Assessing the societal impact of smart grids: outcomes of a collaborative resea...
Ferreira, Paula; Rocha, A.; Araújo, M.; Afonso, João L.; Antunes, Carlos H.; Lopes, M. A. R.; Catalão, João P. S.; Lopes, João P.; Osório, Gerardo J.Assessing the societal contributions of research is not simple, especially for research projects that produce outputs with low technology readiness levels. This paper analyses the potential societal impacts of research resulting in technologies with low maturity but with the potential to be further developed in the long-term. It uses the case of the ESGRIDS (Enhancing Smart Grids for Sustainability) collaborati...
