Since energy flow and information flow are tightly coupled, Energy Internet cyber systems should be further investigated to overcome technical obstacles in data association, information collection and secure dispatch, and real-time control in multiple energy markets.
JT participated in the conception and design of the study, supervised the data collection, and helped secure grant funding.
The rationale for using 20 controls per case, more than the recommended 3 5 controls per case, was because having extra controls did not require additional costs for data collection and could secure reasonable statistical power of analyses in the examination of uncommon exposures.
Moreover, an energy-efficient secure routing is proposed to achieve secure data collection and meet the requirement of energy efficiency.
Assessment Center was designed for the purpose of secure data collection, and this made it an ideal medium for collecting this small amount of data and adding it to the larger set of data that was already collected for these participants.
C.P. and K.G. were involved in securing funding, data collection and editing the manuscript.
The authors declare that they have no competing interests H-AR was the principal investigator of the project, conceptualised the project and methods used, developed the protocol, secured funding, supervised data collection and analysis of data and was involved in the research, write up and editing.
DSH provided overall leadership to the study, secured funding and conducted the data collection and analysis.
We made an important effort to limit such biases by securing a high confidentiality of data collection and recording.
The tool will be on dedicated laptop computers and support secure data access, data encryption, offline data collection and subsequent database synchronisation (to mitigate against the problems of fire walls and poor internet connectivity in various healthcare settings).
