Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The digital transformation driven by 4.0 technologies is having a disruptive impact on many sectors, including energy. These innovations allow us to respond to both the growing energy demand and the lower carbon emission requirements. The application of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to vast types of devices has led to electrical networks being monitored and controllable in a capillary way. Big data techniques and predictive models allow smart management of networks, from a national scale up to micronetworks, facilitating the spread of distributed generation and storage systems. New intermediaries and new business models appear in the energy market. The energy economy has changed from a power economy to a data and power economy, leading to the concept of the “Internet of Energy”.
The aim of this Special Issue is to report on new scenarios, technologies, and applications related to the concept of the Internet of Energy and discuss challenges and risks. Examples of this work include the description of new business models and new operating methodologies related to the energy sector, the impact of the digital transformation on the players of the energy sector, new policies and strategies for the monitoring and control of macro and microenergy grids, and new models of data monetization in the energy sector. The Special Issue also aims to cover the impact of 4.0 technologies on the energy sector, including the large-scale deployment of IoT, the employment of big data and machine learning for energy forecasting, the use of cloud platforms for the control of smart grids, and the new cyber-risks for the energy sector.
Technology development has led to new opportunities for business improvement. Internet of Things, Internet of Energy, cyberphysical systems, big data, and machine learning are new techniques used in Industry 4.0 that enable businesses to better manage resources and provide them with the flexibility to respond to business conditions.
