The impact of industry 4.0 on modelling energy scenarios of the developing economies

Abstract

At the current stage, developed economies are able to implement measures to improve energy efficiency. At the same time, the developing economies mostly focus on rapid development, which implies a rapid increase in energy demand. The introduction of innovative technologies should meet the energy needs of economies while simultaneously improving energy efficiency. In particular, this applies to increasing renewable energy consumption. The development of this sector can be accelerated through the introduction of Industry 4.0. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of Industry 4.0 on modelling energy scenarios of developing economies. The research involved methods of analysis and synthesis, economic and statistical analysis, graphical methods, and the comparison. The study revealed a high impact of Industry 4.0 on the Ukrainian economy, in particular energy sector. Among other things, an improved energy efficiency is the result of such impact. It was determined that renewable energy consumption in Ukraine increased significantly by 11.5 times during the studied period. The differences in the energy development of Ukraine and China are outlined: China has chosen energy independence. It was concluded that the development and implementation of the latest technologies play a significant role in energy scenarios. The timing of achieving the goals are the main difference in energy scenarios between developed countries and developing countries. The prospect of further research should be the determining means of measuring the impact of uncertainty on the energy modelling.

Innovative Models of Green Entrepreneurship: Social Impact on Sustainable Development of Local Economies

“…Sustainable enterprises can strategically influence ethical and moral symbols that empower objectives and may focus on social justice and environmental protection, taking an example from (Tymoshenko et al, 2023). This is the road for some people to find place in the business through the opportunity to make choices that can be varied and meaningful from views, values, and ideological beliefs that should tie with views, values, and ideological constructs.…”

Impacts of Renewable Energy on Ukraine’s Energy Sustainability

“…The cost of integration is estimated at UAH 11 billion, but the annual economic effect of synchronization could reach UAH 40 billion. Interestingly, even before the invasion, 96% of Ukraine's power systems were technically connected to the occupying countries and Moldova, while only 4% were synchronized with European countries (TYMOSHENKO et al, 2023).…”

“…In addition, the opportunities for exporting Ukrainian and importing foreign electricity are improving, as are the opportunities for attracting foreign investors. One of the positive effects of this integration is the development of renewable energy sources through special programmers (TYMOSHENKO et al, 2023).…”

Improving the Feed-in Tariff Policy for Renewable Energy Promotion in Ukraine’s Households

“…Many research papers are dedicated to RE development, including investment issues [18][19][20][21][22], the identification of drivers and barriers for the effective deployment of RE facilities [23][24][25], the evaluation of economic, environmental, social, and other benefits from RE project implementation, etc. [26][27][28]. Two main research blocks can be distinguished when adopting RE in the residential sector.…”
