摘要: While the revolution in telecommunications has been driven by rapid technical change, this paper argues that technology thus far played a more modest role now sweeping electric power industry. However, it there are number of new technologies on horizon could have profound impacts future structure and operation How these will evolve is unclear. Some push system toward greater centralization, some lead to dramatic decentralization, result much coupling between gas networks. The evolution networked energy likely be highly path dependent. Because shrinking research budgets, relatively short time constant markets, risk full social benefits not realized. closes with proposal for mechanism produce investments basic needed develop promising timely fashion allow informed choices.
