The integra4ng nature of smart grids Smart grids will increase electricity system informa4on and transparency, improving the ability to make system investment decisions sharing costs and benefits with all stakeholders. Smart grid deployments must reflect regional needs and conditions. A one-size-fits-all does not apply to the deployment of smart grids. 7
Key Efforts Needed Technology Build up commercial scale demonstra4ons that operate across system sectors, incorpora4ng business models addressing cost, security and sustainability. Develop global technology standards to op4mise and accelerate development and deployment while reducing costs Integrate with exis4ng and new electricity infrastructure considera4ons needed Policy and Regula4on Evolve electricity system regula4on to address changing system needs and take advantage of new technology leadership given by governments and private sector Address system wide and cross sector barriers to enable prac4cal sharing of smart grids costs and benefits. Address cyber security issues proac4vely through both regula4on and applica4on of best prac4ce. Develop smart customers through codifying best prac4ce, demonstrate and deploy engaging pricing policies and usage tools, protec4on systems and approaches for data treatment and implement social safety nets
Key Efforts Needed con4nued Building Consensus Accelerate educa4on and improve understanding of electricity system customers and stakeholders (including energy u4li4es, regulators and consumer advocates) Interna4onal Collabora4on Expand smart grid collabora4on; par4cularly related to standards and sharing demonstra4on findings in technology, policy, regula4on and business model development. Link with electricity system technology areas that are not exclusively focused on smart grids. Expand capacity building efforts in rapidly developing countries tailored to contexts such as rural electrifica4on, island systems and alterna4ve billing approaches.
Smart grids in emerging economies and developing countries Under the right condi4ons emerging economies could leap frog directly to smart grid infrastructure Targeted analysis and roadmaps created collabora4vely with developed and developing countries are required to determine specific needs and solu4ons in technology and regula4on. Developing and emerging economies can use smart grids to build from household electrifica7on to community and regional systems
