Due to the expansion of distributed renewable energy resources, peer to peer energy trading (P2P DET) is expected to be one of the key elements of next generation power systems. P2P DET can provide various benefits such as creating a competitive energy market, reducing power outages, increasing overall efficiency of power systems and supplementing alternative sources of energy according to user preferences. Because of these promising advantages, P2P DET has attracted the attention of several researchers. Current research related to P2P DET include demand response optimization, power routing, network communication, security and privacy. This paper presents a review of the main research topics revolving around P2P DET. Particularly, we present a comprehensive survey of existing demand response optimization models, power routing devices and power routing algorithms. We also identify some key challenges faced in realizing P2P DET. Furthermore, we discuss state of the art enabling technologies such as Energy Internet, Blockchain and Software Defined Networking (SDN) and we provide insights into future research directions.

The development of global and regional energy markets is one of the most important problems of the current state of global economic relations and is one of the highest-priority areas in the formation of national and regional strategies for the socio-economic development of any country. The role of energy supply is focused on monitoring and compliance with standards. However, in recent years, the importance of energy supply to the housing stock has increased significantly, which has led to an expansion of the role of management within the framework of the risk management function. Kazakhstan has a Unified electric power system, which is represented by a set of power stations, transmission lines, and substations that provide reliable and high-quality energy supply to consumers. Currently, the main task within the framework of the priority of the development of Kazakhstan’s energy sector is to build up the energy base and provide the growing needs of the population and the economy with the necessary energy resources based on the development of modern energy complexes and alternative energy sources in conjunction with the implemented and planned macroprojects. Since the current economic development of Kazakhstan is closely interrelated with the realization of energy resources and their effective use, it acts as one of the fundamental levers for the development of the national economy. According to our research goal, it is necessary to consider sustainable energy supply in the country based on the analysis and assessment of energy consumption volumes and the impact of the country’s regional and sectoral policies on their use. The author’s approach to the distribution of countries by MNC has been developed and estimates of regression parameters, correlation coefficients, and elasticity coefficients. When constructing the author’s approach, the countries of Europe and Central Asia were studied and a sample of estimates was carried out, which has statistically significant effects on the formation of energy consumption volumes in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Oil-dependent countries face persistent challenges, such as energy supply–demand imbalances, overreliance on fossil fuels, declining economic diversification, and environmental degradation. In response, policymakers are increasingly advocating for comprehensive energy transitions to enhance energy and environmental security while promoting sustainable development. This study evaluates Iran’s energy transition through the modeling of five scenarios using the EnergyPLAN software V16.3. These scenarios, ranging from increased fossil fuel production to renewable energy deployment, subsidy reform, and energy efficiency, were developed based on a systematic literature review and expert interviews. Key indicators such as carbon emissions, primary energy demand, and supply–demand balance were used to assess the long-term impacts of each scenario through 2040. The Transition Scenario Policy (TSP), which integrates elements of all other scenarios, emerged as the most effective pathway for reducing emissions, correcting supply–demand imbalances, and aligning with sustainable development goals. The novelty of this study lies in its mixed-method approach, combining qualitative stakeholder insights with quantitative modeling, offering a replicable framework for energy transition planning in similar oil-dependent contexts. The practical implications support evidence-based policy making, while the results open avenues for future research on adaptive energy governance, policy trade-offs, and resilience under global uncertainty.

Background Approximately 90% of the global human population have access to a supply of electrical energy. Existing national electrical energy supply systems possess good technical availability but with significant system-inherent risks. The latter show their effects in the systems’ operational behaviour, their impact on the national economy and on the global climate. National electrical energy supply systems in their current state can therefore not be considered sustainable. This invites the question, “can there be a national electrical energy supply system that is simultaneously technologically, economically and environmentally sustainable?”. Main text The contents of this article are of a fundamental nature. They start from a newly established axiomatic system for multiple-sustainable electric energy systems. The axioms contain no dependencies on individual users, nation states or technologies. For the transition into a sustainable energy system, core challenges faced by existing systems are synthesized, the fulfillment of which determines the feasibility of future systems. We state that anthropogenically generated electrical energy is a product possessing a cultural-technical significance. In this article, the possibilities arising from the physical fundamentals are considered. In addition, a new control system is developed that integrates user impact, quality assurance and cost developments in order to show a means to multiple-sustainable energy supply systems. An essential component of the control system is a unified view of energy production and energy transport. This also includes a transition from the previous, technology-dominated energy supply system into a new system for which the relevant social concerns are primary. One axiom deals with the economic concerns of management organizations of national electrical energy systems. At first, only the monetary working hypothesis is formulated, whereby organizations within the energy economy must be decoupled from basic business principles. Detailed discussions will be dealt with in a further article. Conclusions Through the transition from a technology-defined to a user-defined electrical energy supply system, the system-immanent risks in the operational behaviour, the national economy and the climate can be avoided simultaneously in an ideal complementary combination. Building upon the physical solution space, the quality-assured control process, which contains a systematic cost-reversal and a central focus upon the cultural-technical product of electrical energy, ensures such a transition is achievable by means of fulfillment of the core challenges. For these fundamental statements, which refer to the transformation into a future system, detailed explanations of organizational units are not yet necessary since they are not subject to any natural-scientific restrictions. However, they are essential for the post-transformation process.

Existing studies were centered on the factors that could mitigate the environmental degradation, but few of them were focused on finding radical solutions by examining the nexus between human and institutional capacities and green energy supply. The use of clean energy can be an alternative for this purpose that can improve the quality of the environment. This study aims to examine the role assigned to human and institutional capacities in order to boost the renewable energy sector on the supply side in the long-term, basing on the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS). Moreover, the study applies panel threshold regression to 21 natural resource–rich countries that are most exposed to the challenges of switching to renewable energy. So, the objective of the present study is to investigate the effects of the human facet and the different governance mechanisms on the renewable energy supply while examining whether these impacts are conditioned by the threshold of a human capital index. Results based on panel threshold regression revealed that the effects of human capital and governance on renewable energy supply differ substantially depending on the human capital index and governance mechanisms. Indeed, human capital exerts negative effects on renewable energy supply for countries when the human capital index is above the threshold value. High and upper middle-income countries benefit more from human capital for the renewable energy production compared to low and lower-income countries in the long-term. Our results also disclosed that the governance mechanisms relating to the voice and accountability exert positive effects on renewable energy supply regardless the human capital threshold level and also for low and lower-middle-income countries in the long term. The control of corruption is beneficial in reinforcing renewable energy supply only in the case of high upper middle-income countries. Therefore, the results of this research emphasized the importance of human capital and good governance practices as levers for the transition to the era of renewable energy and can lead to several recommendations for policy makers.
