Internet of Energy: Research Roadmap

The Internet of Energy (IoE) is the future ICT-enabled energy infrastructure. IoE will enable trade of energy between actors of virtually any size: from households to enterprises.  Automation based on the Internet of Things technologies  is the major enabler of peer to peer collaboration in IoE. Future automation systems will be built from intelligent collaborating Internet of Energy: Research Roadmap
