The development of power plants based on renewable energy sources is chiefly based on the sun either directly (solar energy), and discursively (wind energy, hydraulic energy, and marine). Wind energy represents a significant potential for bearing the decrease of the demand response, but its intermittent features remain the most prominent challenge to handle.
The integration of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power into the grid is a challenge due to their intermittent nature, which requires the balancing of supply and
