Multi-disciplinary Strategic Research Agenda for ICT 4 Energy Efficiency
The Strategic Research Agenda will suggest research priorities in the domain of ICT for Energy Efficiency across several industry sectors. The sectors especially considered are electricity grids, manufacturing, buildings and lighting. It is expected that the identified research topics will be relevant also to other sectors. It should be noted that different sectors will invariably represent different maturity levels with respect to the technologies outlined, however the aim is to produce a holistic cross-sectorial view.
The document includes 6 'roadmap' tables based on the 6 main categories and 21 sub-categories of the REViSITE SMARTT taxonomy.
Each table describes briefly:
- State of the art
- Short-term research priorities (~3 years to industrial usage; adaptation, testing & take up of new technologies, etc.)
- Medium-term research priorities (~6 years to industrial usage; development of new applications and incremental technologies, etc.)
- Long-term research priorities (~9 years to industrial usage; radical technical developments, etc.)
- Vision (~desirable future situation based on currently foreseen developments)
