Energy is an indispensable factor for the economic growth and development of a country. Energy consumption is rapidly increasing worldwide. To fulfill this energy demand, alternative energy sources and efficient utilization are being explored. Various sources of renewable energy and their efficient utilization are comprehensively reviewed and presented in this paper. Also the trend in research and development for the technological advancement of energy utilization and smart grid system for future energy security is presented. Results show that renewable energy resources are becoming more prevalent as more electricity generation becomes necessary and could provide half of the total energy demands by 2050. To satisfy the future energy demand, the smart grid system can be used as an efficient system for energy security. The smart grid also delivers significant environmental benefits by conservation and renewable generation integration.
能源是一个国家经济增长和发展不可或缺的因素。全球能源消耗正在迅速增加。为满足这一能源需求，人们正在探索替代能源和高效利用方式。本文全面综述并介绍了各种可再生能源及其高效利用方式。同时还介绍了能源利用技术进步和未来能源安全智能电网系统的研发趋势。结果表明，随着发电需求的增加，可再生能源资源正变得越来越普遍，到2050年可再生能源可能满足一半的总能源需求。为满足未来能源需求，智能电网系统可作为保障能源安全的高效系统。智能电网还通过节能和可再生能源发电整合带来显著的环境效益。
