TL;DR: In this article, three types of technologies are currently fighting the battle for standard dominance: combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification, and the relative importance (weights) of these factors were calculated.

TL;DR: Studies of a subcomponent of the smart grid for a standard means of interface between the smart meter and the concentration point for collecting meter data show that experts believe that Power line communication has a high chance of becoming dominant and that the most important factor affecting standard success is technological superiority.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify five groups of value conflicts in the smart electricity grid: consumer values versus competitiveness, IT enabled systems versus data protection, fair spatial distributions of energy systems versus system performance, market performance versus local trading, and individual access versus economies of scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore capability conflicts in the deployment of decentralised energy systems and identify the affected population, and use agent-based modelling and the scenario discovery technique to identify capability conflicts and the populations that may be affected.

TL;DR: The use of modelling and simulation is explored, along empirical cases, is a way to incorporate timing and strategic action delays in platform competition research, and the multi-level research agenda this opens up is explored.
