Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org Frontiers Mar 23, 2022 11 facts

claimThe transition to smart grids is a key technology for sustainable energy, as smart grids support decentralized generation and the integration of fluctuating renewable energy sources like solar and wind, as well as fluctuating demand from electric vehicles, while maintaining a stable electricity supply.

claimThe implementation of smart grids capable of absorbing small-scale producers and variable supply increases the integration of wind energy, solar energy, small-scale hydro sources, and decentralized generation into the power system.

claimNew decentralized generation technologies have inverted traditional economies of scale, improving the economic viability of small energy systems.

perspectiveFuture research into the practical details of smart grids, decentralized generation, energy storage, and the computerization and optimization of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution is recommended to facilitate a sustainable energy future.

claimDecentralized generation increases local energy production and encourages cogeneration and trigeneration from renewable energy sources, requiring grid modernization to absorb small producers and enable two-way communication between consumers and producers.

claimElectrifying rural populations provides an opportunity to increase the use of renewable electricity sources, particularly through decentralized generation systems.

claimDecentralized generation systems widen the feasibility of grid-connected generation, which is primarily sourced from renewable energy.

claimThe implementation of a hybrid energy system combining centralized and decentralized generation requires specific principles and mechanisms to ensure reliability in operations.

claimSustainable grid electricity requires the implementation of facilitating technologies and infrastructure, specifically smart grids and the decentralization of power generation.

claimThe study "Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid" is unique because it incorporates technical and institutional dimensions alongside economic, social, and environmental dimensions, specifically addressing energy storage, transport electrification, and the role of smart grids in managing decentralized generation.

claimHydropower contributes to energy sustainability through long-term clean power generation, with significant potential remaining in small and mini hydropower schemes for both decentralized and centralized generation.
