当前能源互联网与智能电网研究选题的继承与拓展

Energy Internet (EI) is an emerging field that integrates cooling, heating, power and gas among physical flow, information flow and value flow. The projects supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) can reflect the trend of research focus on EI in China. In this paper, the NSFC funds in EI in the past decade are comprehensively analyzed from the view of research directions, annual approved quantities, universities and the fund types. The results show that driven by the energy transformation and Internet technology, EI extends the research from smart grid (which centers on electricity) to multiple energy system integration of cooling, heating, power and gas. Predominant universities that in the lead position in "electrical science and engineering" and "engineering thermo-physics and energy utilization" have shown their advantages in the research of EI. The funds of EI reflect the cross integration of the above two disciplines with the electrical engineering, electronics and information systems, computer science, automation, management science and engineering, mathematics, building environment and structure, macro-management and policy of multi-disciplinary.
