Overview
While distributed renewable energy resources continue to grow exponentially, and the grid becomes more digitized, the utilities' customer relationships and their operations get even more complex. The more evolution of dynamic demand-response, smart homes and billing, and social media applications will significantly change the way utilities interact with customers (e.g., utilities' customers have started to act as prosumers by generating their own power and sell it back to the national electricity supplier). The traditional age-old grid supports one-way flow of energy from centralized generation to end consumers, which is not the optimum operational model nowadays. In order to provide two-way energy flows (i.e., grid-consumer-grid and consumer-consumer), we need to move away from hub-and-spoke model toward a multidirectional giant network-of-networks called Energy Cloud. The ability to adapt to the large-scale changing environment of Energy Cloud allows consumers to connect essentially all electrical devices from the supply grid to the individual users into one giant energy cloud network. However, the optimization of Energy Cloud is a challenge and requires further research and development to significantly reduce the total energy cost and building a secure, and stable network. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and individuals working on relevant research areas to share their latest accomplishments and research findings within the research community.
The special issue aims to cover topics that include, but not limited to, the below topics:
Optimization of energy cloud
Applied machine learning for energy cloud
Artificial intelligence for network-of-networks
Cyber-physical system of energy cloud
Network-of-networks security
Privacy in cyber-physical systems
Two ways energy sharing
Demand-side management
Enabling technologies (e.g., social media) impact on energy eloud
Energy cloud for off-grid smart homes
Applications of energy cloud (network-of-networks)
Critical infrastructure protection for energy cloud
