Project Description and Objectives:

With the development of energy and internet technologies, energy routers are becoming a key device for future energy internet. Energy internet is a brand-new concept that integrates the Internet with energy generation, transmission and consumption. Energy routers are the center of energy conversion and information interaction in energy internet, which is still developing and deepening with the on-going new scientific and technological revolution. This project will focus on energy routers for future networks. First, the basic concept and functions of an energy router will be investigated. Typical energy internet scenarios for energy routers will be summarized and presented afterward. Then key technologies, restraints and development trends of energy routers will be studied respectively. A general report will be presented as the final achievement.

Eligibility Requirements:

Basic knowledge of EE.

Main Tasks:

Investigation of the concept of energy routers and energy internet.

Summarizing typical scenarios of an energy router in energy internet.

Investigation of key technologies of energy routers in typical scenarios.

Discussion on the restraints and the development trends of energy routers.
