Why Smart Grid matters?
• New Paradigms:– Distributed Energy Generation (DEG)– Real-time Data (RTD)– Demand Management (DM)
• Smart Grid: an electricity network that can intelligently integrate the actions of all users connected to in order to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies.

Problem Statement
• Cost-intensive• Not market-driven• Needs to policy intervention and regulation
• Research Question:“How policy interventions and regulations in electricity systems influence the governance of transition to smart
grids in urban energy systems?”

Problem Owners
• Strategic decision makers– Regulators, policy makers, mayors, big businesses and
utility companies• Practitioners– NGOs, producers, operators, distributors, etc.
• Researchers– Energy transition, urban planning, Complexity science,
etc.

How to approach the problem?
23 June 2014
Urban Studies
Multi-level Governance
Local Policies and agency
Competitiveness or growth
Urban Development & Sustainability
Urban Energy Infrastructure
City as a complex socio-technical system
Multi-level governance of a multi-actor system
Policy implementation for the emergence of
transition
Urban level
Complexity Theory
Socio-technical Systems
Multi-actor
Emergence
Sector/National level

Methodology
• Complex system approach– City as a multi-actor and socio-technical system
• Transition science– Intervention of policies and regulations in order to
make the transition happen in urban electricity infrastructure
• Agent-based modeling– Bottom-up approach, transition as an emergent
phenomenon

Next Steps
• Primary analysis of smart grids, application of micro-grids and smart metering roll-out in urban areas
• System and Actor analysis
• Modeling two different levels:– Technological level– Social level: proactive and reactive actors
• Policy selection, analysis and intervention23 June 2014
