Energy Internet contains multiple energy elements

Energy Internet integrates small-scale renewable energy systems, electric loads, storage devices, and electric vehicles for effective transaction of power backed by emerging technologies such as Internet of Things, vehicle-to-grid, and blockchain. Energy Internet, a futuristic evolution of electricity system, is conceptualized as an energy sharing network. Its features, such as plug-and-play mechanism, real-time bidirectional flow of energy, information, and money can lead to significant benefits and innovation in electricity production and. They propose that the basic architecture of the EI consists of 'the Internet‐like energy systems' and the 'Internetþ' layers. 7 Moreover, by 2015, the concept of EI could be categorised into three types,8focusing on 'global power interconnection', 'integrated multi‐energy' and 'energy‐information. Therefore, a new energy paradigm is known as the “Energy Internet” that combines economics, energy, and technology in an open, equal, and coordinated fashion. [PDF]
