Abstract: The research and practice of energy internet has been rapidly advanced, and new ideas and technologies have begun to emerge, showing an open and integrated trend. Accurately understanding the development direction and characteristics of energy internet is particularly important for predicting the future form of energy industry and scientifically promoting energy transformation. Based on the comparison of different paths of medium- and long-term energy transformation, this paper focuses on the "Energy Plus" to determine the position of energy in the future high-quality economic development. It also proposes the development concepts of comprehensive energy internet after an analysis of the energy internet framework and operation mechanism, as well as the transboundary integration characteristics. And then, the paper explores the key factors affecting the industrial head structure, namely the interconnection and intercommunication ability, the planning and design ability of integrated energy system, the construction ability of industrial innovation ecosystem, and etc. This more inclusive and more open development idea of energy internet is conducive to advancing the energy transformation to break through the innovation bottleneck of new kinetic energy, new models and new formats.

Key words: comprehensive energy internet, energy transformation, energy plus, integrated energy system
