Energy Internet integrates small-scale renewable energy systems, electric loads, storage devices, and electric vehicles for effective transaction of power backed by emerging technologies such as Internet of Things, vehicle-to-grid, and blockchain. To realize renewable-energy-based electrification goals, a new concept—the. The concept of 'Energy Internet' (EI) has been widely accepted by both academic and industry experts after more than a decade of development. Since it was proposed, EI has been discussed and applied to many technical works in power and energy areas. In 1986, Peter Meisen founded the Global Energy Network Institute, aiming to fully utilize renewable resources on a global scale through power transmission lines between countries. By connecting the smart grid to the web, the system's dependability is enhanced, and energy is used more. Energy Internet, a futuristic evolution of electricity system, is conceptualized as an energy sharing network.
