MATCH
Markets – Actors – Technologies: A comparative study of smart grid solutions
1 Feb 2016 - 31 Oct 2018
Objectives
The overall objective of MATCH is to expand our knowledge on how to design and implement comprehensive smart grid solutions that take into account the complexity of factors influencing the effectiveness and success of smart grid initiatives targeted at small consumers. The study is cross-disciplinary and based on detailed studies of current smart grid demonstrations in Norway, Austria and Denmark. Through comparative analysis across cases and countries, the study identifies key factors related to technology, market and actor involvement in developing integrated solutions that “work in practice”. Also, the project will apply energy system analysis and scenarios to discuss the wider energy system implications of upscaling the studied cases and solutions.
