From Smart Grid to Energy Internet
Smart grids are an ad-vanced concept with a number of unique features compared to their precedents, including early detection and self heal-ing capabilities. An implementation of smart grids is an energy internet where energy flows from suppliers to customers like data. ABSTRACT The concept of Energy Internet has emerged from the limitless possibilities of energy sharing networks formed by interconnection of electricity producers cum consumers (prosumers) with renewable energy sources/systems, electric loads, and storage devices. In response, this year's report examines the range of measures that regulators and system operators are adopting to "move fast and connect things": enabling more capacity to be integrated more quickly through regulatory reforms and deployment of technologies that can deliver rapid grid upgrades. By the mid-20th century, it was a marvel: massive coal, hydro and nuclear plants feeding power through high-voltage.
