Mapping a sustainable innovative future for energy sector is an ideal for human life and business. The digital transformation driven by 4.0 technologies is having a disruptive impact on many sectors, including energy. These innovations allow us to respond to both the growing energy demand and the lower carbon emission requirements. The application of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to vast types of devices has led to electrical networks being monitored and controllable in a capillary way. Big data techniques and predictive models allow smart management of networks, from a national scale up to micronetworks, facilitating the spread of distributed generation and storage systems. New intermediaries and new business models appear in the energy market. The energy economy has changed from a power economy to a data and power economy, leading to the concept of the “Internet of Energy”. The aim of this Special Issue is to report on new scenarios, technologies, and applications related to the concept of the Internet of Energy and discuss challenges and risks. Examples of this work include the description of new business models and new operating methodologies related to the energy sector, the impact of the digital transformation on the players of the energy sector, new policies and strategies for the monitoring and control of macro and micro energy grids, and new models of data monetization in the energy sector. The Special Issue also aims to cover the impact of 4.0 technologies on the energy sector, including the large-scale deployment of IoT, the employment of big data and machine learning for energy forecasting, the use of cloud platforms for the control of smart grids, and the new cyber-risks for the energy sector. Technology development has led to new opportunities for business improvement. Internet of Things, Internet of Energy, cyberphysical systems, big data, and machine learning are new techniques used in Industry 4.0 that enable businesses to better manage resources and provide them with the flexibility to respond to business conditions.  Nowadays, we had passed the 4 waves/ages. Before 1970 various businesses could affect technologies. Since we reached the 70ies the technologies and IoT became able to change and improve the businesses, even our lives. In the 21st century, as jobs in energy sector, D3 revolutions include digitalization, decarbonization and decentralization are running in most of the businesses, we are facing a new generation of fast processing, including decision making of machines instead of humans and due to the covid-19 pandemic arising in last 2 years the face of the world and many lifestyles has been changed that the people are staying at home and doing their jobs through internet and online processing than past that is also including entertainment and hobbies plans. So, in this regard, it seems simultaneous with the arising of intelligent networks that Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears in energy management more tangible and productive. IoT based economy/business in energy sector make this engineering procedure faster, safer with higher productivity even possible. D3 revolutions and other new technologies as well as knowledge in combination of reality and virtual reality build a new concept named Hybrid SMEs/SME 5.0 in energy sector which changes the paradigm from traditional to modern to get prepared for the future concern. These IoE technologies would create smart business; however, barriers cause challenges to apply these IoT technologies and create modern areas. It is required to indicate these barriers and find out solutions to apply them. Based on the 5^th wave theory, tomorrow’s crises have been discussed that in our world of that technology development and rapid growing made ever quickening change, the human mind is threatened by shattering. Proper solutions and policies could make energy managers to deal with new challenges for the future life. This theory could be a comprehensive strategy to find out solutions to deal with such energy management challenges, even to tackle tomorrow’s crises for mapping a sustainable innovative future for smart energy and moving from fossil energy to renewable and smart energy. It is vital to deal with them to maintain the nature and humanity life. The theory illustrates the energy and economic SMEs from SME 3.0 to SME 5.0 which we call it Tomorrow’s SMEs. It has been invented by Prof. Doost-theoretician (2010-17) and it is about proceeding of future of I4.0 and future of Society5.0 and edge of tomorrow which is mentioned from 2020-2030. Modern SMEs that are not only concerned on business, but also CSR, CSE and CGS strategies, improving sustainability. This SME 5.0 is a concept though the 5^th wave theory which is a kind of 7PS sustainability with seven pillars of sustainability based on being to make the word as a better place for living. Seven Pillars of Sustainability Model ‘’7PS model’’ which is focusing on seven pillars of sustainability, that seven pillars are required to develop sustainability and prioritized them, in order and as follows:

(1) Cultural

(2) Environmental

(3) Social

(4) Economy

(5) Technical

(6) Educational

(7) Political
