Model-based valuation of smart grid initiatives: Foundations, open issues, requirements, and a research outlook |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
To support the value assessment of technically feasible smart grid initiatives there exist several valuation methods. To determine whether those methods address all concerns relevant for smart grid valuation, we carry out a literature analysis aiming at (1) identifying existing valuation methods and the steps they propose, (2) identifying important valuation considerations, and (3) confronting these considerations with artifacts proposed by the existing valuation methods to identify open issues, requirements, and remaining challenges. Based on the conducted analysis we identify, among others, the following main deficiencies: (1) only a limited scope of concerns relevant to valuation is covered, particularly a systematic consideration of stakeholders goals, value exchange scenarios, and the IT infrastructure is lacking; and (2) a lack of instruments dedicated to fostering accessibility of valuation, in terms of establishing a shared understanding, communicating results, or actively involving different stakeholders in the process. Based on the findings, we suggest the application of conceptual modeling as an instrument to address the identified deficiencies. Therefore, we reflect on the role that current modeling approaches can play in smart grid valuation. |
