Abstract : The increasing global demand for energy driven by population growth necessitates a shift towards renewable energy sources to address sustainability and environmental concerns. Renewable energy sources and how they function in tandem with electrical equipment to generate power are covered extensively in this study. Renewable sources like solar-thermal, hydro, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, and biomass-thermal utilize electric machines to convert various forms of stored energy into electricity. The paper classifies these machines based on their design and application in renewable systems, highlighting the most common types, including DC, induction, and synchronous machines. It also evaluates their performance according to efficiency, power density, and cost-effectiveness. A primary focus is on the challenges associated with controlling electrical machines in renewable energy systems, including issues related to intermittency, grid integration, nonlinear dynamics, fault tolerance, harmonics, efficiency optimization, thermal management, scalability, real-time control, and cost constraints. The paper concludes by discussing the need for advanced control strategies and solutions to address these challenges, aiming to enhance a reliability, efficiency, and performance of renewable energy systems.
