Abstract

The transition to renewable energy systems is critical for addressing global energy security, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigating climate change. However, the integration of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydropower into traditional power grids presents a range of technical, operational, and policy challenges. This review explores innovative systems and technologies developed to support the large-scale integration of renewable energy, focusing on smart grids, energy storage solutions, demand-side management, and decentralized energy systems. Additionally, several successful case studies from countries like Denmark, Germany, and Australia are analyzed to highlight best practices and lessons learned in renewable energy integration. Emerging trends such as digitalization, the electrification of transportation, and vehicle-to-grid technology are discussed, alongside the crucial role of government policies and international cooperation in overcoming regulatory barriers and market constraints. The review concludes by outlining future research directions aimed at advancing energy storage, grid modernization, and ensuring a just transition to a low-carbon economy. By leveraging innovative technologies and supportive policies, the integration of renewable energy into global power systems can be accelerated, paving the way for a sustainable and resilient energy future.
