Abstract

One of the trends in global energy development in recent years has been the rapid growth of renewable energy sources, driven by new technologies. Large hydro power plants can be considered as traditional renewable energy sources. Among the new technologies, solar, wind, biomass and geothermal power generation have taken the lead. This paper is devoted to a comparative analysis of existing types of renewable energy sources in order to identify the most promising ones to ensure the implementation of the Doctrine of the Energy Security of the Russian Federation as a further development of the economy, taking into account global trends.
