IEEE Smart Grid Vision for Computing: 2030 and Beyond provides the results of the IEEE
Computer Society Smart Grid Vision Project (CS-SGVP), chartered to develop Smart Grid visions
looking forward as far as 30 years into the future. Because the CS-SGVP team emphasized creative
thought leadership and “blue sky” thinking, the visions in the document were not driven toward a
common end concept solution. Instead, the document examines numerous potential branches for the
evolution of both Smart Grid operational concepts and computing technologies.
