The paper tries to address the question of whether the smart grid solution can be transferred internationally, and explore the transferability of the smart grid across countries with three national comparisons: USA, Europe and China. A qualitative content analysis in which data (the academic papers) are coded in preparation for comparison and interpretation is chosen to find the similarities and differences of smart grid development in different national contexts. Trough a comparative analysis of the smart grid development in USA, Europe and China, this paper conducts a transferable framework of smart grid solution with global and local features.
