Abstract
This paper plans to develop an Equitable and Responsible AI framework with enabling techniques and algorithms for the Internet of Energy (IoE), in short, RAI4IoE. The energy sector is going through substantial changes fueled by two key drivers: building a zero-carbon energy sector and the digital transformation of the energy infrastructure. We expect to see the convergence of these two drivers resulting in the IoE, where renewable distributed energy resources (DERs), such as electric cars, storage batteries, wind turbines and photovoltaics (PV), can be connected and integrated for reliable energy distribution by leveraging advanced 5G-6G networks and AI technology. This allows DER owners as prosumers to participate in the energy market and derive economic incentives. DERs are inherently asset-driven and face equitable challenges (i.e., fair, diverse and inclusive). Without equitable access, privileged individuals, groups and organizations can participate and benefit at the cost of disadvantaged groups. The real-time management of DER resources not only brings out the equity problem to the IoE, it also collects highly sensitive location, time, activity dependent data, which requires to be handled responsibly (e.g., privacy, security and safety), for AI-enhanced predictions, optimization and prioritization services, and automated management of flexible resources. The vision of our project is to ensure equitable participation of the community members and responsible use of their data in IoE so that it could reap the benefits of advances in AI to provide safe, reliable and sustainable energy services.

本 paper 计划开发一个平等和负责任的 AI 框架,以支持能源互联网(IoE),也就是 RAI4IoE。能源行业正在经历由两个关键驱动因素引起的重大变革:建设零碳排放能源部门以及能源基础设施的数字转型。我们期望看到这两个驱动因素的趋同,最终导致IoE,其中可再生能源分布式能源资源(DERs)如电动汽车、储能电池、风电和光伏发电可以连接和整合,以可靠地分配能源,利用先进的5G-6G网络和人工智能技术。这使得DER 所有者作为新手可以参与能源市场并从中获利。 DERs 本质上是一种资产驱动的资源,面临公平挑战(即公正、多样化和包容性)。没有公平机会,特权个人、团体和组织可以参与并利用不利群体的代价。实时管理 DER 资源不仅揭示了IoE中的公平问题,还收集了高度敏感的位置、时间和活动依赖数据,这些数据需要负责任地处理(例如隐私、安全和安全),用于增强AI预测、优化和优先级服务,以及自动化灵活的资源管理。我们项目的目标在于确保社区成员的平等参与和负责任地使用其数据,在IoE中为安全、可靠和可持续的能源服务做出贡献。
