Current imaginaries of urban smart grid technologies are painting attractive pictures of the kinds of energy futures that are desirable and attainable in cities. Making claims about the future city, the socio-technical imaginaries related to smart grid developments unfold the power to guide urban energy policymaking and implementation practices. This paper analyses how urban smart grid futures are being imagined and co-produced in the city of Berlin, Germany. It explores these imaginaries to show how the politics of Berlin’s urban energy transition are being driven by techno-optimistic visions of the city’s digital modernisation and its ambitions to become a ‘smart city’. The analysis is based on a discourse analysis of relevant urban policy and other documents, as well as interviews with key stakeholders from Berlin’s energy, ICT and urban development sectors, including key experts from three urban laboratories for smart grid development and implementation in the city. It identifies three dominant imaginaries that depict urban smart grid technologies as (a) environmental solution, (b) economic imperative and (c) exciting experimental challenge. The paper concludes that dominant imaginaries of smart grid technologies in the city are grounded in a techno-optimistic approach to urban development that are foreclosing more subtle alternatives or perhaps more radical change towards low-carbon energy systems.

The issues of prospective operation of the city electric networks in the conditions of the MART GRID, which will be quite different as compared to the traditional understanding and approaches, are under consideration. This requires the selection and application of appropriate analytical criteria and approaches to assessment, analysis and control of the networks. With this regard the following criteria are recommended: in a particular case – the optimal (minimal) technological electric power consumption (losses), while in general – economically reasonable (minimal) cost value of electric power transmission. It should be also borne in mind that contemporary urban networks are actively saturated with distributed sources of small generation that have radically changed the structure of electrical networks; therefore, account for such sources is an absolutely necessary objective of management regimes of urban electric networks, both traditional and in associated with the SMART GRID. A case of the analysis and control of urban electric 10 kV networks with distributed small sources of generation has been developed and presented according to the theoretical criterion of minimum relative active power losses in the circuit as a control case. The conducted research makes it possible to determine the magnitude of the tolerance network mode from the point of the theoretical minimum.

This is a descriptive and exploratory study which aimed at identifying preliminarily the level of technology readiness in Catalan-GO, from a sample of 368 individuals. The study used the Technology Readiness Index (TRI) technique, proposed by Parasuraman and Colby (2002). After analysis completion, it was found that, although the structure of TRI had been different from the original study, it was possible to verify the measure applicability in the context of the city, to draw the profile of the sample investigated, as well as to identify its technology readiness level, which had presented characteristics of “Pioneer” consumers, besides to raise general aspects for the realization of future causal or conclusive research.

Smart Grid Technology

Governments and scientists are concerned about the negative impacts of climate change on humanity in the foreseeable future, especially for the city sustainable development. Smart Grid is an important infrastructure service for developing the energy efficiency and low carbon society. The reliability and efficiency of our electrical grid can be enhanced by implementing smart grid technology; however this would require modifications to the current electrical system. The objective of this paper is to find out the innovation strategy for future smart grid by investigate, analyze and evaluate the related technologies and competitive information of different nations and industries. We presented the key information about smart grid development in the world. We also proposed four practical smart grid innovation strategies and innovation model for smart-green city policy making, construction and administration.

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk melihat sejauh mana tingkat kesiapan Kota Ambon untuk mendukung pelaksanaan Maluku sebagai Lumbung Ikan Nasional (M-LIN) yang dianalisis dengan metode RAPFISH yang dimodifikasi menggunakan Multi Dimensional Scalling (MDS).   Metode penelitian digunakan yaitu metode survey.  Data yang digunakan terdiri dari data primer dan sekunder.  Pengambilan data primer dilakukan terhadap responden melalui wawancara dengan menggunakan kuesioner.  Data sekunder berupa laporan diperoleh dari berbagai instansi pemerintah dan perguruan tinggi.  Responden terdiri dari pelaku usaha, Pemerintah Provinsi Maluku (Badan Perencana Daerah, Dinas Kelautan Perikanan), Pemerintah Kota (Badan Perencana Daerah, Dinas Perikanan dan Kelautan).  Berdasarkan hasil analisis secara umum Kota Ambon masuk kategori siap sebagai daerah pendukung M-LIN dimana dari 6 dimensi hanya dimensi ekologi dan kelembagaan dan kebijakan yang masuk kategori cukup siap. Untuk meningkatkan kesiapan di Kota Ambon maka dimensi kelembagaan dan kebijakan menjadi dimensi yang paling utama untuk diperhatikan agar jelas mengenai keberlanjutan program M-LIN ini selanjutnya.   Dari hasil analisis yang dilakukan berimplikasi pada peningkatan sinkronisasi dan harmonisasi seluruh pelaku dan pemangku kepentingan  dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan yang terkait dengan program Maluku sebagai Lumbung Ikan Nasional.  Selain itu juga perlu menyiapkan kebijakan berupa peraturan baik peraturan presiden (Perpres) maupun Keputusan Menteri (Kepmen) KP yang mendukung pelaksanaan program.  Title: Evaluation of Readiness To Support The City Ambon Maluku As “Lumbung Ikan Nasional”This paper was aimed to evaluate the readiness level of Ambon city serving as buffer for Maluku sebagai Lumbung Ikan Nasional (M-LIN) which analyzed with modified RAPFISH method using Multi Dimensional Scalling (MDS). The study uses survei as the data collection method. This study used primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through interviews using a set of questionnaires. Examples of secondary data were report or study reports from universities and local governement offices. The respondents are fishery business entities, provincial and district  fishery offices, provincial planning office. This study finds that in general City Ambon is ready as support system for M-LIN. However, only two out of six categories of readiness are in good condition for readiness. The ready indicators  are the governance and policies put in place in Ambon. These two indicators serve as key aspect insuring the sustainability of M-LIN program.

Method Analysis

Abstract COVID-19 was initially discovered in China on December 31, 2019. One of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in several countries includes the enactment of policies to restrict human activities which caused economic problems for SMEs. The government efforts to tackle this issue are various such as launched a smartphone application for SMEs. Sonjo Pangan (Sonjo Food) refers to a movement initiated by a group of people expecting to help SMEs who are vulnerable to COVID-19. Sonjo assisted SMEs to sell their product online. This research aims to measure the digital readiness level of Sonjo Pangan SMEs and to explore how Sonjo Pangan helps SMEs during pandemic. Data had been collected by online questionnaire shared in their main media platform such as WhatsApp Group. Analysis was conducted by mix-method analysis. The result of this research indicated that Sonjo Pangan assisted SMEs to distribute their product in the city, intercity, even inter-island by WA group and through a free online platform. Sonjo Pangan SMEs thus obtained the advantages such as improvements in technology skills and development of social capital.
