Possible ways of solving modern problems of national power engineering using renewable energy sources

В статті проаналізовано стан вітчизняної енергетики, її проблеми та перспективи розвитку. Обґрунтовано доцільність більш широкого застосування поновлюваних джерел енергії, зокрема гідравлічної, сонячної, вітрової та геотермальної. The purpose of this article is to analyze the status of national power engineering, with a focus on the most important issues for today, and the development of solutions to these problems by means of greater use of renewable energy sources. Promoted overview of the structure of the energy sector. Identified the key groups of problems: dependence on imported fossil and nuclear fuels; environmental problems that accompany the development of the energy sector; foreign policy and military-technical aspects. Were analyzed by way of perspective increasing the scale of renewable energy sources. It was concluded that the prospects of using hydraulic, solar, wind and geothermal energy.
