主讲内容：Energy has been fuelling human civilization since early days of human existence, and represents the quality of life and degree of development for human civilization. However, energy is a double-edge sword, while it brings wealth and welfare to our society, its side effect has significant negative social, economic and environmental impact, including the pressing issue of climate change encompassing global warming and climate variability leading to extreme weather conditions with severe damages.  In the coming wave of The Industry 4.0, a concept originated from Germany and having been embraced around the world, energy would play a dominant role in its development and implementation. As a result, the concept of The Energy 4.0 has been envisioned. In this talk, the evolution of energy systems and prospect and attributes of The Energy 4.0 era will be described.
