“…Developed countries have reliable electrical infrastructures and minimal growth rates that allow them to focus on grid standardization, smart meter implementation technology development, and the interoperability of grid-connected and distributed renewable energy generation [23] . The business model for Energy 4.0 offers various advantages, but there are also several challenges that must be addressed to enable a successful transition toward a more sustainable and human-centric Energy 5.0 business model.…”

Aim: This work explores the opportunities and challenges associated with the integration of Product Service Systems (PSS) into Smart Grids (SGs) with the aim of improving manufacturing and production systems’ sustainability under the Society 5.0 framework. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted to examine the existing bibliographic material and identify the primary scientific directions for this research area. The aim was to provide a thorough understanding of the research problems and perform an in-depth analysis of the distinctive aspects of development of the scientific research in this field and visualize the results with VOS viewer tool. Results: Industry, society, and academia are being reshaped and reorganized to integrate new information and communications technology (ICT) to enable complete digitization and digitalization of their infrastructures. This trend is driven by the need for more resilient, environmentally sustainable, and human-centric systems, as indicated by the terms Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0. Electrical power generation and distribution currently are critical issues for society. In this context, SGs are examined from the perspective of product-service systems (PSSs). The key enabling technologies are discussed and a technical discussion based on presentation of implemented frameworks follows. Conclusion: Intelligent societies will become the new reality. It is necessary to adapt existing infrastructures toward human centricity, resilience, and sustainability. SGs require further development, with several challenges still to be addressed. However, engineers have several technologies available, including blockchain and PSSs, to promote client activity in societal infrastructures.

“…Therefore, the use of technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing and machine learning enables the implementation of advanced automation and process optimization scenarios [149]. Hence, as a consequence of digitalization, electrical energy systems require embedded systems, Internet of Things, computation clusters, and data analytics [151]. Secondly, and most importantly at present, IT solutions are one of the guarantors of energy security.…”

“…At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the strong interdependence of the energy and IT sectors. IT creates a context for the development of the energy sector, but it should also not be forgotten that IT is also a substantial consumer due to high energy consumption by crypto currencies and data centers, which are on the tremendous rise [151].…”

Organizational Culture as a Prerequisite for Knowledge Transfer among IT Professionals: The Case of Energy Companies

et al. 2021

The energy sector is the epitome of Industry 4.0; therefore, it should be developed in line with the Industry 4.0 implementation framework and be managed according to the guidelines dedicated to knowledge-based enterprises. Under this model of evolution, the layers surrounding the technological aspects are first, knowledge management (in particular, its transfer), and then people, and culture. This study addresses two of the three identified levels by attempting to verify the organizational culture that supports professional knowledge transfer as the leading factor in effective specialist knowledge exchange in the energy sector. Recently, this sector has become highly dependent on IT solutions as the main factor for its development and security. A key role in this respect is played by IT professionals, whose attitudes and employee behavior are critical to the stability, efficiency, effectiveness, and security of IT systems in the energy companies. The purpose of this paper is to propose a theoretical construct, based on indicated norms and values as organizational culture foundation and cultural practices. This article also aims to analyze and diagnose the components that support the professional knowledge transfer in different groups of organizational stakeholders. Systematic analysis of the scientific literature, expert evaluation, and structured questionnaires were used to develop and verify the hypotheses. The research results supported the hypotheses that organizational culture tailored to the knowledge workers’ needs and expectations, influence the effective and efficient circulation of IT expert knowledge.

“…The demand for electricity production in the last few decades has increased progressively due to the rapid growth of the industries. There is also an increasing demand for better environmental practices in the industrial ecosystem based on IT technology [1][2][3] . It is, thus, necessary to review and develop materials for power plants that will operate in the increasingly harsh environments with higher temperatures and pressures.…”

This research describes the development of new welding materials with high strength and high heat resistance for Cr-Mo-X type steels. Through thermodynamic simulation, the newly designed welding electrode had excellent mechanical properties, especially in high temperature tensile testing at 600℃ with 393.2 MPa tensile strength, 385.3 MPa yield strength and 23.5% elongation. Refinement of second phase particles were key to the success of the newly designed electrodes. Presence of M<sub>23</sub>C<sub>6</sub> is noticeable in the new electrode welds which contributed to the high temperature strength and creep properties. Compared to conventional products, it was confirmed that the amount of M23C6 precipitates, measured in area fraction, increased substantially, from 5.9 to 11.9%. Z-phase, known to degrade weld mechanical properties, was reduced through adjusting chemical composition of the experimental welds. The reduction in Z-phase precipitates improved the brittle fracture resistance.
