        abstract = {Electricity underpins the functioning of modern societies, driving residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. Historically, the predominant reliance on fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—has ensured reliable power generation but at the cost of finite resource depletion and significant greenhouse gas emissions, thereby exacerbating global climate change. The imperative to mitigate these environmental impacts, supported by advances in technology and decreasing costs, has accelerated the adoption of renewable energy sources (RES), including solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal energy. Despite their environmental and sustainability advantages, the inherent intermittency and variability of RES introduce substantial challenges to their seamless integration into conventional power grids. Addressing these challenges necessitates the deployment of advanced enabling technologies such as large-scale energy storage systems, smart grid infrastructure, hybrid generation models, and demand-response mechanisms. This study systematically examines the characteristics and grid-integration challenges of major RES, evaluates their socio-economic and environmental benefits, and analyzes global policy frameworks and case studies from leading nations. The findings aim to inform strategic approaches for enhancing grid reliability, optimizing resource utilization, and facilitating an equitable transition toward low-carbon, resilient energy systems.},
