Download and read online ebook Social Impacts of Smart Grids write by Wadim Strielkowski. This book was released on 2019-10-22. Social Impacts of Smart Grids available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Social Impacts of Smart Grids: The Future of Smart Grids and Energy Market Design explores the significant, unexplored societal consequences of our meteoric evolution towards intelligent, responsive and sustainable power generation and distribution systems—the so-called ‘smart grid’. These consequences include new patterns of consumption behavior, systems planning under increasing uncertainty, and the ever- growing complexities involved. The work covers the historical impact of the transformation, examines the changing role of production and consumption behavior, articulates the principles and options for socially responsible smart grid power market design, and explores social acceptance of the smart grid. Where relevant, it examines adjacent literatures from P2P electricity markets, electric vehicles, smart homes and smart cities, and related ‘internet of energy’ developments. Finally, it provides insights into mitigating the likely social consequences of our integrated low-carbon energy future. Evaluates the connections between the concept of sustainability and the social impacts of the smart grids Analyzes emerging trends in smart grids connected with trends towards the sharing economy Investigates environmental degradation awareness and environmental stewardship goals associated with smart grids Explores how to mitigate social challenges with effective smart grid power market design Integrates energy stewardship and social acceptance literatures into the discussion of the smart grid

Download and read online ebook Smart Grids from a Global Perspective write by Anne Beaulieu. This book was released on 2016-02-15. Smart Grids from a Global Perspective available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book presents a cross-disciplinary approach to smart grids, offering an invaluable basis for understanding their complexity and potential, and for discussing their technical, legal, economic, societal, psychological and security aspects. Smart grids are a complex phenomenon involving new, active roles for consumers and prosumers, novel social, political and cultural practices, advanced ICT, new markets, security of supply issues, the informational turn in energy, valuation of assets and investments, technological innovation and (de)regulation. Furthermore, smart grids offer new interfaces, in turn creating hybrid fields: with the increasing use of electric vehicles and electric transportation, smart grids represent the crossroads of energy and mobility. While the aim is to achieve more sustainable production, transportation and use of energy, the importance of smart grids actually has less to do with electricity, heat or gas, and far more with transforming the infrastructure needed to deliver energy, as well as the roles of its owners, operators and users. The immediate goal is to contribute positively to a sustainable world society. The chapters are revised and expanded texts based upon lectures delivered at the Groningen Energy Summer School 2014. Questions for further discussion at the end of each chapter highlight the key themes that emerge. The book offers an indispensable resource for researchers, professionals and companies in the power supply industry, and for students seeking to broaden and deepen their understanding of smart grids.

Scientific Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Technology, grade: 1.33, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH, course: USC: Society and Technology, language: English, abstract: The following paper presents the ‘Smart-Grid VDAR’ technology presented at CeBIT, Hannover. The idea and structure of the technology is subsequently introduced followed by a social analysis of the technology. Some of the relevant groups identified were: consumers, producers, environmentalists and the government. High installation costs and health concerns were addressed as the main problems concerned with the use of technology. Finally, the aim of European Union to adopt a smart grid within the next decade is highlighted which is an indication of an overall positive outlook towards the technology.
