 Transition in the context of smart grids refers to the systemic reconfiguration of a socio-technical system, involving simultaneous changes in technologies, institutions, actor roles, and cultural expectations over extended time periods.((Markard, J., Raven, R., & Truffer, B. (2012). Sustainability transitions: An emerging field of research and its prospects. //Research Policy//, 41(6), 955–967. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.2012.02.013)) Transition in the context of smart grids refers to the systemic reconfiguration of a socio-technical system, involving simultaneous changes in technologies, institutions, actor roles, and cultural expectations over extended time periods.((Markard, J., Raven, R., & Truffer, B.

-Socio-technical systems are organised and operated according to specific sets of principles that shape which technologies are selected, how actors relate to each other, and what is considered legitimate behaviour. These organising principles are embedded in institutions — the rules, norms, and beliefs that regulate, but do not determine, the perceptions and activities of actors. Institutions give systems stability, but actors are knowledgeable agents who can reflexively interpret rules, challenge norms, and actively reshape the systems they operate within.((ISGAN Working Group 7. (2023). //Programme of work: Smart grids transitions — on institutional change//. ISGAN. https://www.iea-isgan.org/our-work3/wg_7/))+Socio-technical systems are organised and operated according to specific sets of principles that shape which technologies are selected, how actors relate to each other, and what is considered legitimate behaviour.
