Experience in the use of intelligent systems and digital technologies in the energy sector of emerging economies

Abstract

The energy sector of developing countries faces a large number of modern challenges that contribute to the formation of a new stage of its development as the most important infrastructure of the economy. On the one hand, powerful technological and digital progresses have led to the active development of distributed energy technologies. On the other hand, the development of a competitive environment in the wholesale and retail market, together with the growing differentiation of consumer requirements for reliability, quality and cost of energy supply, change the ideology of interaction with the consumer, who becomes an active participant in technological and commercial interactions. Thirdly, technological development in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) has created an opportunity for the development and implementation of digital technologies. They increase the efficiency of analysis and forecasting of situations in the energy sector, and decisionmaking based on the processing of large arrays and data flows, which allows in practice to move to flexible management of the
