Overview
The ISGAN Smart Grid Transitions Wiki builds a shared language across the International Smart Grid Action Network. It connects expert knowledge from ISGAN working groups with real-world examples, grounding technical, institutional, and actor-centred perspectives in one place.
What the wiki is
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 by approaching a concept from three angles: actors and stakeholders, technologies and infrastructure, and institutional structures. Topic pages include real-world examples from different regions. After publication they are revised and updated as knowledge develops.
Who is behind this wiki?
The wiki is coordinated by the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT). Content is developed through collaboration across ISGAN working groups, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and working group members from member countries to build and maintain a shared knowledge base on smart grid transitions.

ISGAN
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 the ISGAN Secretariat. Content reflects the collective knowledge of ISGAN's working groups and is continuously reviewed and updated.
