Model of the practical knowledge collection and transfer on Smart Grid technologies through collaboration between the academic, industrial, and utility sectors in the Republic of Serbia

The aim of this paper is to present practical models for collecting and transferring knowledge from the field of smart grid technology through synergy of three main sectors: academic, industrial, and operational. Special attention is given to identify efficient ways of addressing complex engineering topics that include design, implementation and maintenance of smart grids, as well as on the need for clearly defined metrics that enable optimal knowledge transfer.
