Key technologies and applications of rural energy internet in China

Rural energy plays an important role in realizing the goals of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" in China. In this paper, the countryside was regarded as the research object, and the rural energy internet was constructed to study the impact of rural energy development on rural carbon emissions. The most advanced energy and informative technologies in the development of rural energy were introduced from three perspectives, including rural living, rural planting and rural breeding. The benefits of rural energy internet in practical application, including energy and carbon benefits, were presented through three application cases. In general, a low-carbon, digital and intelligent rural energy will be developed, and the goals of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" will be achieved by constructing and applying of rural energy internet in China.
