In October 2011 Danish Ministry for Climate, Energy and Building published the “Main report - The Smart Grid Network’s recommendations”.
Following part-recommendation 25 of the Ministry’s main report, a research network has submitted a road map for Smart Grid research focusing on:
-
Strengthening and marketing of research infrastructure to positioning Denmark as a global hub for Smart Grid development
-
Strengthening of basic research into complex relationships of electric systems with large quantities of independent parties
-
Increased awareness/understanding of consumer behavior and socio-economic factors.
The road map contributes in identifying needed focus efforts to strengthen research, development and demonstration within the 2020 time frame.
The research network has been conducted by DTU Electrical Engineering, Center for Electric Power and Energy with participation of Aalborg University, Aarhus University, University of Southern Denmark, Technical University of Denmark, Alexandra Institute, DI Confederation of Danish Industry, Danish Energy Association, Energinet.dk, Ministry for Climate, Energy and Building, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, and the Danish Energy Agency.
