Abstract:
At the current stage, developed economies are able to implement measures to improve
energy efficiency. At the same time, developing economies mostly focus on rapid development,
which implies a rapid increase in energy demand. The introduction of innovative
technologies should meet the energy needs of economies while simultaneously
improving energy efficiency. In particular, this applies to increasing renewable energy
consumption. The development of this sector can be accelerated through the introduction
of Industry 4.0. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of Industry 4.0 on
modelling energy scenarios of developing economies. The research involved methods
of analysis and synthesis, economic and statistical analysis, graphical methods, and
comparison. The study revealed a high impact of Industry 4.0 on the Ukrainian economy,
in the particular energy sector. Among other things, improved energy efficiency is
the result of such an impact. It was determined that renewable energy consumption in
Ukraine increased significantly by 11.5 times during the studied period. The differences
in the energy development of Ukraine and China are outlined: China has chosen energy
independence. It was concluded that the development and implementation of the latest
technologies play a significant role in energy scenarios. The timing of achieving the
goals is the main difference in energy scenarios between developed countries and developing
countries. The prospect of further research should be the determining means
of measuring the impact of uncertainty on energy modelling.
