Abstract—This paper focuses on the management of the electricity grids using energy packets to build the Energy Internet via machine-type communications. In any case, this is real if and only if the power grid can handle increased use of renewable energy sources and distributed energy. This chapter presents the development of the Energy Internet throughout the history as an evolutionary solution based on modern technological development and needs, with the respect of its architecture, key features, and key concepts, such as energy router, prosumer, and virtual power plant.
