This open access book explores the collision between the
sustainable energy transition and the Internet of Things (IoT). In
that regard, this book's arrival is timely. Not only is the
Internet of Things for energy applications, herein called the
energy Internet of Things (eIoT), rapidly developing but also the
transition towards sustainable energy to abate global climate is
very much at the forefront of public discourse. It is within the
context of these two dynamic thrusts, digitization and global
climate change, that the energy industry sees itself undergoing
significant change in how it is operated and managed. This book
recognizes that they impose five fundamental energy management
change drivers: 1.) the growing demand for electricity, 2.) the
emergence of renewable energy resources, 3.) the emergence of
electrified transportation, 4.) the deregulation of electric power
markets, 5.) and innovations in smart grid technology. Together,
they challenge many of the assumptions upon which the electric grid
was first built. The goal of this book is to provide a single
integrated picture of how eIoT can come to transform our energy
infrastructure. This book links the energy management change
drivers mentioned above to the need for a technical energy
management solution. It, then, describes how eIoT meets many of the
criteria required for such a technical solution. In that regard,
the book stresses the ability of eIoT to add sensing,
decision-making, and actuation capabilities to millions or perhaps
even billions of interacting "smart" devices. With such a large
scale transformation composed of so many independent actions, the
book also organizes the discussion into a single multi-layer energy
management control loop structure. Consequently, much attention is
given to not just network-enabled physical devices but also
communication networks, distributed control & decision making,
and finally technical architectures and standards. Having gone into
the detail of these many simultaneously developing technologies,
the book returns to how these technologies when integrated form new
applications for transactive energy. In that regard, it highlights
several eIoT-enabled energy management use cases that fundamentally
change the relationship between end users, utilities, and grid
operators. Consequently, the book discusses some of the emerging
applications for utilities, industry, commerce, and residences. The
book concludes that these eIoT applications will transform today's
grid into one that is much more responsive, dynamic, adaptive and
flexible. It also concludes that this transformation will bring
about new challenges and opportunities for the
cyber-physical-economic performance of the grid and the business
models of its increasingly growing number of participants and
stakeholders.
