Renewable energy is fast becoming a growth industry around the world. Renewable energy is derived by utilising natural resources, such as wind or solar, to create a source of energy that can be constantly replenished. The development of renewable energy technologies is quickly becoming an area of advancement, with the need to effectively generate, store and distribute renewable energy to the grid.
Renewable energy is produced by using natural resources. These resources are constantly replaced or renewed to continue the energy production process. Sources such as:
- Solar, Wind, Hydro
- Geothermal Energy, Bioenergy, Wave & Tidal Energy
New technologies are being developed or improved, to deliver consistency and reliability to the energy grid. These include renewable technologies include developments such as:
- Battery storage
- Supply prediction solutions
- Smart grid technologies
There are many reasons why there is an increased interest and investment in renewable energy. These include a drive to reduce CO2 emissions worldwide, reduction in the reliance on fossil fuels, which unlike renewable energy sources have a finite source, desire to source a more cost-effective alternative to other energy sources, lowering costs to develop wind and solar plants, international agreement on emissions that contribute to global warming.
