A number of modern technologies that can be hoped to decrease the use of traditional sources of energy are known at the present.

-Energy Storage:
Long-duration storage: Potential solutions contained by flow batteries, compressed air energy storage, and pumped hydro storage are critical to address the variability of solar and wind resources. storage capacity These systems possess the capability to store power for long, and they can supply power in situations where generation power is low.
-Advanced battery technologies: Activities are]string development on solid state batteries and lithium sulfur chemistry and other future battery chemistries. These are intended to provide higher energy density, longer cycle durations and improved costs so that they are suitable for large-scale applications.

Solar Power:
-Perovskite solar cells: Cobalt and nickel based STs, the new type of the solar cells may likely reach at a significantly higher efficiency as well as at much lower cost of production than the silicon solar cells.
Concentrated solar power (CSP): One type of CSP technology like parabolic trough and power tower categories offer the flexibility of producing power even in minimal sunlight and work hand in Hand with a thermal energy storage to provide power during the day and at night.

Wind Power:
Offshore wind power: It makes offshore wind farms get stronger and steadier winds which can allow a higher energy generating capacity.
-Floating wind turbines: These turbines can therefore be installed in deeper waters and this create a larger opportunities for offshore wind power.

Smart Grid Technologies:

Demand-side management: Smart grids rein improve the communication and flow of energy between the producers and consumers, through demand side management that seeks to manage the energy consumption and avoid constraining peaks.
-Grid modernization: Ways of achieving high levels of integration include: enhanced use of microgrids, distributed generation, and smart metering.

Integration into Existing Energy Infrastructures:

-Modernization of Grid:
Upgrading the current infrastructure is essential for incorporation of high rates of variable renewable energies, according to advanced technology like smart meters, grid automation systems, and flexible transmission systems.
Possible solutions could come in storing of energy, say, via batteries, pumped hydro, or even compressed air energy storage systems, which can balance intermittent source of renewable energies’ being operational on the grid. If warp grid management is not an optimal solution, microgrids theoretically could be provided, through which distribution of renewable energy could be introduced, facilitated, and expanded to support resiliency in grid operation.

Policy/Regulation Framework:
There must be policies that support the development of renewable energy technologies reinforcing these and regulating their integration to the grid.
