Scholars have studied and expounded the concept, architecture, key technologies, and management schemes of the Energy Internet and constructed its concept and architecture from several levels such as family energy LAN, urban Energy Internet, regional Energy Internet, and global. Scholars have studied and expounded the concept, architecture, key technologies, and management schemes of the Energy Internet and constructed its concept and architecture from several levels such as family energy LAN, urban Energy Internet, regional Energy Internet, and global. The physical form of the Energy Internet is divided into three levels: Energy Local Area Network (ELAN), Energy Wide Area Network (EWAN), and Energy Global Network (EGN). ELAN is also known as the distributed integrated energy system (IES). Based on microgrids, ELAN integrates various networks such. The Energy Internet is often abstracted as a hierarchical structure composed of three layers: Physical Layer: Internet-like energy systems. The physical layer breaks the barriers existing among energy eco-system: Integration of energy systems, not only electricity, but also heating, cooling, gas. Energy Internet, a futuristic evolution of electricity system, is conceptualized as an energy sharing network. Its features, such as plug-and-play mechanism, real-time bidirectional flow of energy, information, and money can lead to significant benefits and innovation in electricity production and. The scientific literature is then divided into four categories, each of which represents a different perspective on the EI as shown through its definitions, assumptions, scope, and application domains. First, this paper. However, at present, with the pressure of energy crisis and the development of novel energy conversion technologies, such as natural-gas unit, combined heat and power (CHP), the concept of energy internet (EI), which combine different types of energy carriers, such as electricity, natural gas, and.
