actively exploring ways to optimise renewable energy generation, while electricity storage and the integration of renewables into existing grids are gaining momentum within the electric power industry.
Renewable energy sources are derived from natural processes, ensuring a constant replenishment of energy. These resources, often referred to as alternative or renewable energy sources, offer a sustainable alternative to conventional non-renewable fossil fuels. Solar and wind power technologies, for example, have become increasingly prevalent worldwide. Other renewable energy sources like hydroelectricity, geothermal, tidal energy, and biomass are rapidly gaining recognition in electricity generation.
