Abstract: Abstract The evolution of energy has a pivotal role in transforming human lifestyle and economical well-being. The development of the economy and human society is closely related to the exploitation of expansive sustainable distributed energy systems and advanced technologies. However, the inclusion of extensive renewable-based energy would make the architecture of the electrical grid more complex and require special attention from the new technologies in terms of robust control, advanced communication protocols, effective, reliable, and secure management and coordination strategies, etc. Therefore, a new energy paradigm is known as the “Energy Internet” that combines economics, energy, and technology in an open, equal, and coordinated fashion. Energy Internet (often reflects Internet plus energy) is a novel energy network that interconnects the power system components: production, transmission, storage, and consumption through a software-defined energy network. It has the features of adapting and accessing the new energy, smart devices, multienergy transmission, and coordination. In this chapter, we will discuss an overview of the Energy Internet and its major characteristics, the key technologies, namely energy routers, distributed energy resources, advanced metering infrastructure, and information and communication technology, that will play a major role in the development of future Energy Internet.
