Abstract

Social risk is one of the important topics in the world today. It is constantly being discussed by scholars. As the largest developing country, China’s analysis of the social risks brought about by the development of smart grids is worth learning from. However, few Chinese scholars have explored the social risks involved in the emerging concept of the Smart Grid (SG). Due to the close integration of smart grids with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, this paper intends to provide a general direction and logic for the social risks of SGs by discussing the social risks brought by emerging technologies. Therefore, this paper uses CiteSpace to conduct author cooperation network analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and keyword clustering analysis on Chinese social risk literature based on the CNKI database. The keywords are sorted into five categories, namely risk categories, risk sources, governance tools or means, results or purposes, and related terms. The risk sources are further subdivided into three categories: technical, social issues, and events. Then the technical part is carried out, combined with the characteristics of the SG to explore its impact mechanism on social risks and put forward corresponding countermeasures.
