Intelligent Energy Management Systems in Industry 5.0: Cybersecurity Applications in Examples

The article examines modern approaches to energy management in the context of the development of Industry 5.0 with a particular focus on cybersecurity. Key tenets of Industry 5.0 are discussed, including the integration of advanced technologies with intelligent energy management systems (IEMSs) and the growing need to protect data in the face of increasing cyber threats. The challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) using solutions based on renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic farms, are also analyzed. The article presents examples of IEMS applications and discusses methods for securing these systems, offering an overview of cyber threat protection tools in the context of modern energy management. The analysis carried out provided information that will help businesses make rational decisions and contribute to shaping the state's macroeconomic policy on cybersecurity and energy savings. The results of this research can also help develop more effective strategies for managing technology and IT infrastructure, which is crucial in the digital age of Industry 5.0.
