“…Information and communication technologies (ICTs), especially the emerging information technologies such as cloud computing, Internet of Things, big data analytics and mobile intelligence, are reshaping the landscape of many traditional industries and the daily life style of the general public [6][7][8][9][10]. For the energy sector, emerging ICTs continue to penetrate into the whole process of energy production, transmission, distribution and consumption, thus forming the ICT-enabled intelligent energy system [11][12][13][14][15]. At the same time, the increasingly diverse distributed energy resources (DERs) [16][17][18] and the increasingly abundant energy big data [19][20][21] are combined to promote the formation of more flexible, personalized and efficient energy production and consumption systems.…”
