Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org 5 facts
claimDigitalization of the power sector is a global technological trend that provides opportunities to increase the absorption of variable renewable energy sources like wind and solar, which are otherwise difficult to control.
claimSmart grids facilitate the increased absorption of variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, by providing the necessary infrastructure and capacity to displace fossil fuels from the grid.
claimRapid digitalization of the energy sector is a technology option to facilitate the energy transition, as it enhances flexibility and resilience to absorb variable renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
claimMicrogrid technology enhances the decentralization and use of variable renewable energy sources by balancing generation from solar, wind, and hydro with conventional sources like gas-fueled combustion turbines, coal, and diesel powerplants.
claimFuel cells and energy storage systems facilitate the use of variable renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro by absorbing and storing energy for use during peak demand or when supply diminishes.
