The transition to renewable energy requires a fundamental shift in power grid dynamics
In short: A review of the global electrical power sector found that the push to decarbonize economies is creating a surge in electricity demand. To meet this, the sector must integrate sustainable development principles while balancing the challenges of replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources.
The research highlights a shift toward a 'prosumer' model, where businesses and households both consume and produce energy. This transition requires addressing the impacts of large-scale renewable deployment on utility grids, such as the issues seen during recent energy crises.
This review synthesizes existing literature to identify key factors for sustainable development in the power sector. However, as a review paper, it summarizes existing knowledge rather than providing new primary data from a specific experiment.
Why it matters: Sustainable energy growth requires rethinking how we produce, consume, and manage electricity on a global scale.
