Brief Description of the tutorial proposal
- The Energy Internet (EI) represents a major evolution of conventional smart grids toward intelligent, decentralized, and highly interconnected energy systems. Inspired by the operational principles of the Internet, the EI enables energy exchange in the form of packetized power transmission between distributed producers and consumers through Energy Routers (ERs). As renewable energy integration, peer-to-peer energy trading, and decentralized microgrids continue to expand, efficient and adaptive power routing protocols become essential to ensure reliable, scalable, and energy-efficient operation.
- This tutorial presents recent advances in intelligent power routing methodologies for packetized energy networks, with a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based routing approaches. The tutorial introduces the architecture of Energy Internet systems, Energy Routers, packetized power concepts, and the formulation of the power routing problem under real-world constraints such as congestion, transmission losses, limited capacities, and dynamic topology changes.
- Several routing methodologies will be discussed, including graph theory approaches, metaheuristic optimization techniques, Multi-Agent Systems, and Reinforcement Learning methods. Particular focus will be given to distributed Q-learning-based routing protocols and self-healing routing mechanisms for decentralized energy networks.
- The tutorial also explores future research directions including Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), intelligent adaptive routing, cloud energy storage, and AI-native energy infrastructures for future green energy systems.
