Innovation and Management of Smart Transformation Global Energy Sector: Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The acceleration of globalisation processes and increasing countries’ energy interdependence are required to ensure national energy security and independence. That demands investigating and developing processes and approaches for sustainable transformation of the global energy sector. The article aims to perform a complex review and investigation of the academic environment to analyse the trends and features of scientific publications devoted to new trends and tendencies in the smart energy industry transformation. To provide a categorical and theoretical background on the key scientific publications’ trends, the paper conducted a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications about smart energy management and sustainable energy sector. The subject of investigation is publications on smart energy management and the sustainable energy sector. The article represented the results of bibliometric analysis using the Scopus tools analytics and VOSViewer tools. The investigation answered the central question of the key academic and research tendencies in the smart energy development and sustainable transformation field. Thus, qualitative, and quantitative trends describe the academic tendencies to spread smart and sustainable technologies in the energy industry. Using the Scopus scientometric database, a system of more than 5000 academic texts in the determined area was created from 2001 to 2022. Such countries as India, China, the USA, the UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, South Korea, France represent the analysed scientific area. Describing the key trends and clusters has allowed understanding and systemised the dominant trends in the development of scientific publications in the field of management of sustainable development processes, spreading the IOT processes, and renewable energy.

Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, and Methane: What Types of Greenhouse Gases Are Most Affected by Green Investments and Renewable Energy Development?

“…The issue of the relationship between green investments and green energy is quite relevant in the scientific community. Scientists use various economic and mathematical methods and models to investigate this connection, such as the Markov switching regression model [38], bibliometric analysis [39], and panel regression models [40,41]. Research shows that green bonds, as one of the instruments of green investments, are an effective method for promoting projects related to renewable energy sources and aimed at reducing CO 2 emissions in the long term [42,43].…”

Sustainability in Energy Maintenance: A Global Review of Policies and Technologies for Sustainable Energy Infrastructure Management

“…The global pursuit of sustainability is underscored by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a comprehensive framework aimed at addressing pressing global challenges (Chygryn et al, 2023). Among the SDGs, Goal 7 specifically targets affordable and clean energy access, emphasizing the pivotal role of energy in achieving a sustainable future (United Nations, 2015).…”

“…Among the SDGs, Goal 7 specifically targets affordable and clean energy access, emphasizing the pivotal role of energy in achieving a sustainable future (United Nations, 2015). This section delves into the interconnection between sustainable development and energy, discussing how Goal 7 serves as a catalyst for transforming the energy sector (Chygryn et al, 2023). By examining the linkage between energy access, resource efficiency, and environmental stewardship, this section highlights the urgency of aligning energy maintenance practices with the SDGs for a more sustainable world (Chygryn et al, 2023).…”

The Impact of Digital Business on Energy Efficiency in EU Countries

“…Digital business continues to expand across industries, and it becomes crucial to examine its implications for energy efficiency and sustainability [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Digital business encompasses a wide range of activities, including e-commerce, cloud computing, data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and smart city initiatives, among others [7][8][9][10]. These technologies and business models have the potential to transform traditional energy systems [11][12][13], providing new avenues for energy management, resource optimization [14][15][16][17], and environmental stewardship [18][19][20][21][22].…”
