Abstract—The increase of distributed energy, deregulation of
energy market together with the growing pressure from energy
consumption resulted climate change urges a transformation of
the energy sector. The dumb centralized grid marches on a
metamorphosis to a smart, distributed grid and a diversity of
new market roles, business models and technologies are
spawned. The other shore of this revolution is called Energy
Internet or Internet of Energy. The present work proposes
architecture of Energy Internet as a tool of categorization and
presents the state-of-art related technologies and use cases based
on a wide range of sources including academic papers, project
reports, policies and press information.
Index Terms—Energy Internet, architecture, review.
