The increasing frequency of climate-induced disruptions and the global demand for sustainable power systems have intensified the need for resilient and renewable energy infrastructures. This study investigates the engineering pathways for integrating renewable energy into power systems to enhance climate resilience and sustainability. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data from surveys of 60 professionals including engineers, energy developers, and policymakers with qualitative insights from expert interviews and institutional document reviews.
Findings reveal that renewable energy integration is advancing globally but remains uneven, particularly in developing regions where grid instability, energy storage limitations, and inadequate smart grid infrastructure pose significant challenges. The study identifies engineering innovations such as smart grids, decentralized microgrids, and digital twin modeling as critical solutions for improving reliability and adaptability. Furthermore, effective policy frameworks, institutional coordination, and continuous capacity building are essential to support technical implementation and sustainability.
The study concludes that engineering innovation, when combined with policy alignment and technological investment, can significantly enhance the resilience of energy systems against climate variability. It recommends the deployment of adaptive grid systems, expansion of energy storage capacity, and promotion of research and development in renewable energy engineering. By linking engineering practice with sustainability policy, this research contributes to the broader discourse on achieving sustainable, intelligent, and climate-resilient power infrastructure in the 21st century.
