UNDERSTANDING ENERGY INNOVATION - HEATHER LOVEL...

This open access book uses smart grids to explore and better understand energy innovation  from
a social science perspective. Understanding Energy Innovation has four core themes-networks 
nodes  narratives and nostalgia-and each chapter tackles a theme  using case studies from
Australia and Europe. Energy innovation is currently occurring at a rapid pace  in response to
a host of problems including climate change  high energy prices  and unreliable supply.
Understanding Energy Innovation provides ways to think about and plan for energy sector reform
and innovation  drawing on core ideas from social and innovation theory  and centred on smart
grids as a case study. These academic ideas are written about in an accessible way  recognising
that a diversity of people have an interest in energy innovation generally  and smart grids
more specifically  and would like to find out more about ways of understanding energy
innovation that integrate the social and the political.
