Abstract

The development of smart cities brings new challenges and opportunities for energy management. As urbanization rapidly advances, efficient energy use becomes a key factor in achieving sustainable development and enhancing urban competitiveness. Big data, as a disruptive technology, can provide data-driven decision-making support for urban energy management. By analyzing the application status of big data in smart city energy management domestically and internationally, this paper explores its advantages in optimizing energy efficiency and improving management capabilities, outlines the current challenges, and proposes corresponding solutions and future research directions.
