Abstract

Energy Internet (or Internet of Energy, Energy Informatics) is a vision of future power systems, which will achieve highly efficient interconnection among various types of energy resources, storages, and loads and enable ubiquitous energy sharing on a large scale. The realization of Energy Internet requires deep integration of Internet of Things into smart energy systems.

In this tutorial, we will explain Energy Internet basic concepts, key enabling technologies, and our recent research results. We will first introduce the concepts, the main principle and architecture related to Energy Internet. Then, we will discuss on how state-of-the-art information technologies (e.g., fog computing, data analytics, machine learning, UAV) can be exploited in smart energy networks. Further, we will mainly focus on decentralized energy sharing and trading scenario. We will present on how blockchain, game theory and auction theory can be used for secure, privacy-preserving, and efficient energy sharing/trading. Demand response management, as a key enabling technology, will be explained to balance and shape the electricity demand and supply. In this context, we will mainly understand the effects of users’ demand, prices and electric vehicles. Finally, we will explain on how to explore machine learning in smart grid, in particular for renewable energy and energy price forecasting.
