Accelerarea politicilor și a planurilor de digitalizare a domeniului energetic în contextul pandemiei COVID-19
IoT, energy efficiency, Smart Technologies, digitisation of the energy system
This year the evolution of the strategy and plans implementation in order to combat climatechange through energy efficiency measures has been confronted with a new challenge, namely the impact ofthe COVID-19 pandemic in all areas of life. At a time when the expansion of IoT use through platforms tomonitor, scale and optimise processes specific to urban agglomerations and industrial centres, the digitisationof the energy sector has acquired a new dimension and a central place in the sphere of priorities for thecoagulation of the financial efforts. The article presents the status of the implementation of this objectiveprior to the pandemic period, the new conditions and priorities imposed on the basis of changes in electricityconsumption and the opportunities for the development of IoT-based systems for the energy sector. Atpresent, some of the major challenges to be addressed to smart technologies are: accelerating the pace ofdeployment, achieving the mix of energy from traditional and renewable sources, securing energy systemsand networks in order to resist in the situation of potential variable energy flows or cyber attacks.
