Green energy: Problems of environmental protection

Abstract

Nowadays, the assurance of energy security of our country is an important scientific and practical task for state electricity supply companies and enterprises which are directly related to the fuel and energy complex of Ukraine (electricity sector). Solving this issue is related to the formation of a reliable network of alternative generation complexes and requires a preliminary analysis, research, improvement of the of integration tools (connections) of wind, solar, bio, hydropower plants with industrial networks in the infrastructure of Ukraine. In addition to the improvement of the technical part of integrated complexes according to the structure "alternative generation source – conversion station – industrial electric network", the ecological aspects of "green energy" are relevant. Namely, the impact on the external ecological environment of such complexes or their positive contribution to the reduction of negative impact on the environment from traditional electricity generation. The paper deals with the dynamics of the development of renewable energy sources (RES) in Ukraine, including the volumes of "green energy" and "harmful energy" production. An analysis of the relevant regulatory documents and the current state of the RES implementation in Ukraine during 2015-2021 has been carried out. A special attention is paid to the study of the indicators of the limit volumes of emissions of pollutants in the process of electricity production. The issue of using energy-saving technologies in the context of ensuring the economic security of Ukraine is considered
