Abstract

Standards are critically important for smartening the grid because they affect the interoper-ability, compatibility, efficiency, and realisation of new technologies and services. In this paper we assess the contribution of EU funded Horizon 2020 projects to adapting or initiating new Smart Grid standards. We provide a comprehensive overview of the Smart Grid standardisation ecosystem and identify opportunities for researchers and innovators to participate in stan-dardisation activities. We identify 225 Horizon 2020 Smart Grid projects and explore which have contributed to the creation or revision of Smart Grid standards. We identify the type of standardisation activities undertaken and explore the factors that influence engagement. We have found that 21 % of EU Horizon 2020 Smart Grid projects engage in some level of standardisation activities. Of these projects the majority (60 %) are involved in understanding standards, 31 % actively engage in influencing standards, while 8 % successfully participate in elaborating new standards. Our study demonstrates that despite the complexity of the Smart Grid Standardisation ecosystem, EU funded researchers and innovators play an important role in the standardisation process.

智能电网标准化：欧盟地平线 2020 项目的贡献与机遇

标准对电网智能化至关重要，因为它们会影响新技术和服务的互操作性、兼容性、效率和实现。在本文中，我们将评估欧盟资助的 "地平线 2020 "项目对调整或启动新智能电网标准的贡献。我们全面概述了智能电网标准化生态系统，并确定了研究人员和创新人员参与标准化活动的机会。我们确定了 225 个 "地平线 2020 "智能电网项目，并探讨了哪些项目有助于创建或修订智能电网标准。我们确定了标准化活动的类型，并探讨了影响参与的因素。我们发现，21% 的欧盟地平线 2020 智能电网项目参与了一定程度的标准化活动。在这些项目中，大多数（60%）参与了解标准，31%积极参与影响标准，8%成功参与制定新标准。我们的研究表明，尽管智能电网标准化生态系统十分复杂，但欧盟资助的研究人员和创新人员在标准化过程中发挥了重要作用。
