Participation in IEA ISGAN Annex 7 Smart Grid Transitions: Institutions, Markets and Consumers
The project will improve the understanding among stakeholders - industry, government, nongovernmental organizations, and research - of what policies, institutions, market designs and consumer incentives can help the development and deployment smart grid technologies, providing a clearer vision and coherence of the transition to a smart, flexible and sustainable energy system.
Project description
The objective of Annex 7 in the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) International Smart GridAction Network (ISGAN) is to investigate smart grid transition processes in society and
institutional including market changes associated with these. Using a transition framework, the
Annex intends to gather information and knowledge from a cross-disciplinary field of social
sciences, e.g. innovation studies, economics and sociology. The Annex is complementing
technology oriented smart grid activities and can make important added value for policy makers,
strategic planners, and other stakeholders in the smart grid field.
The aim of the project is to enable and strengthen Danish participation in EIA-ISGAN Annex 7 and
to help disseminate knowledge on smart grids between Danish stakeholders and the ISGAN Annex
7 international community. The project includes participation in the international Annex 7
meetings. In addition to bringing Danish perspectives to International smart grid discussions, the
project will disseminate information from its international and domestic activities to Danish
stakeholders. This is done through an annual Danish smart grid transition seminar and through
presentations at other meetings. We expect that the Danish contribution will offer valuable new
insight, be a good activity injection to the Annex, and support dialogue about future ISGAN efforts.
