Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications (this opens in a new tab) Special Issue on
Affordable and Clean Energy
With semiconductor and wireless communication techniques (i.e., 5G and Beyond) advancing by leaps and bounds, Internet of Things (IoT) applications have penetrated into a wide spectrum of aspects of human lives, including intelligent manufacturing, intelligent connected vehicle, smart grid, smart city, smart healthcare, smart retail, smart supply chain, smart farming, etc. However, due to the large amount of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of information technology infrastructure supporting the IoT, such as data centers, computing centers, blockchains, core networks, and wireless communication systems, the widespread use of the IoTs have a growing environmental footprint.
To ensure the sustainable development of IoT, technical innovation needs to be carried out from the following aspects. (1) Continuous development of smart grid technology, ensuring that clean energy can be conveniently accessed, and the production, storage, distribution and usage of electric energy are more intelligent and efficient; (2) constant exploration of green communication and green computing technologies, providing computing sustainability for a large number of heterogeneous devices and users, as well as energy efficient and environmentally friendly network connectivity; and (3) further adoption of connected electric vehicles to replace traditional gasoline vehicles, in order to improve traffic efficiency, bring convenience to people, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Given the growing interests in both industry and academia, this special issue targets the important issues in IoT applications and systems for affordable and clean energy, e.g. smart grid, sustainable computing and communications, and connected electric vehicles.
The relevant solutions are of paramount importance to advance the sustainable development of emerging IoT applications. The main topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Smart grid with affordable and clean energy
