Indexed incrossrefdoaj

Abstract

Energy decentralization signifies a fundamental shift in energy production and governance from conventional, centralized systems towards distributed, localized, and end-user-centric paradigms. This transition is of paramount importance for advancing energy efficiency and bolstering energy security. Employing bibliometric analysis and literature review methodologies, we utilize CiteSpace to delineate the intellectual landscape, research hotspots, and evolutionary trends within the energy decentralization literature from 2008 to 2024, based on the Web of Science (WoS) core collection. Our analysis reveals that: ①Robust collaborative networks exist at the international and institutional levels, while scholars…
