dc.description.abstractIntegrating the perspective of smart grid users is the next challenge to be tackled in order to deploy fully the broad technical development of this new generation of electrical grids and improve the efficacy thereof. This is the conclusion reached by the social research developed within the framework of the European UPGRID project. This paper presents the main findings of the Spanish demonstration, working with domestic electricity consumers. The results indicate that these consumers know little about their contract and consumption of electricity, with regard to smart grids. In spite of this, there is some evidence that there is willingness among these consumers to make a change in their energy use towards more environmentally responsible behaviours, a tendency that needs to be developed so that consumers play an active role, which is essential in order to deliver optimal energy supply through smart grids. However, the results must be taken with a degree of caution, since, in spite of the major drive for recruitment, the sample was small and the experimental mortality between phases was high, so the research presented is exploratory in nature.en
dc.description.sponsorshipWe would like to thank the European Union for the funding it granted the UPGRID project ‘Real proven solutions to enable active demand and distributed generation flexible integration, through a fully controllable LOW Voltage and medium voltage distribution grid’ (H2020 Research and Innovation Programme, subsidy agreement number 646.531), the framework research project for this paper. We would also like to thank the different people and associations who collaborated with and participated in the social research conducted, without whom its development would not have been possible, and especially Iberdrola Distribución and EVE for providing us with the information required to conduct this research, and the Bilbao Federation of Neighbourhood Associations for their support and participation.
