Energy informatics is envisioned to be a new research field. The main goal is to tackle the future global warming and climate change challenges, by exploring advanced ICT theories and tools to solve energy-related problems. The scope of energy informatics include the next-generation communications, computing and control technologies (e.g., 5G, big data, cloud computing); and their applications in the energy sectors (e.g., smart grid, gas, oil, PV and wind systems). This talk has three parts. In the first part, we introduce the key concepts, crucial ICT tools and architectures in energy informatics. Then, we focus on demand response for green and dependable smart power grid systems. Finally, we present our recent studies on electric vehicles and Vehicle-to-Grid networks.
