Guest Editorial Special Issue on New Trends in Energy Internet: Artificial Intelligence-Based Control, Network Security, and Management

Abstract

Energy Internet is recognized as a new and advanced paradigm of smart grids, where energy collection devices, distributed energy storage devices, and various types of energy nodes are interconnected by applying advanced power electronics technology, information technology, and intelligent management technology. This emerging Energy Internet brings remarkable improvement for the society from various aspects with its advantages in high efficiency, strong flexibility, great scalability, and improved reliability. However, it in turn generates new challenges in architecture design, control operation, and energy management. As a result, how to deal with these challenges in Energy Internet still needs further investigation by applying advanced techniques, such as multiagent systems, artificial intelligence-based control, big data cloud computing and management, and so on.
