Our basic position, to be deepened and formalized in Sec. II, is that Energy Internet is defined as the management of energy systems based on packetized energy, mirroring the data internet management via packets. Its features, such as plug-and-play mechanism, real-time bidirectional flow of energy, information, and money can lead to significant benefits and innovation in electricity production and. Abstract—This paper focuses on the management of the electricity grids using energy packets to build the Energy Internet via machine-type communications. We revisit some attempts to design a digital grid similar to the internet, including packetized management of specific loads (electric vehicles.
