the pairwise comparison of countries such as Finland and the United states shows that Finland has better scores for the individual indicators Internet (weight 1/8),

telephones (weight 1/8), electricity (weight 1/8) and university (weight 1/8) . Thus the score for Finland is 4*1/8=0. 5,

which excludes telephones and electricity, produces a ranking that is identical to the original TAI for 18 of the 23 countries.

Thereafter, in a parsimonious approach, the indicators on telephones and electricity would be excluded, as they do not have an impact on either the variance of the TAI scores or on the TAI ranking.

which is reflected in the inferiority of the indicator telephones and electricity, while others (e g. Internet and patents) are highly influential on the variance of the TAI scores.

A Comparison of Smart Grid Technologies_ 2012.pdf

and utilities to control a number of appliances within a residential home based on price signals 25.

G. Communication systems Self-healing systems have been sought to be incorporated into power systems, particularly as the complexity and interactions of several market players significantly increase the risk for large-scale failures.

Several communication protocols and media are currently under various stages of R&d for implementation in smart grids.

Ethernet, digital subscriber line, and optic fiber, which are already in use for the Internet; Zigbee and WIFI,

which are used already for HAN applications; Wimax, a super WIFI, with a much higher range;

and 3g, LTE/4g, and other mobile telephone communication protocols. V. COMPARATIVE METRICS FOR THE U s. VERSUS EUROPE Making the grid smarter requires considering all aspects of smart grids as part of the decision-making process.

This section compares the practices in the U s. and the EU on several topics for the development of smart grid technologies.

A. Legislation in the U s. The legislation that led to the present-day U s. Smart Grid Initiative might be traced back to the 1970s,

when deregulation was introduced initially as a direct result of the Arabic oil embargo that escalated a nationwide energy crisis.

The idea behind it is that web platforms and the new forms of interactions promote value generating collaborations and social progress,

These resources are for internet platforms that are digital open source and open hardware environments supporting social innovation by empowering

such as scientific papers, conference proceedings, presentations, internet postings, books. There are several elements affecting patent quality,

Yet, the internet economy, globalisation and industrial cycles have been producing a growing number of patent applications.

Box 3. The LTE patent pool A good example of a complex patent pool is the LTE (Long-term evolution) pool

which is on the way to becoming Next Generation Standard for mobile broadband communications 45 mobile operators worldwide have announced already that they will adopt it.

LTE has been standardised by 3gpp, and more than 350 companies have participated in the working groups. LTE IPR declarations on the ETSI database are 1, 860 as of January 11th, 2010.

The following graph exemplifies the number of IPR declarations on the LTE project. Figure 16.
