Big Data in Smart Energy Systems: A Critical Review
Abstract
Climate change is an undeniable fact. Considering that two-thirds of greenhouse gas emissions originate from the energy sector, it is expected that the world's energy system will be transformed with renewable energy sources. Energy efficiency will be continuously increased. Reducing energy-related carbon dioxide emissions is the heart of the energy transition. Big data in energy systems play a crucial role in evaluating the adaptive capacity and investing more smartly to manage energy demand and supply. Indeed, the impact of the smart energy grid and meters on smart energy systems provide and assist decision-makers in transforming energy production, consumption, and communities. This study reviews the literature for aligning big data and smart energy systems and criticized according to regional perspective, period, disciplines, big data characteristics, and used data analytics. The critical review has been categorized into present themes. The results address issues, including scientific studies using data analysis techniques that take into account the characteristics of big data in the smart energy literature and the future of smart energy approaches. The manuscripts on big data in smart energy systems are a promising issue, albeit it is essential to expand subjects through comprehensive interdisciplinary studies
