Abstract
Introduction. In the 21st century, the global energy industry is undergoing a transformation – a transition from an outdated model of the energy sector dominated by large producers, fossil fuels, and inefficient management systems to a new model with a competitive environment and equalization of opportunities for development. Preference is given to increasing energy efficiency and using energy from renewable sources. In this context, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) is the most important trend of recent decades, which contributes to the automation of technological processes, and the development of smart networks and innovative digital business platforms based on AI will allow not only to effectively manage energy supply and consumption modes, but also significantly affect strategic priorities, since certain technologies lead to changes in the conditions and principles of functioning not only of certain energy systems, but also of socio-cultural aspects of energy consumption. On the other hand, the global practice of using AI technologies, which contribute to the decentralization of the energy supply system and increasing the flexibility of responding to consumer needs, significantly affects the functioning of existing centralized energy supply systems. For Ukrainian energy companies in the conditions of a full-scale war, this circumstance is a serious challenge and will require the adoption of strategic decisions regarding the priorities of the country’s energy development. The full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation against Ukraine destroyed the process of gradual modernization of Ukraine’s energy enterprises. However, overcoming the consequences of the armed invasion and radical changes in the energy sector of Ukraine can become a factor in the transformation of the entire energy sector of the country.
Purpose and method of investigation. The purpose of the study is to determine the main directions of implementation of artificial intelligence technologies at energy enterprises of Ukraine based on the analysis of trends in the world energy sector and taking into account the attacks and destruction of energy infrastructure during a full-scale war. Achieving the goal involves solving the following research tasks: first, to characterize the potential and directions of application of AI in energy; secondly, to analyze the international and Ukrainian practice of implementing AI technologies in the activities of energy companies; thirdly, with the help of the SWOT analysis method, determine the areas of use of artificial intelligence technologies for Ukrainian energy enterprises.
General and special methods of scientific knowledge were used during the research. Among the general methods of research, the methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, induction and deduction, comparison were used to study the specifics of the introduction of artificial intelligence in energy. Among the special scientific methods of research, the SWOT analysis method was used, which made it possible to determine the areas of application of artificial intelligence and optimal strategies in the conditions of a full-scale invasion.
Investigation Results. The potential and directions of application of artificial intelligence in the energy sector.
