Digitization as a Modern Challenge for the Energy Systems’ Transformation in the World
摘要
At the current stage of development of the energy sector, digitalization plays a decisive role in the transformation of energy systems in the countries of the world. Digital transformation of the energy sector means that the development strategy of enterprises will be built around innovative technologies and systems of decentralized energy generation. The main task of digital transformation is to change approaches and transition energy enterprises to management through the introduction of digital technologies and the analysis of a large array of data. In the future, the digital transformation of the energy industry will allow companies to increase their profits by 3–4% per year due to the analysis of available data, the automation of business processes and the local implementation of digital solutions at critical energy infrastructure facilities. Therefore, this study is devoted to the analysis of the relationship between the development of energy systems and the processes of digital transformation using bibliometric and trend approaches. The purpose of the work is to determine the main directions of scientific research, to evaluate the dynamics of publishing activity, to determine the main trends and gaps in this area. The research includes bibliometric analysis of the base of scientific publications to identify the most cited works and authors, as well as trend analysis to identify changes in research topics. The article provides a rating assessment of the development of energy systems in the era of digitalization on the example of some countries of the world. The strategic directions of the digital transformation of energy systems in the countries of the world have been determined. The results of the study will allow obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the current state and prospects for the development of research in the field of development of energy systems in the era of digitalization, which can contribute to the formation of more effective energy policies and the development of strategies for digital energy ecosystems in different countries of the world.
