Abstract

Due to its potentially disruptive nature, the smart grid can be viewed from both a transformational and innovation system perspective. In order to synthesize these, a research strategy that finds more diverse reasons for success and failure using the technological innovation system "TIS" is used. Analysis with a transformative perspective. This study examines the development of innovative smart grid technology. The main research topics are as follows. What systemic and transformational errors will be revealed by integrating TIS with transformational perspectives in the development of smart grid innovations in the Netherlands from 2001 to 2021? Connecting and finding both "system error" and "transformation error" should resolve the issue. Events external to the smart grid TIS that interfere with the synchronization and coordination of TIS activities are a common cause of transformation errors. The findings show that the smart grid innovation system has gone through three phases and suffers from many structural and transformational deficiencies. His TIS functions such as justification and dissemination of knowledge were only partially performed. As such, the end-user role has received little attention, and smart grid innovation is not yet considered a mainstream technology in the energy transition. The study concludes with recommendations for further investigation, including whether the methodology is suitable in different settings and when used with different power system advances. It examines the development of smart grids in the Netherlands from 2000 to 2021 and examines the failures of smart grid innovation systems at systemic and transformational levels. Neither market nor legitimacy is created despite political support. Knowledge transfer between entrepreneurs and end users is poor. Hinders TIS development and resolution of conversion errors
