From Smart Grids to an Energy Internet: (A Review Paper on Key Features of an Energy Internet)

Abstract

Invest in "Green" and Alternative Energy Sources by using the latest technology with digitalization is indeed a need of every country to survive. In future smart electric grids, large-scale deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs), renewable generation units such as wind turbine and photovoltaic generation are expected. To obtain reliability and security, every stakeholder of energy delivery has to cooperate and interact with each other. Of course future of Smart Grids is an Energy Internet. The new concept of an Energy Internet with its key features and architecture is presented in this research paper. Energy sustainability in future demands Energy Internet for efficient energy management with a higher degree of interactive flexibility from all the stakeholders.
