Some key issues in building a "source network load storage" complementary energy internet in China.

Abstract

The key to "dual carbon" lies in low-carbon energy systems. The energy internet can coordinate upstream and downstream "source network load storage" to break energy system barriers and promote carbon reduction in energy production and consumption processes. This article first introduces the basic concepts and key technologies of the energy internet from the current situation of energy supply and demand in China. Second, this paper proposes to create an energy internet with coordinated and complementary "source network load storage" and to construct a new type of power system with six new characteristics in this context. Finally, combined with an example of the energy internet demonstration project, this paper analyses and summarizes the value creation and business type innovation of the energy internet from three aspects: power market mechanisms, comprehensive energy services, and low-carbon energy diversification, and it looks ahead to the future direction of energy internet construction.
