Social Practice Theory on Tour

چکیده
Smart grids are promoted to resolve challenges of electricity production and consumption. Social studies of smart grids have been undertaken that utilise practice theory to explore and gain insight on the development of smart grids with a particular focus on households. This perspective usefully describes practices in which electricity is used in households. However, reducing smart grid ecologies to everyday household practices may limit the potential of practice theory to understand development of smart grids. Thus in this paper we explored the potential of practice theory to account for practices performed by actors associated with smart grids beyond households. Key words— Smart grids, practice theory, beyond households.
