126 sources, the most common are hydropower (approximately 2.7%) and other RES, in particular solar and wind energy, which together account for approximately 5.6%. Despite the gradual increase in their share, the current level remains insufficient to significantly reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels [8]. The situation in electricity generation also demonstrates a substantial dependence on fossil fuels, which account for the majority of global electricity production. This highlights the urgent need to diversify energy sources and to implement more sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies. Given the limited reserves of fossil resources and their negative impact on the environment, the development of renewable energy sources has become critically important for ensuring energy security and sustainable development. In critical situations such as wars, natural disasters, and other emergencies, dependence on centralized fossil fuel energy sources becomes particularly vulnerable. Damage to fuel transportation and production infrastructure leads to significant disruptions in supply of energy resources, which negatively affects the stability of energy supply to the population and key sectors of the economy. Under such conditions, the demand for autonomous, decentralized energy supply systems capable of operating independently of centralized grids is increasing. Renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power, as well as microgrids based on them, can ensure quick restoration and maintenance of electricity supply even in difficult crisis conditions. They contribute to reducing dependence on fuel imports and significantly increase regional energy resilience. It is especially important that renewables can be quickly deployed in conflict zones or after natural disasters, making them a key element of a modern energy security strategy. Fossil energy sources extracted from the Earth's interior have long been the backbone of global energy. However, dependence on them generates significant geopolitical and economic challenges, often leading to growing inequality between exporting and consuming countries. This situation creates a kind of "energy
