Managing knowledge assets for the development of the renewable energy industry

Abstract

While the world is increasingly concerned with the utilization of fossil energy and carbon emission, renewable energies have been promoted by many governments as alternatives worldwide. Currently, many databases provide big energy data such as international crude oil prices, coal prices, etc., but lack systematic analysis. To increase the use of the data, we propose GEIP (Green Energy Information Platform) using data retrieval techniques to develop a knowledge management platform which can integrate inconsistent information and analyze the development of renewable energy industries. GEIP provides an easy-to-use interface as well as a comprehensive query function from multiple data sources. In addition, the proposed platform can also simultaneously consider distinct factors influencing the development trends of renewable energies, when the development of the renewable energy industry is actually determined by multiple related factors. The result demonstrates our system well project to the development trends of wind power and solar PV in several countries.
