Exploring the Energy Metaverse: Potential Benefits and Challenges

Abstract

Technology advancements have a huge impact on conventional methods and practices, which causes the energy sector to undergo significant change. The digitalization of energy systems is what will undoubtedly shape the energy sector's future. The Metaverse may be the next phase of digitalization that will make the energy sector vastly different from what it does now, by providing exceptional chances to reorganize workflows, increase productivity, and reduce costs. Although the use of the Metaverse in the energy sector is still in its early stages, the popularity of the Energy Metaverse is rising as a result of its numerous advantages. Nevertheless, a number of challenges must be carefully considered for Metaverse to be widely adopted in the energy sector. This paper aims to provide a thorough overview of the Energy Metaverse in order to stimulate further research and hasten the adoption of this ground-breaking idea in the energy sector, which is currently lacking in research studies.
