Ying Wu, Yanpeng Wu, Josep M. Guerrero, Juan C. Vásquez, Emilio José García, Jiao Li
Abstract
The Energy Internet is proposed to enhance the collaborative utilization of distributed renewable energy resources; enable a flexible, customer-engaged energy transaction network; and achieve real-time balancing of supply and demand. This allows integrating advanced Internet of Things (IoT)-based architectures, information and communications technology (ICT)-based end-to-end digital energy chains; customer-centric energy efficiency programs; energy-aware, realtime platforms; and intelligent distributed control algorithms.
