Major sources include Solar PV (photovoltaic), Wind Power (onshore and offshore), Hydro Power (large and small), Biomass, and Waste-to-Energy.
Advantages: Reduced carbon emissions, energy security, lower operational costs, decentralized generation potential.
Challenges of intermittency: Solar power is only available during the day, wind power depends on wind speed.
Challenges of variability: Output fluctuates rapidly, making grid balancing difficult.
Grid integration issues: Requires robust transmission infrastructure, real-time monitoring, and forecasting.
Land requirement: Large solar and wind farms require significant land area.
Resource availability: Geographic limitations for optimal solar irradiation or wind speeds.
Cost of integration: Requires investments in energy storage, grid modernization, and flexible generation assets.
