Energy Internet is a concept proposed to harness, control, and manage energy resources effectively, with the help of information and communication technology. It improves a reliability of the system, and provides an increased utilization of energy resources by integrating the smart grid with the Internet. A scalable and reliable information and communication architecture is a crucial factor for both the operation and management of the energy Internet. The routing or managing of electrical energy is performed through an energy router (ER), synonymous with a communication router, which routes data packets instead of energy packets. In this paper, a holistic review of the energy Internet evolution in terms of the architecture, types of ERs, and the benefits and challenges of its implementation is presented. An exhaustive summary of the designs and architectures of the different types of ERs is also presented in this paper. The benefits of the energy Internet, along with the challenges of its implementation on a large-scale distributed architecture with the inclusion of renewable energy resources, is discussed. Finally, future prospects for the energy Internet for achieving guaranteed reliability and security is presented.

The concept of active distribution network (ADN) is evolved to address the high penetration of renewables in the distribution network. To leverage the benefits of ADN, effective communication and information technology is required. Various communication standards to facilitate standard-based communication in distribution network have been proposed in literature. This chapter presents various communication standards and technologies that can be employed in ADN. Among various communication standards, IEC 61850 standard has emerged as the de facto standard for power utility automation. IEC 61850-based information modeling for ADN entities has also been presented in this chapter. To evaluate the performance of ADN communication architecture, performance metrics and performance evaluation tools have also been presented in this chapter.To facilitate standard communication in the power distribution networks, various standards and protocols such as IEEE P2030, IEC 60870-5, IEEE C37.118.1/2, Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3), IEC 61850, IEC 61970 and IEC 61968, OpenADR, etc., have been developed. This chapter will present a comprehensive analysis of these state-of-the-art standards and protocols for application in ADNs. The challenges presented by these standards are of feasibility, flexibility and interoperability. In this regard IEC 61850 is emerging as one of the most popular and widely accepted solutions since it is based on the interoperability approach and provides flexibility in implementation [2].For information exchange between different components of ADN different communication technologies have been explored in literature [3,4]. This chapter enlists and provides a detailed study of different communication technologies that can be employed in ADNs. The presence of RERs and DERs in ADNs introduces intermittency, thus the communication architecture for ADN must be highly scalable. To address the scalability issue in the smart grid communication architectures Web protocols have been employed. The proposed chapter will present a detail study of the different Web protocols and their suitability for ADNs [5].The performance of different communication network architectures is evaluated for network latency, quality-of-service (QoS), robustness, reliability and data security to determine its applicability and suitability in ADNs. This chapter will discuss the different simulator tools for evaluating the performance of ADN communication networks. An overview of different real-time test beds and state-of-the-art co-simulation platforms of interfacing power system simulators and ICT simulators will be presented.

Power wireless private networks (PWPNs) have been highly developed in China in recent years. They provide a basis for the energy Internet of Things, which enables the exchange of energy information between devices. Although the power wireless private network is an imitation of the public cellular network, a number of special challenges remain in power private networks. Due to the lack of general standards for PWPNs at the beginning of deployment, there are now two independent PWPN systems in China: long-term evolution (LTE) 230 and LTE 1800. Each has its own core and access networks with independent hardware. In this paper, we propose a high-level design of multinetwork integration to allow LTE 230 and LTE 1800 to coexist. For core network integration, we propose a protocol controller to select the active protocol according to the user’s mode selection, since both LTE 230 and LTE 1800 evolved from the standard LTE system. For access network integration, we propose a multinetwork integration controller to help the device access the optimal cell. The simulation results show that the integrated system can retain the advantages of these two independent systems in terms of both capacity and coverage.
