IoT Empowered Multi-Energy Systems
Description
To achieve CO2 neutral energy system, many loads are being electrified. Nonetheless, 100% electrification of all energy consumption might not be the ultimate solution or the most efficient way of energy utilization. For instance, there is large demand of heat, which if supplied directly by the heat in the nature will be much more efficient than a heat-electricity-heat multi-stage conversion. Different energy vectors have different dynamics and energy density. Therefore, if they are properly bridged together, there is huge potential to make the most of energy storage in a very cost-effective way, e.g., heat pumps have a much lower cost than batteries with similar energy capacity. IoT would be a key technology to connect multi-energy vectors together, and coordinate them properly to achieve higher energy efficiency and lower cost of energy.
