Renewable Energy Integration Using digital technologies to optimize solar, wind, and other renewable sources

This research explored the connection between the implementation of renewable energy and digitalization in the sector by reviewing relevant literature published from 2010 to 2024. The aim was to assess the current application of digital technologies in the industry, the obstacles encountered during their adoption, and future opportunities. A variety of search engines, such as SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, were utilized to gather pertinent articles and documents. The results emphasized the vital importance of digital technologies in advancing the renewable energy sector, while also revealing significant challenges, including high costs and security concerns. Although the majority of the analyzed studies presented an optimistic outlook, they stressed the need for additional research and development to support a successful energy transition and establish resilient infrastructure. The factors driving the integration of digital technologies to enhance the adoption of renewable energy sources appear to extend beyond mere energy demand, encompassing various dimensions of sustainability and sustainable development. Unlike previous reviews, this study provides a unique perspective by investigating the broader interplay between digitalization and the renewable energy sector, focusing on critical areas that warrant further exploration within these interconnected fields. The relatively small number of relevant studies identified (69 out of 836 results) underscores the necessity for more extensive research in this area.
