Abstract

The demand for "renewable energy sources" has risen due to worries about climate change and the depletion of fossil resources. Two of the most widely used and innovative renewable energy sources are solar and wind power. This study has provided an in-depth analysis of the current scientific foundations for wind and solar energy, as well as the opportunities and obstacles associated with their use. It has examined solar radiation properties, photovoltaic cells, the photoelectric effect, and wind turbine aerodynamics, blade design, and kinetic energy concepts. Due to its dispersed, clean, and endless ability to create power, solar energy may be able to provide almost all of the world's energy needs. The present development status of grid-connected technology and wind power new energy are adopted in the essay. By using energy storage, we may enhance the dependability of the electrical system and provide a sustainable power supply, since a large portion of renewable energy comes from grid-connected sources.
