摘要：The development of new technologies is faster than ever before in the human history, and as such there isan increased need of adaptation. In this sense, the present paper argues that current electrical grids shouldbe transformed into a more modern and sustainable grid – the smart grid. This article will review thecurrent situation from three main perspectives: economic, social and environmental. Each of thesedimensions is influenced by various factors and in this paper we will systematically evaluate them. Ouranalysis suggests that currently there is a series of benefits offered by smart grids attributable to eachdimension. Still, the level to which consumers will enjoy them is also conditioned by their willingness toembrace this technical change and transition to a new way of engaging with energy consumption through auser mediated relationship.
