Review on the functional form and development trend of energy internet

Abstract

Driven by the “third industrial revolution”, energy internet has become the core of modern economic and social development. It combines with internet, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies to jointly promote intelligent, clean, efficient and sustainable development. This paper first briefly analyzes the background and significance of energy internet, and points out that compared with traditional energy network, energy internet has the advantages of electrification and integration. Then, this paper studies the framework and functional forms of the energy internet, and roughly divides the energy internet into energy production and consumption layer, energy transmission layer, integrated energy management big data platform, and application layer. At the same time, an effective method is proposed to combine the energy system with emerging technologies such as the internet, smart grid, cloud computing, and big data to solve the problem of low energy efficiency of the energy system. On this basis, the development trend of the energy internet is predicted, and the development focus of the energy internet field is proposed from different angles, which has certain guiding significance for the development of the energy internet.
