Renewable energy integration and management: Bibliometric analysis and application of advanced technologies

Abstract

This study critically examines the integration and management of renewable energy through bibliometric analysis and the application of advanced technologies, aiming to uncover major research trends, technological innovations, and ongoing challenges in the field. By analysing scientific publications from 2021 to 2023 using the Scopus and Web of Science databases, the research focuses on critical topics such as renewable energy management, advanced technologies, and emerging global collaborations. The findings reveal a substantial rise in research output, particularly in solar and wind energy, alongside a growing emphasis on international cooperation. Notably, advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain are identified as pivotal in enhancing the operational efficiency and control of renewable energy systems. However, critical challenges persist, such as the lack of robust policy frameworks, insufficient infrastructure, and the complexity of system integration. This research underscores the necessity of adopting a multidisciplinary approach and comprehensive policy support to facilitate long-term, sustainable energy solutions. These insights offer valuable guidance for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers in shaping future strategies to optimise the use of renewable energy.
