ASSESSMENT OF TECHNOLOGIES OF RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY AND THEIRENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR TECHNICAL INTEGRATION AND USE IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

Abstract

Energy needs are growing from year to year, and the environmental impacts of both electricity and heat
generation are leading to the depletion of key hydrocarbons, which leads to a focus of attention and is a constant
topic of discussion in the energy industry. For many years, renewable energy technologies have been the main
solution to this problem. However, the change in the technological mode of electricity production from traditional, usually based on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, to the generation of electricity based on renewable
resources is a set of problems associated with the emerging underdeveloped technologies for generating electric
energy. The article discusses the role of renewable energy sources in Russia and its potential to meet cur-rent and
growing needs for electricity in ways that are technically and economically justified. Renewable energy
technologies, ranging from developed and currently installed to new and innovative technologies presented in
terms of their technological development, the current state of technology, economic and social impact. At the
same time, renewable energy sources in Russia are represented in a variety of ways, the issues of dispatching,
variability, scalability, energy storage and storage, geographical restrictions and investment costs are crucial for
determining the future progress in this direction of the power industry.
