Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Raaijmakers, J. (author)District heating systems are considered a feasible heating alternative to replace natural gas to mitigate emissions in cities. However, urban transitions are very complex because energy systems often operate in densely populated areas, which gives rise to all kinds of interdependencies in cities. These interdependencies can result in...journal article 2024

Hoicka, Christina E. (author), Das, Runa R. (author), Zhao, Yuxu (author), McMaster, Maria Louise (author), Lieu, J. (author), Wyse, Susan (author)The rapid diffusion of demand-side low-carbon innovations has been identified as a key strategy for maintaining average global temperature rise at or below 1.5 °C. Diffusion research tends to focus on a single sector, or single technology case study, and on a small scope of factors that influence innovation diffusion. This paper describes a...journal article 2021

Acosta, Cristina (author), Ortega, Mariana (author), Bunsen, Till (author), Koirala, B.P. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) are an emerging local energy system focusing on the collective use of distributed energy resources (DER). These socio-technical systems (STSs) have a high potential to advance the transition towards socially inclusive, environmentally-friendly energy systems and to stimulate the local economy. While...journal article 2018

Moncada Escudero, J.A. (author), Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author), Park Lee, E.H. (author), Okur, Ö. (author), Chakraborty, S.T. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)The EU has set ambitious targets for an energy transition. While research often focuses on technology, institutions or actors, a transition requires complex coordination and comprehensive analysis and design. We propose a framework accounting for technology, institutions and actors' perspective to design in socio-technical systems. We present...journal article 2017
