Smart grids can linkelectricity system stakeholderobjectivesSocietalFinancialRegulatoryand policyTechnologyKEY POINT: Smart grids providean opportunity to link societal, financial,technology and regulatory and policy objectives.Purpose, process andstructure of the roadmapTo provide guidance to government and industrystakeholders on the technology pathways neededto achieve energy security, economic growth andenvironmental goals, the IEA is developing a seriesof global low-carbon energy roadmaps covering arange of technologies. The roadmaps are guidedby the IEA Energy Technology Perspectives BLUE MapScenario, which aims to achieve a 50% reductionin energy-related CO 2emissions by 2050. Eachroadmap represents international consensus onmilestones for technology development, legal andregulatory needs, investment requirements, publicengagement and outreach, and internationalcollaboration.The Smart Grid Roadmap aims to:zzzzzzIncrease understanding among a range ofstakeholders of the nature, function, costs andbenefits of smart grids.Identify the most important actions required todevelop smart grid technologies and policies thathelp to attain global energy and climate goals.Develop pathways to follow and milestones totarget based on regional conditions.The roadmap was compiled with the help ofcontributions from a wide range of interestedparties, including electricity utilities, regulators,technology and solution providers, consumerTable 2.

The ENARD/IEAworkshops are part of the implementing agreement work plan and, although highly complementary, not directly tied to the smart gridroadmap initiative.The IEA Grid Integration of Variable Renewables (GIVAR) project is a multi-year initiative that is assessing and quantifying approachesto large-scale deployment of variable renewable generation technologies.CERT refers to the IEA Committee on Energy Research and Technology.8 Technology Roadmaps Smart grids© OECD/IEA, 2010
advocates, finance experts and governmentinstitutions. In parallel with its analysis andmodelling, the Smart Grid Roadmap teamhas hosted and participated in several expertworkshops (Table 2).This roadmap does not attempt to cover everyaspect of smart grids and should be regarded as awork in progress. As global analysis improves, newdata will provide the basis for updated scenarios andassumptions. More important, as the technology,market and regulatory environments evolve,additional tasks will come to light. The broad natureof smart grids requires significant collaborationwith other technology areas, including transportelectrification, energy storage, generation andend-use. The roadmap provides links to furtherbackground information and reading.The roadmap is organised into seven sections.The first looks at the challenges facing grids todayand the benefits that smart grids offer, includingelectricity reliability. The second describes thecurrent deployment status of smart grids, alongwith smart grid costs and savings and marketand regulatory considerations. The third sectionoutlines a vision for smart grid deployment to2050 based on the Energy Technology Perspectives2010 (ETP 2010) BLUE Map Scenario, including ananalysis of regional needs. The fourth and fifthsections examine smart grid technologies andpolicies, and propose actions and milestones fortheir development and implementation. The sixthsection discusses current and future internationalcollaboration, while the seventh section presentsan action plan and identifies the next steps thatneed to be taken.Introduction9© OECD/IEA, 2010
