N2 - The electricity sector is increasingly characterized by the use of Information Technology (IT) for the electricity grid, leading to its transformation into a smart grid. Various pilot smart grid initiatives exist, which have already showcased their technical feasibility. Nevertheless, for the needs of informed decision-making, a subsequent valuation support of those initiatives for all involved stakeholders is also essential. Considering the importance and complexity of such a valuation, the authors propose a MOdel-based, multi-perspectiVe method for the valuation of INitiatives in the smart Grid (MOVING). MOVING complements well-established smart grid valuation methods with conceptual modeling, to cater for a systematic analysis of actor goals, value exchanges, and IT. They illustrate the MOVING method with a well-documented smart grid initiative called NRGcoin, which is a blockchain-based incentive mechanism to encourage local production and consumption of renewable electricity.
