• Sasmaz et al. (2020) identify three strategies to improve access and consumption of renewable energy: improving conversion efficiency, utilizing energy storage technologies to manage intermittency, and implementing policies that discourage fossil fuel consumption.
• While the operational costs of renewable energy are lower over the long-term compared to fossil fuels, high upfront costs associated with infrastructure, equipment, and grid integration remain a key barrier to large-scale development and energy storage.
• Kalair et al. advocate for the development of energy storage and transportation technologies to create an efficient energy supply as the world shifts from fossil fuels to renewable energy resources.
• Research on energy technology assessment (ETA) frequently focuses on renewable energy, energy storage, carbon capture, and life-cycle assessment as core themes.
• Integrating fluctuating renewable energy into existing power grids requires significant upgrades, advanced storage solutions, and flexible grid management systems to balance supply and demand.
• Students of Energy Technology Assessment (ETA) must be trained to evaluate the technical feasibility and broader societal, ethical, and economic consequences of innovations in renewable energy, energy storage, and carbon capture technologies.
• Combining multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and biomass, with energy storage technologies in hybrid systems can improve reliability and efficiency.
• Renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, tidal, and sustainable bioenergy, face constraints in deployment speed due to challenges regarding intermittency, energy storage, transmission, and seasonal variability.
• Dominant research topics in ETA-related sustainable energy include Renewable Energy, Energy Storage, Carbon Capture, Sustainability, ETA, and Solar Energy, with emerging areas including Artificial Intelligence, Grid Integration, and Low-Carbon Technology.
• Bibliometric studies on energy technology innovation have identified energy storage, grid integration, and the expansion of renewable energy solutions as crucial research areas.
• Ahmad A, Khan A, Javaid N, Hussain HM, Abdul W, Almogren A, Alamri A, and Azim Niaz I proposed an optimized home energy management system that integrates renewable energy and storage resources in a 2017 study.
• Advancements in energy storage, grid integration, and smart technologies improve the performance of renewable sources, making them superior alternatives to traditional energy sources.
• Intelligent prosumers are residential energy consumers who possess all the capabilities of intelligent users but also have the ability to supply excess energy back to the utility grid using on-site renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and bidirectional energy flow technologies.
• Renewable energy sources alone cannot achieve full decarbonization due to challenges regarding intermittency, energy storage, transmission, and seasonal variability.
• Hasaranga et al. (2017) recommend using a fuzzy inference system (FIS) to manage energy storage systems that utilize renewable energy sources and storage units, noting that it outperforms rule-based control methods in lowering fluctuations and prolonging the lifetime of energy storage devices.
• Hasaranga et al. (2017) recommend using a fuzzy inference system (FIS) for the management of energy storage systems that utilize renewable energy sources.
