Energy Internet integrates small-scale renewable energy systems, electric loads, storage devices, and electric vehicles for effective transaction of power backed by emerging technologies such as Internet of Things, vehicle-to-grid, and blockchain. Its features, such as plug-and-play mechanism, real-time bidirectional flow of energy, information, and money can lead to significant benefits and innovation in electricity production and. But what gives me confidence, as I look at UL Solutions' work around the energy transition, is that many of the tools the sector needs to accelerate development toward a low-carbon energy future already exist and are ready to be applied. Technology is evolving quickly. The scientific literature is then divided into four categories, each of which represents a different perspective on the EI as shown through its definitions, assumptions, scope, and application. Energy Internet is a concept proposed to harness, control, and manage energy resources effectively, with the help of information and communication technology.
