Summary/Abstract: In this work, the research of renewable energy sources was carried out, thanks to the current approaches regarding the reduction of the consumption of natural resources, the awareness that they are not inexhaustible and that any activity undertaken has an impact on the environment. The publication in 2015 of the "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", with objective number 7 "CLEAN ENERGY AND AT AFFORDABLE PRICES" and objective number 12 "RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION", led to an increase in scientific interest in renewable energy sources. The evolution of the publications was achieved by using the bibliometric analysis, using "renewable energy sources" as the key structure for the publication period 2015-2022. The case study was carried out for the Dobrogea region, which in recent years is the area with the greatest wind potential in Europe. The geographical location, the climatic conditions and the low number of inhabitants allow the installation of wind turbines. In our country, there are currently about 20 large wind farms, which have between 70 MW and 600 MW of installed power. The largest wind farm operates in the Cogealac Fântânele area in Constanţa County, belonging to the Czech group CEZ. Romania ranks in one of the last places among the European Union countries in terms of wind energy, respectively in fourth place from the end of the ranking - 0.229 KW/capita, followed by Slovenia with 0.178 KW/capita, Slovakia 0.099 KW/capita inhabitant and Latvia 0.048 KW/capita. The REPowerEU plan from March 2022 is based on two main directions in favor of the urgent transformation of the European energy system: eliminating the dependence of European Union countries on fossil fuel imports from Russia and managing the current climate crisis.
