Reconfiguring energy flows: energy grid-lock and the role of regions in shaping electricity infrastructure networks

Figures & data

Table 1. The dimensions of technological zones (after Barry, 2006).

Metrological zones – common measurement standards to make information comparable;

Infrastructural zones – common connection standards so that systems of production, transmission and communication can be integrated;

Zones of qualification – processes of transparency and evaluation, to ensure that the qualities of objects and practices can be assessed, against more or less common criteria.
