Federated Environment for Forecasting Modeling of Ukraine's Energy Sector

T.V. Puchko

Èlektron. model. 2026, 48(3):95-110

ABSTRACT

A concept of a federated environment for modeling strategic and scenario planning tasks for the development of Ukraine's energy sector is proposed. The problems of coordinating model forecasts between stakeholders are analyzed. Based on a comparison of existing energy modeling systems, the limited applicability of monolithic modeling architectures for national coordination of efforts to plan the development of the energy sector is demonstrated. An architecture for federated energy modeling based on integrated resource registries, standardized web interfaces for application programming, and trust and cybersecurity models, which allows the efforts of government agencies, operators, and scientific institutions to be combined into a single energy modeling space without losing control over the integrity of localized data. Prospects for further research in the direction of developing unified ontologies, adapting distributed optimization methods, and establishing principles of interaction between participants in the energy modeling environment have been identified. The implementation of the proposed concept will contribute to the transparency of planning, the attraction of international investment, the strengthening of energy security by reducing dependence on closed commercial platforms, and the creation of conditions for attracting national scientific potential.
