As an IT company in Knoxville we ensure we keep up to date with all advancements that the world of Internet and technology make. With this in mind, we find the rise of the “Internet of Things” and its impact on “Communication Internet” and “Energy Internet” fascinating, and can tell that its impact on high speed data and cable networks in Knoxville, as well as the rest of the world, will be significant.

The Internet of Things: Communication Internet and Energy Internet

The Internet of ThingsIf you’re familiar at all with the Internet of Things, then you’ll know of the unspokenintent to become an automated society, able to control everything at the click of abutton. The way technology is progressing, however, it’s set to become so muchmore than that. A combined communication internet, and energy internet, aim tothe Internet of Things an invaluable tool that may well help us solve the problem ofthe energy crisis.

Energy InternetThe Energy Internet is a concept with the aim to help us solve the energy crisis ofthe world by promoting more effective production of energy from renewablesources and expediting the communication of that (i.e. Communication Internet)when it comes to buying, selling, as well as creating and using that energy.

The principle of “Energy Internet” relies on five fundamental things occurring as simultaneously as possible:

1. Buildings and infrastructure being refurbished to make them energy efficient and ready for renewable energy technology to be installed, allowing generation of power either for the buildings themselves to use or to send back to the electricity grid. Buildings generating excess energy which is handed back to the electricity grid will then be compensated.

2. The implementation of ambitious targets to allow the world to move towards primarily using energy from renewable sources rather than fossil fuels.

3. The installation of storage technology, including batteries, water pumping and hydrogen fuel cells, amongst others, at local generation sites and at electricity grids. This is with a view to manage the flow of green energy, as well as stabilizing peak and base loads.

4. Buildings will require fitting with advanced technology and metres to transform and manage the energy flowing from the local generators to the electricity grid. This will allow them to manage their own production of energy, as well as allowing them to sell any excess electricity generated back to the “Energy Internet.”

5. Even vehicles will contribute to the Energy Internet by use of parking spacesequipped with charging stations, allowing electric and fuel cell vehicles to bothcharge using the Energy Internet as well as sell power back to it (particularly duringpeak times). Drivers would be compensated for this, but it does demonstrate howevery aspect of our society may be changed by the Energy Internet.

From these points, you can see how the Internet of Things is so much more thaneither the Communication Internet or simple smartening up your home. There isthe potential for real changes both locally and around the world.
