Book Configuring the Urban Smart Grid

Download or read book Configuring the Urban Smart Grid written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of challenges of energy security, decarbonization, resilience, and the replacement of aging infrastructure systems, federal, state, and local actors are facilitating the development of smart electricity networks to transition towards a more sustainable electricity system. In the United States, development of "smart grids" is being pursued as a national policy mandate and goal, promising that the deployment of smart grid technologies -- referring in general to digital information and communication technologies that sense, monitor, control and manage the electric grid -- will make electricity systems more environmentally sustainable and reliable, and at the same time, provide opportunities for growth and innovation. This dissertation examines and analyzes three interconnected issues relating to these sociotechnical changes in electricity infrastructure: the material and discursive construction of the smart grid, urban smart grid experimentation, and the mobility of smart grid models and knowledge. A conceptual framework is proposed for investigating sociotechnical transitions that accounts for dimensions of power and politics that are commonly overlooked in conventional analysis, and highlights how governance regimes shape and are shaped by sociotechnical change. Utilizing Foucauldian discourse analysis and relational comparative case study methodology, this dissertation analyzes the development of the smart grid as a governmental program highlighting its rationalities, techniques, and imagined subjects. The findings of these analyses suggest that the transition to a smarter grid involves much more than top-down policy mandates; significant urban experimentation is involved, as well as inter-city learning that is shaped by local political economy and broader political rationalities. This dissertation also argues for a synthesis between policy mobilities and sociotechnical transitions theory, highlighting through case studies how urban smart grid experiments are influenced by experiences and knowledge generated from "vanguard" cities. The conclusion of this dissertation is that the creation of the smart grid is far from a purely technical infrastructural intervention, and instead, requires significant changes in the everyday social practices and conduct of energy consumers, while also reconfiguring the city, engaging in a material politics in order to govern energy transitions.

  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2015-02-26
  • ISBN : 1316194825
  • Pages : 217 pages

Download or read book Smart Grid R Evolution written by Jennie C. Stephens and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'smart grid' has become a catch-all phrase to represent the potential benefits of a revamped and more sophisticated electricity system that can fulfil several societal expectations related to enhanced energy efficiency and sustainability. Smart grid promises to enable improved energy management by utilities and by consumers, to provide the ability to integrate higher levels of variable renewable energy into the electric grid, to support the development of microgrids, and to engage citizens in energy management. However, it also comes with potential pitfalls, such as increased cybersecurity vulnerabilities and privacy risks. Although discussions about smart grid have been dominated by technical and economic dimensions, this book takes a sociotechnical systems perspective to explore critical questions shaping energy system transitions. It will be invaluable for advanced students, academic researchers, and energy professionals in a wide range of disciplines, including energy studies, energy policy, environmental science, sustainability science and environmental engineering.

Download or read book A Smarter Greener Grid written by Kevin B. Jones and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pressing need for a smarter and greener grid is obvious, but how this goal should be achieved is much less clear. This book clearly defines the environmental promise of the smart grid and describes the policies necessary for fully achieving the environmental benefits of the digital energy revolution. The United States' electrical grid is an antique. It was built to serve a 20th-century economy and designed in an era when the negative environmental impacts of electricity production were poorly understood. It must be upgraded and modernized. The proposed solution is a "smart grid"—a network of new digital technologies, equipment, and controls that can respond quickly to the public's changing energy needs by facilitating two-way communication between the utility and consumers. This book explains the environmental benefit of a smart grid, examines case studies of existing smart grids, and identifies the legal and regulatory policy hurdles that must be overcome to fully realize the smart grid's benefits. Based on six diverse organizations' experience as "early adopters" in the digital energy revolution, the authors explore how a smart electric grid offers real promise for supercharging energy efficiency, democratizing demand response, electrifying transportation, preparing for ubiquitous distributed clean energy technologies, and automating the distribution system. Against the backdrop of climate change and continuing economic uncertainty, setting a path for environmental improvement and upgrading our electric grid with new digital technologies and associated smart policies is more critical than ever before.

Book Digitally Disrupted Space

Download or read book Digitally Disrupted Space written by Anastasia Panori and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitally Disrupted Space: Proximity and New Development Opportunities for Regions and Cities develops an analytical framework of the key structural elements in relation to digital space and its impact on existing spatial interactions at a regional and urban level. It puts forth the argument that digital space is a new form of space acting complementary to existing spatial structures and creating novel interactions between and/or within them. It explores how digital space enhances connected intelligence by combining knowledge-intensive activities, cooperation between organisational and institutional actors, and smart environments of knowledge creation and diffusion. Readers will better understand the connections between digital transformations and traditional paths of regional development, as well as underlying mechanisms fostering externalities and proximity emergence, triggering effective collaboration between the digital and other expressions of space. The first set of chapters (Part I) focuses on space disruptions in a digitalising world. The key notions of space and digital space are defined, alongside the main concepts that form it in relation to space dynamics, space connectors and space routines. The following group of chapters (Part II) discuss aspects related to the digital space reshaping transition processes, exploring the role of digital space under the multi-level perspective and the digital space in the forefront of twin transition. Finally, the last three chapters (Part III) focus on digital space challenges and opportunities for regional development. A specific focus is given in three key areas of regional development and the ways in which digital space can enhance them, including Productivity, Resilience and Inclusion. Academics and researchers will find insights into how cities and regions can adopt this new developmental paradigm; how to organise connected intelligence within regional and urban environments; and how to sustain productivity, resilience and inclusion through the use of digital space. Digital transformation managers in the public sector and entrepreneurs in private organisations can leverage the opportunities offered from this transition process, not only by identifying actions and strategies for boosting their productivity, but also for making them more resilient during socio-economic, environmental and health crises. And professionals and policymakers in urban and regional development will find concrete guidance about the design, development and management of the digital space and the creation of connected intelligence environments at the urban and regional level. Thoroughly analyzes the role of digital space to complement existing structures and generate new interactions and networks, revealing the digital elements that are essential for the rise of new dynamics, connectors and routines Positions the digital space emergence under the framework of a multi-level transition perspective, shedding light on how digital space reshapes transition processes Explores the potential challenges and opportunities arising from the emergence of the digital space for regional development
