Analysis of the Use of Renewable Energy Sources in the Republic of Serbia

One of the consequences of the growth of the world industry is the increased need for electricity. It is imperative for developed countries to use renewable sources, both due to the declining reserves of conventional fuels and the reduction of environmental pollution. The unstoppable growth in the use of alternative sources is more than evident in these countries, while less developed countries are trying to keep up with them. This paper analyzes the development of renewable energy sources in the Republic of Serbia and some surrounding countries and the USA, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, and the Netherlands in the previous decade. A comparative analysis of utilization trends in developed countries in the world is also given, as well as a brief overview of the development of devices used in the processes of the utilization of these energy sources.
