Abstract: Power smart grid is a new concept to solve the basic problems of the current power network with higher reliability and safety, self-healing, the ability to support renewable energy sources and reducing environmental impacts. Novelty and necessity of power smart grid knowledge have shown that utilization and acquisition of these technologies need a spectacular management. The purpose of this study is to identify and select key technologies for investment and acquisition. According to that, this paper uses technology mapping for identification and attractiveness-capability matrix for evaluation and selection of appropriate technologies in Iran power distribution company (IPDC). Finally, 26 critical technologies have been identified and prioritized as strategic plan of IPDC. The proposed methodology is the resulted technology strategy in the IPDC.
