Abstract

The energy internet has been proposed and utilized to alleviate existing environment, sustainability, efficiency and security problems and satisfy increasing energy demand in energy applications, by coupling the energy flows of various energy types with information flow. The energy internet mainly involves the energy flow systems of various energy types and is an energy-coupling system composed of a physical energy system and corresponding controllers. Then, using an in-depth study of dynamic processes and the interaction among energy production, transmission and consumption, this chapter concludes that the design, planning, operation and control of the energy internet rely heavily on analytical tools. Next, the major components, the architecture, and the technical characteristics of the energy internet are described from the perspective of simulation. Finally, application scenarios for dynamic simulation of the energy internet and the existing simulation technical foundation for various energy types are introduced.
