APPROACHES TO INTENSIFICATION SMART GRIDS’ IMPLEMENTATION

Анотація

Smart energy is an evolutionary stage in developing the economy's energy sector. The existing energy infrastructure of many countries worldwide is based on outdated technologies and principles of energy generation. The availability of advanced technologies capable of producing and distributing energy more efficiently was to guarantee the rapid development of the industry. However, the experience of implementing energy projects and the difficulties with which the modernization of the energy sector is taking place show significant organizational and financial problems that hinder investment in the industry. This is true for both public and private investment in large-scale energy projects and relatively small investments in local projects, including household investments. Today, there is a clear need to develop approaches that will make the latest energy-efficient technologies, particularly electricity, which is associated with smart grids, available to a wide range of consumers. We are talking about creating financial mechanisms and business models that will turn investments into smart energy grids, regardless of their size, into projects with a short payback period and high profitability. Objective technical and technological factors hamper this, but at the same time, it is clear that the available opportunities for the commercialization and dissemination of new energy technologies are not used enough. The article analyzes the current state of development of the energy sector and prospects for applying the latest highly efficient innovative energy technologies. The organizational and economic aspects of the spread of energy innovations belong to the field of smart energy, which is considered broader than usual in the scientific literature. Although the article does not offer clearly defined mechanisms for energy innovation transfer, the analytical work can be helpful for researchers in the field to develop their ideas to find ways to improve domestic and global energy in accordance with existing socio-economic and political challenges.
