Overview

Smart grid transitions draw on engineering, policy, economics, and sociology simultaneously. Experts in these fields often use the same terms differently, or different terms for closely related ideas. The wiki addresses this directly: each topic page approaches a concept from three angles — who the relevant actors are, what the technical picture looks like, and what institutional structures shape the system.

Pages are grounded in real-world examples from different regions. After publication they are revised and updated as knowledge develops.

The wiki is coordinated by the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT). The content of the wiki is developed through collaboration of the ISGAN working groups. It brings together researchers, practitioners, and working group members from across ISGAN's member countries to build and maintain a shared knowledge base on smart grid transitions.

Topics are grouped into five categories that reflect the main analytical lenses used across ISGAN working groups: General Topics, Governance Innovation and Change, Institutions and Markets, Actors and Stakeholders, and Technology and Infrastructure. Each topic sits in one primary category; related topics are linked directly from the page.

Vitaliy Soloviy - Wiki coordinator

Responsible for overall editorial direction, version management, and coordination. Maintains the editorial guide and review protocols, wiki infrastructure, access management, and technical matters.

Klaus Kubeczko - Idea and oversight

Ensures alignment with project milestones, reporting requirements, and ISGAN governance.

Branislav Iglar - Project coordination at AIT

Manages inter-institutional liaison, and coordination with ISGAN national representatives and working group leads.

Oskar Sachs - Technical assistance

Provides technical support to wiki development.

The wiki is a collaborative effort of the whole ISGAN community. Authors, contributors, and reviewers from ISGAN member organisations have shaped individual topic pages. A full listing of contributions by topic is available on the Contributors page. This wiki has been developed with support from ISGAN Secretariat. Content reflects the collective knowledge of ISGAN's working groups and is continuously reviewed and updated.
