Towards Intelligent Energy Control and Optimization in Energy Internet: A Review

This study aims to review system control problems in the field of energy Internet (EI). Based on the existing related works, EI system modelling approaches without and with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are discussed. Next, optimal energy management issues, robust system stability problems, and the mixed optimal and robust problems in EI are reviewed. The importance of this work is that the specific scenarios and the corresponding advantages and disadvantages of various control methods are analyzed. Finally, it is concluded that the combination of conventional state-space modelling approach and AI techniques is recommended for future study. We claim the future research direction regarding theoretical EI system control and optimization is to apply AI technology to realize an intelligent regulation.
