Effect of renewable energy on energy security

There are plenty of studies assume that renewable energy sources diminish the number of security problems and relevant energy threats. Many approaches support the idea that renewable energy sources provide long-term energy security, activate sustainable growth, and mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. It could be said that increasing percentage of renewable energy within energy generation is likely to be antidote to some concerns on security, but allocating that it can eliminate all the security problems will not reflect truth. Besides, there are new possible threats produced by renewable energy systems. This study attempts to make an analysis of energy security with regard to renewable energy affection. Today, the usage rates of renewable energy is still low and it has not been realized its anticipated leap yet. In years to come, however, it expected that the rates in question will rise, and the positive impact of renewable energy systems on a decrease in the number of struggles about fossil fuels could be possible. Even so, the new conflict areas due to renewable energy systems need to be taken into account. The conventional disadvantages of non-renewable energy sources such as price instability and natural disasters is reflected upon renewable energy systems in various and different ways. In this sense, the concept of energy security (securitization) needs to be evaluated in a twofold approach: Firstly, what are the responses of renewable energy systems to the non-renewable energy sources? Secondly, whether the technological, geographical and sustainable advantages embedded in renewable energy systems are likely to cause new possible security threats or not in the future?
