Abstract: The start of energy reformation in China has introduced a huge opportunity for the improvement and reorganization of the energy structure. As the reformation of energy system is going further, there are currently different views on the future energy structure and “Internet + energy”. In this article, a review is presented on the development history from the smart energy system to Energy Internet at home and abroad. The current status of the development of the Energy Internet is also interpreted. Then authors demonstrate their own understanding on Energy Internet and the importance of energy system reformation. In the future, the energy structure will be consisted of basic Energy Internet and higher levels of Energy Internet, with spirits of more openness, equality, interactivity and sharing. Human oriented is the original point of Energy Internet. Internet will provide tools to optimize all segments of energy system and finally benefits every customer with “best” energy service. More renewable energy is expected to be accommodated in the Energy Internet, with the important assistance from distributed energy on modulating and backup. The role of distributed energy systems will be highlighted for their important function in the future energy structure. As representing advanced productivity, the Energy Internet is expected to solve current energy problems, create a new field of energy service and help with the economic transformation in China.

Abstract: The article analyzes the reasons that led to the loss of the original meaning of energy as a quantitative measure of motion and the uncertainty of this concept. A generalization of the energy conservation law was proposed taking into account the kinetics and irreversibility of real processes, and on this basis, the general properties of any forms of energy were identified. The ability is shown to return energy close to the original meaning as the most common characteristic function of the system state, expressing its ability to perform any work. A new classification of forms of energy is given, based on the fundamental difference between ordered and disordered works as quantitative measures of the processes of its transfer and transformation, as well as the presence of an irreducible part in each form of energy.
