Technological Sovereignty as a Current Energy Security Challenge. Preliminary analysis

The relevance of this work is determined by the importance of energy security, which consists not only in reducing dependence on fossil fuels, but also in avoiding dependence on advanced technologies. The development of artificial intelligence, which requires significant energy and technological resources, is shifting the focus of competition from energy security to technological sovereignty. The aim of this study was to identify suitable tools for analyzing abstracts text obtained from a large volume of bibliometric records. It focused on the preliminary assessment of current topics in the energy sector with the aim of effectively analyzing trends in technological sovereignty issues. Data. In this paper 10 thousand bibliometric records for the year 2024, sorted by relevance and exported from the open abstract database Sciliton the query: “energy AND technology”. Filters were applied on the “Subject” category most related to technology: Power Systems & Electric Vehicles, Energy Systems & Technologies, Electrical Energy Management, and Nuclear Technology & Instrumentation. Results. The main topic of the analyzed bibliometric data was renewable energy. Based on keywords, twelve clusters were identified, three of which — hydrogen, thermal energy storage, and greenhouse gas emissions — are of greatest interest. These clusters reflect keywords derived from both Yake! and PatternRank. The Yake! program outperforms PatternRank in terms of run time and representation of found keywords in abstract texts. The feasibility of using AnyAscii for text preprocessing is demonstrated. Conclusions. The study showed that it is necessary to expand data sources for a more comprehensive analysis of the issue under consideration, for example, using OnePetro for topics related to oil and gas, IEEE Xplore for energy systems issues, and Semantic Scholar for assessing the role of AI in the energy sector.
