Abstract
Common sources of electricity production, such as fossil fuels, create a large amount of pollution; furthermore, these sources will run out in the future. Therefore, the use of new sources and renewable energies are very vital for electricity production. This paper provides a comprehensive study to explore and analyze new and renewable electrical energy sources for the production of electricity. The study assesses the awareness, perceptions, and preferences of individuals regarding innovative technologies and sources that have the potential to reshape the landscape of electrical power generation. In this research, various types of novel and renewable sources for electricity production are explained and the challenges, advantages, and disadvantages of each of these methods are discussed.
