Review of Exploring the Virtual and Augmented Reality Application in Renewable Energy

Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) technologies are making a significant impact across various industries, including renewable energy (RE), by offering immersive and interactive learning experiences. This review paper addresses the gap in interactive and immersive educational tools for RE, exploring the potential of VR and AR to enhance learning and understanding of RE technologies such as solar and wind. The objective of the paper is to evaluate the integration of VR and AR in RE sector, providing a comprehensive analysis of their effectiveness in fostering engagement and improving comprehension of complex RE concepts. Using a broad analysis of existing literature and case studies, the paper examines both the benefits and challenges associated with implementing these technologies in the RE sector. Key findings include the potential of VR and AR to significantly improve user engagement and knowledge retention in RE education, while also identifying barriers such as high implementation costs and the user experiences. This review highlights the promising role of VR and AR in advancing the adoption and development of sustainable energy solutions.
