A Case Study of Developing an Intelligent Management System for Energy Internet

Abstract

Energy Internet (EI) has drawn increasingly interests in related industries. The implement of EI is a milestone on the road-map to promote the revolution of both energy production and consumption, which is important to achieve sustainable energy development. This paper investigates the possibility on establishing the EI by integrating application-level intelligent management system with traditional energy grid in neighbourhood scale. As a new energy utilisation model, EI realises the deep integration between energy industry and information and communications technology (ICT) in order to optimise regional energy management and optimal dispatch. With the support of Internet of things technology and big data technology, this system plays an important role in coordinating management and scheduling while realising the interaction between market entities and end-users at the same time. This paper reviews and conducts in-depth research on the background, concept and technical model of EI, and also discusses the implementation of EI in a practical industrial parks.
