Abstract
Before the third industrial revolution, humans mainly controlled the operation of energy systems. Currently with the development of energy digitization, big data and artificial intelligence algorithms are widely applied to control the systems. People are liberated from labor, but the purpose of people-orientation should not be ignored. In the fourth industrial revolution in the future, the humanities network will be revived as the superstructure, forming a new “Four Networks and Four Flows.” This chapter mainly introduces the phenomena, challenge, elements, and foundation of human-centered Renaissance from energy digitization. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
