“…Moreover, it seems judicious to implement an assessment method that does not involve end-users (eg, ergonomic inspection) in order to identify the major usability problems of a version 1 of a prototype in order to propose recommendations to be implemented in a version 2 so as to limit the risk of rejection of the technology by the real end-users (Laumer & Eckhardt, 2012), as was done for the consumer-centered assessment of the web portal. The assessments of the VERTPOM-BANK® software and the private web portal also show that user tests and usage situations are necessary to access objective and subjective data on the relevance of functionalities, usability difficulties associated with usability issues, and UX-related dimensions (Loup-Escande & Burkhardt, 2019). More precisely, while the ergonomic inspection of the VERTPOM-BANK® software made it possible to provide elements of correction to optimize the interface initially, the user tests proved to be conducive to discussions with the operators, thus making it possible to identify their expectations and to better situate the context in which the software will ultimately be implemented.…”

Acting to preserve our planet as much as possible is no longer optional in today's world. To do so, Smart Grids within the framework of electrical networks - involving not only Distribution System Operators (DSOs), but also consumers in their Energy Demand Management (EDM) activity - represent an innovative and sustainable solution. However, the integration of Smart Grids into network management or into consumers' homes implies changes at several levels: organizational, social, psychological, etc. This is why it is essential to consider the human factor in the design of the technologies used in these Smart Grids. This paper proposes the integration of DSO operators and consumers within a user-centered evaluation approach in order to design Smart Grids that are sufficiently acceptable to users to enable Positive Energy Territories that produce more energy than they consume. This demonstration will be illustrated by the VERTPOM® project aiming at facilitating the use of renewable energies specific to each territory in order to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases and make the territories less dependent on traditional energies, and thus make Picardy (in France) a Positive Energy Territory. This paper presents the user-centered evaluation approach applied to three technologies (i.e., the VERTPOM-BANK® supervision tool intended for DSO operators, the private web portal and the IBox smart meter intended for households) from the upstream design phase to the implementation of the technologies in real-life situations.
