Abstract

Smart energy systems is a process by which energy generators and energy network operators interact and provide a comprehensive and optimized solution using a mix of on-demand fossil fuel, local stored sustainable fuels, and other renewables like photovoltaics and hydrogen in a bidirectional network. An overlay upon the smart network is the inclusion of embedded devices that monitor and report to an enterprise management console using Internet bandwidth for implementation and optimization of energy systems. Here, the load is balanced to provide constant voltage over the day using smart management artificial intelligence algorithms. Through design and operation, every facet in the energy network is optimized are addressable using the Internet of Things approach the prupose is to achieve synergy and complementarity of the subsystems, creating a whole that is greater than the subparts. This is due to the incorporation of embedded objects, business model, and system design. The latter is achieved using artificial intelligence algorithms for swarm design optimization at multiple level of integration. These inculde integration at the level of energy generation, storage, transmission, substation, station, and end user. A top layer of automation and blockchain transactional technology is added for self-correction, fault tolerance, deployment of pig-robots and aerial unmanned surveillance to create and maintain a self-aware network. Such a network would also inculde fault tolerance, machine learning, predictive and corrective of component failure. These features augment human decision-making with smart metering and billing of common tasks to business and end users enabling them to focus on their core missions.

Jingbo L. Liu (JLL) notes with profound sadness with SB the passing of Professor Derrick and Mr. Bashir. There is a word in the Old Testament, Salah, meaning to pause, to reflect, and to think. I deeply miss Peter and my dad, but I will never forget the important lessons they taught me about being a scientist, teacher, and human being. J. L. Liu writes, “I never met Dr. Derrick, but his knowledge to advance science and responsibility to educate the young generation has been an inspiration in my academic career. There are three very sad experiences in my life: the death of my grandparents who raised me and taught me to be a nice person; the death of my parents who gave me life and encouraged me to be a strong person; and the death of Dr. Derrick and Mr. Bashir who greatly affected Dr. Bashir. I have known and worked with Dr. Bashir for over a decade. I know the type of man he is and know this is in great part due to Peter Derrick, his academic father, and Mohammed Bashir, his biological father. I shall never forget the sweet, courageous, and dedicated man, whose name will always linger in my thoughts. Thank you, Dr. Peter Derrick, and Dad. God Speed to both of you and thank you for giving me the start in life I have”.

Author Contribution

G.Y conceived the thrust; W. R. wrote the sections on smart energy systems; W. Z on the specific pilot projects. SRC checked the data in Tables 26.1 and 26.2, and the section on smart computing and blockchain technologies. J. L. Liu on the Chinese to English translations in Figure 26.1 and the abstract/conclusion sections. S. B added the references and added sections on clean (hydrogen) energy; and G.Y reviewed the entire manuscript.
