Abstract

The integration of renewable energies into electricity grids is an essential component of the global transition to sustainable, low-carbon energy systems. However, this integration faces significant challenges, such as the variability and intermittency of sources such as solar and wind, the need to modernize obsolete infrastructure, and the complexity of traditional electricity markets. To address these challenges, advanced optimization techniques have been developed based on artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistical modeling, and digital technologies such as digital twins and the Internet of Things (IoT). These tools make it possible to improve demand and generation forecasting, optimize grid operation and manage decentralized resources more efficiently. In addition, energy storage and microgrid systems play a key role in mitigating the variability of renewables and ensuring stability of supply. The analysis presented also highlights the importance of public policies, appropriate regulatory frameworks and cooperation between sectors to facilitate an effective energy transition. Overall, the successful integration of renewables requires a multidisciplinary approach that combines technological innovation, smart management strategies, investment in modern infrastructure, and coordinated energy planning at regional and national levels.
