Objectives of Joint EU-US Collaboration on Smart Grid
Make sure we speak the same language when it comes to Smart
Grid definitions, terminology and methodological approaches
Build common approaches in assessment framework for smart
grid advances, benefits, and impacts, as well as in information
sharing, leading to practical future opportunities for
transnational cooperation

What is a Smart Grid?EU - A Smart Grid is “an electricity network that can intelligently integrate the
behavior and actions of all users connected to it - generators, consumers and
those that do both - in order to efficiently ensure sustainable, economic and
secure electricity supply” [EC Smart Grid Task Force].
US - A Smart Grid uses digital technology to improve reliability, security, and
efficiency (both economic and energy) of the electric system from large
generation, through the delivery systems to electricity consumers and a
growing number of distributed-generation and storage resources [DOE System
Report].

Smart Grid Investments

Smart Grid InvestmentsRequired Smart Grid investments Funding for Smart
Grids development ($/Smart metering deployment
EU €1.5 trillion over 2007-2030 to renew the electrical system from generation to transmission and distribution [IEA 2008].This figure includes investments for Smart Grid implementation and for maintaining and expanding the current electricity system.
€184 million (FP6 and FP7 European funding for projects in the JRC catalogue) About €200 million from European Recovery Fund, ERDF, EERA.National funding: n/a
40 million already installed [JRC, 2011) 240 million by 2020 [Pike Research, 2011]
US $338 (€238) to 476 (€334) billion by 2030 [EPRI, 2011] The costs include the infrastructure to integrate distributed energy resources and consumer systems, but do not include generation costs, transmission expansion , and consumer’s smart appliances and devices
$9.8 (€-) billion in 2009 (US Recovery act; includes Federal and private sector funding)
8 million in 2011 [Smartmeters.com, 2011] 60 million by 2020 [Smartmeters.com, 2011]

SGIG Consumer Behavior Studies: Overview of Research Topics
Given the diversity of studies being undertaken as part of the SGIG program, we have a unique opportunity to evaluate issues in several
topical areas:
Research Topical Areas1. Customer Acceptance: What motivates customers to accept time-based rate programs?2. Customer Retention: What motivates customers to remain on time-based rate programs?3. Customer Response: Will customers respond, and if so by how much will they respond, to time-based rate programs?4. Role of enabling technology and information/education: Will customers respond, and if so by how much will they respond, to control and/or information technology and/or education alone?
