Integration of Energy, Information, Transportation and Humanity : Renaissance from Digitization

Focusing on energy, transportation, information, and economic networks and flows, Integration of Energy, Information,Transportation and Humanity uniquely examines the interconnection, interaction, and integration across these multiple sectors. It helps readers understand the correlation of energy, transportation, and information via the integration of humanity world, cyber world and physical world. It clearly explains the objectives of the integration of energy network, transportation network, information network, humanity network, as well as the integration of energy flow, information flow, material flow and value flow (4N4F); the philosophy, science, and engineering of the integration of 4N4F; the mechanism, keys and benefits of the integration of 4N4F; the carriers of the integration of 4N4F; and the framework of the integration of 4N4F.

• Synthesizes the newest developments in digital technologies and digital economy
• Includes case studies and examples that illustrate the application of methodologies and technologies employed
• Useful for both theoretically and technically oriented researchers

Dr. George You Zhou received the BSc and MSc degrees in electrical engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing,
China, in 1995 and 1998 respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada, in 2001. From
2001-2013, he was a senior staff engineer with Honeywell Aerospace, Toronto, Canada, where he worked on the concept
and implementation of electric, thermal, and kinetic energy control and conversion via integrated controller design
cross electric power system, environmental control system and engine control system for various more electric aircrafts.
He has won a technical achievement award and outstanding engineer award in Honeywell. From 2013-now, he
is Principal Scientist with National Institute of Clean and Low Carbon Energy at Beijing, China. His current research
interests include the development of energy storage, green hydrogen, smart energy system and industrial IoT driven
AI technologies.
