ABSTRACT

Centralised electricity grids around the world are transitioning towards greater renewable distributed storage, and pivotal to transition is the relationship between prosumers and utilities. Evidence of this changing relationship is observed through a three-year (2016–2019) Australian smart grid pilot. This study investigates the precursors of technology acceptance of smart batteries, because a lack of acceptance presents risks to implementation. We draw on: scholarly literature, government documents, interviews and observations of the pilot implementation for a qualitative, exploratory, longitudinal and thematic analysis. We outline four findings: Firstly, we suggest a reframing of the influence of agency in IoT-systems: The concept of ‘behaviour’ might be conditionally substituted for ‘agency’ in the case of smart grids. Secondly, we reconfirm prosumers require different agency-focused engagement than is currently offered if private investment in batteries is to be encouraged. Thirdly, prosumers do not always desire increased agency – there is a trade-off between agency and trust under the duress of high system complexity. Finally, we extend a variation of the technology acceptance model (known as RITAM) to include Perceived Trust, Agency and Complexity in relation to smart grids, and note these acceptance precursors pose both a risk and an enhancer to smart grid implementation.

以产消者为主导的向未来智能电网过渡的接受前兆

摘要

世界各地的集中式电网正在向更大的可再生分布式存储过渡,而过渡的关键是产消者与公用事业公司之间的关系。通过为期三年(2016-2019 年)的澳大利亚智能电网试点,可以观察到这种变化关系的证据。本研究调查了智能电池技术接受的前兆,因为缺乏接受会给实施带来风险。我们利用:学术文献、政府文件、访谈和对试点实施的观察,进行定性、探索性、纵向和主题分析。我们概述了四个发现:首先,我们建议重新定义代理在物联网系统中的影响:在智能电网的情况下,“行为”的概念可能有条件地替代“代理”。其次,我们再次确认,如果要鼓励对电池的私人投资,产消者需要不同于目前提供的以机构为中心的参与。第三,产消者并不总是希望增加代理——在高系统复杂性的胁迫下,代理和信任之间存在权衡。最后,我们扩展了技术接受模型(称为 RITAM),包括与智能电网相关的感知信任、代理和复杂性,并注意这些接受前兆对智能电网的实施既构成风险又增强了作用。
