Abstract
Along with technical trends in recent years, modern power distribution systems are rapidly evolving into complex cyber-physical systems integrated with a large number of dispersed energy resources, multi-disciplinary communication technology and computing & control technology, referred as “active distribution network (AND)”. This paper discusses the vision of constructing the data-centric energy ecosystem in AND. The definition and key characteristics of energy ecosystem are discussed. Particularly, a distributed, data-centric cyber-physical infrastructure is proposed to support constructing the energy ecosystem in future ADNs. We also discuss the multi-dimensional service model and interaction environment which the infrastructure can deliver to AND. Finally, we propose some innovative data-centric applications that can be built on the cyber-physical infrastructure, which can also be considered as a roadmap for future open research and development.

Funding
Since its proposal in 2008, many academic and industrial efforts have been done on ADN. The European Union’s sixth framework program (EUFP6) sets up the “active distribution network, ADINE” demonstration project [5], which utilizes ICTs to develop active network management schemes for distribution network with large-scale distributed generation(DG) penetration. Some other works gave technical reviews for ADN. [6-7] give a review for the development trends)

[8-9] discuss the prospect of developing innovative data-driven applications in ADN.
