Smart Grid Innovation Strategy for Low-Carbon City Administration

Abstract:

Governments and scientists are concerned about the negative impacts of climate change on humanity in the foreseeable future, especially for the city sustainable development. Smart Grid is an important infrastructure service for developing the energy efficiency and low carbon society. The reliability and efficiency of our electrical grid can be enhanced by implementing smart grid technology; however this would require modifications to the current electrical system. The objective of this paper is to find out the innovation strategy for future smart grid by investigate, analyze and evaluate the related technologies and competitive information of different nations and industries. We presented the key information about smart grid development in the world. We also proposed four practical smart grid innovation strategies and innovation model for smart-green city policy making, construction and administration.
