    Abstract:

    What needs to be developed from the concept of “Smart Grid” is that: when renewable energy sources are absolutely prevailing in power generation, distributed power generation and distributed energy storage systems are widespread across the grid, and electric vehicle charging loads are prevailing in power load demands, how can the power grid support electric power as a core secondary energy source, undertake the role of a bridge between primary energy and end-use energy, and achieve the coordination and the optimization in macro energy perspective; how to guarantee the security of both macro energy and environment as well as the reliability of electricity. If a new term is needed, it should be Comprehensive Energy Network, not Energy Internet.
