Smart grid communications provide fast, secure, and reliable communications for energy Internet, which enables energy system intelligence, security, and load balancing. Its architecture contains a variety of wireless and powerline communications. In today's rapidly changing energy landscape, achieving a more carbon-free grid will rely upon the efficient coordination of numerous distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar, wind, storage, and loads. It improves a reliability of the system, and provides an increased utilization of energy resources by integrating the smart grid with the. Energy Internet technology promotes the deep integration of energy and communication infrastructure and creates an open and shared Internet ecosystem. The energy Internet theory has been not only applied to the industrial field but also developed to be used in the agricultural field (Fu and Yang.
