ENERGY SYSTEMS
Abstract
This research has focused on the impact of integrating renewable energy technologies with
conventional energy systems to improve sustainability of energy supply systems. The problems
faced due to the consumption of renewable energy have been discussed in the study. The aim of
the research is to identify the challenges faced in integration of renewable energy technologies in
conventional technologies for improving electricity distribution.
The literature review has focused on concept of renewable energy technologies. Challenges in
current electricity distributed systems have been discussed in the study. The use of several
factors affecting integration of renewable energy technologies in the conventional resources have
been discussed in the research.
Data has been collected from secondary sources incud9ng online journals and books. The
descriptive research design has been used in this study. Data has been analyzed using qualitative
data analysis method. Themes have been created related to the renewable energy technologies
that help in thematic analysis of the data and information collected.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Background
The global abundance of the renewable energy resources has been increasing all over the
world. The use of conventional energy resources has been creating problems in the sustainable
development of the society. Conventional energy resources has been used for the generation of
power supply in the society (Mathiesen et al. 2015). As per the survey, renewable energy
capacity in 2000 has been estimated to be 102 GW. However, in last decade, there has been huge
increase in the electricity in the society. Government have intervened for promoting use of
renewable energy in the industry for generation of electricity and power.
This research study focuses on integration of renewable energy with the conventional energy
for improving the supply of electricity. Various challenges in the integration will be discussed in
the study. The study will help in mitigating these issues in integration of renewable energy with
conventional energy.
1.2 Rationale
The integration of renewable energy in electricity distribution system has been creating
various problems. The technical frameworks for the production and distribution of electricity in
various places (Ghaffour et al. 2015). The market liberalization have created problems in
maintaining opportunities for small and medium-sized renewable energy resources.
In the recent years, the increase in the consumption of energy resources have been creating
problem for sustainable development of society. The emission of carbon particles due to the
burning of coal for generation of energy has been responsible for increase in the global warning
(Ellabban, Abu-Rub and Blaabjerg 2014).
