STUDY OF INFLUENCING FACTORS ON THE INTENSITY OF DIFFUSION OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

Abstract

The energy sector is one of the most important components of the development of business and the economy as a whole, both in Ukraine and in the world. This is precisely what determines the importance of analysis of the successful experience of Ukraine and other countries in the field of applying innovations in the energy sector and the need to implement innovations in the energy sector in modern conditions. This involves the effective use of the available potential of all alternative energy sources, a fundamental analysis of innovative processes, in particular in the energy sector. Identification and systematization of factors influencing the development and commercialization of innovative technologies in the energy sector is an important prerequisite for the development and implementation of innovative economic and energy strategies. The activation of the development and implementation of innovative projects in the field of energy at enterprises will have a positive impact not only on increasing the competitiveness of Ukrainian enterprises, but also will improve the indicators of the quality of life and well-being in the country, which will ultimately allow building a socially-oriented economic system in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to identify and systematize factors influencing the intensity of the spread of innovative technologies in the energy sector of the economy. A system approach, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, concretization), as well as retrospective analysis, structural analysis, comparative analysis, factor and trend analysis of the application of innovations in the energy industry have been used in the research process. The results of the study are the systematization of factors influencing the intensity of the diffusion of innovative technologies in the energy sector, the identification of the main problems of the introduction of innovations and the problems of innovative management at domestic enterprises. Prospective directions for further research are the use of factor analysis methods and other methods to identify and measure the relationship and its nature between companies in the energy sector and key factors of the intensity of the spread of innovative technologies in Ukraine and the world. The results of the research can be implemented in the work practice of enterprises in the energy sector. The results of the research also have social significance, since ensuring the success of the energy sector enterprises solves the problem of ensuring the need for energy consumption, environmental problems, etc.
