Author Description

Energy Internet, a futuristic evolution of electricity system, is conceptualized as an energy sharing network. The energy internet integrates advanced sensors, efficient measurement technologies, advanced control methods, and efficient energy utilization/conversion/storage system to achieve economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly operation of the power grid system. The energy internet also contains a large amount of heterogeneous information, which requires the support of information technology more than traditional power system design. Moreover, due to the open network environment of the energy internet, any anomaly or malicious attack in the system can bring unpredictable and significant losses to the overall grid operation.
