TopIntroduction
The world has to move toward sustainable urbanization in order to meet the growing difficulties brought on by fast urbanization, climate change, and rising energy consumption. In light of this, it is critical to investigate alternate energy sources, and blue wind energy stands out as a viable way to deal with these complex problems. Blue Wind Energy is a cutting-edge method of utilizing wind power since it uses aerial wind turbines that are connected to ground stations. As it get closer to the era of Industry 5.0, which is defined by the smooth merging of digital and physical technology, the need for intelligent and sustainable solutions grows. Modern civilization is typified by urbanization, which raises energy consumption and forces a paradigm change in favor of environmentally friendly alternatives (Atiku, 2019). In order to bring in a new era of intelligent energy management within the framework of Industry 5.0, it explores the revolutionary potential of Blue Wind Energy as a sustainable power source for urbanized environments, combined with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) (Kasinathan et al., 2022). This chapter hopes to offer insightful analysis that advances the conversation about sustainable energy solutions and directs future research and development in the field of urban energy management in Industry 5.0 to-
- -
present blue wind energy as workable green energy source.
- -
examine how AI and IoT may be used for intelligent energy management.
- -
evaluate the possible advantages and difficulties of this integrated strategy.
The growing problems with traditional energy sources, such as resource depletion and environmental deterioration, highlight how urgent it is to implement creative and sustainable energy alternatives (Fields & Atiku, 2017; Atiku, 2020). A viable option is Blue Wind Energy, which uses wind energy to provide electricity while leaving as little of an environmental impact as possible. This renewable energy source is especially important when considering urbanization, since densely populated places require energy solutions that are both ecologically friendly and efficient. The incorporation of AI and IoT technologies into Blue Wind Energy systems amplifies their potential impact, aligning with the principles of Industry 5.0. AI, with its ability to analyze vast datasets and make real-time decisions, promises to optimize the performance of Blue Wind Energy systems (Elrahmani et al., 2021).
TopBackground
The rapid acceleration of urbanization, a hallmark of the 21st century, brings with it a myriad of challenges, chief among them being the escalating demand for energy in densely populated areas. As urban landscapes expand and evolve, traditional energy sources are increasingly proving to be unsustainable, both ecologically and economically. In light of these challenges, the imperative to transition towards renewable and eco-friendly energy alternatives has become a critical focal point for researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders alike (Li et al., 2019).
Blue Wind Energy, a subset of wind energy technology, emerges as a promising solution to address the growing energy needs of urbanized regions. Unlike conventional wind energy systems, Blue Wind Energy capitalizes on the vast energy potential of offshore wind, harnessing the power of wind currents over large bodies of water. This innovative approach not only amplifies energy production efficiency but also mitigates some of the land use challenges associated with onshore wind farms. As the world grapples with the consequences of climate change, the intrinsic sustainability of Blue Wind Energy positions it as a beacon of hope for a greener and more resilient energy future (ElFar et al., 2021).
