This paper investigates the possibility of building the Energy Internet via a packetized management of non-industrial loads. The proposed solution is based on the cyber-physical implementation of energy packets where flexible loads send use requests to an energy server. Based on the existing literature, we explain how and why this approach could scale up to interconnected micro-grids, also pointing out the challenges involved in relation to the physical deployment of electricity network. We then assess how machine-type wireless communications, as part of 5G and beyond systems, will achieve the low latency and ultra reliability needed by the micro-grid protection while providing the massive coverage needed by the packetized management. This more distributed grid organization also requires localized governance models. We cite few existing examples as local markets, energy communities and micro-operator that support such novel arrangements. We close the paper by providing an overview of ongoing activities that support the proposed vision and possible ways to move forward.

This paper presents a novel architecture for rural distribution grids. This architecture is designed to modernize traditional rural networks into new Smart Grid ones. The architecture tackles innovation actions on both the power plane and the management plane of the system. In the power plane, the architecture focuses on exploiting the synergies between telecommunications and innovative technologies based on power electronics managing low scale electrical storage. In the management plane, a decentralized management system is proposed based on the addition of two new agents assisting the typical Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system of distribution system operators. Altogether, the proposed architecture enables operators to use more effectively-in an automated and decentralized way-weak rural distribution systems, increasing the capability to integrate new distributed energy resources. This architecture is being implemented in a real Pilot Network located in Spain, in the frame of the European Smart Rural Grid project. The paper also includes a study case showing one of the potentialities of one of the principal technologies developed in the project and underpinning the realization of the new architecture: the so-called Intelligent Distribution Power Router.

“…Literature [19] introduced a household ER that is suitable for low-voltage and small-capacity load area and presented the corresponding mathematical model and control strategy. Literature [20] discussed the different operation modes of the ER and validate the design of a single phase ER by simulations and experimental results. Nevertheless, no energy storage device is included in the ERs presented in [10], [19], and [20], and there is no discussion on the energy management strategy of ERs.…”

Nevertheless, no energy storage device is included in the ERs presented in [10], [19], and [20], and there is no discussion on the energy management strategy of ERs. Considering that the energy storage device can support the regular operation of ERs in islanded mode and achieve energy distribution optimization in grid-connected mode, the energy storage device should be an essential component of ERs, and it is necessary to study the energy management strategy that is suitable for ERs in low-voltage distribution network.…”

Energy router is an intelligent power electronic device that can realize the active management of power flow and provide convenient access to distributed energy resource. This paper presents the structure of an AC-DC hybrid multi-port energy router, which acts as the interface between the power consumer and the distribution network. The corresponding coordinated control strategy is developed to guarantee the regular operation of the energy router and a mode switch strategy with advanced compensation is proposed to achieve seamless transition between grid-connected mode and islanded mode. A novel and practical fuzzy logic controller considering unit-time electricity charge is proposed for the energy router to prolong battery life, to improve economic benefits of power consumers, and to smooth fluctuations of renewable energy generation or load consumption. The simulation and experimental results have validated the coordinated control and energy management strategies and demonstrated that the energy router has satisfactory performance.
