Abstract

The article discusses matters relating to the global experience gained from the development of renewable energy. It is shown that in 2022, the global installed capacity of renewable energy sources (RES) reached 3372 GW, and the largest growth in renewable energy capacity was observed: almost 295 GW of renewable energy capacities was added worldwide, which increased the global capacity of renewable energy sources by 9.6% and provided an unprecedented 83% of its global growth, mainly due to the growth of generation based on solar and wind energy. The economic and technological problems associated with an increase in the share of RES-based energy generation in power systems are analyzed. The price of raw materials used in solar panels and wind turbines has increased over the past year. The widespread use of RES entails the need to introduce additional balancing capacities and energy storages, construct high-voltage power transmission lines over long distances, as well as closer inter-area links to cope with the imbalance between generation and load.
