能源转型是当今公共话语中明确无误的一部分。无论是受燃料价格波动、环境和安全问题、技术变革的影响，还是受改善能源供应的目标的影响，人们的注意力经常转向如何改善能源途径。然而，人们对能源系统变革的理解仍在不断涌现。本文探讨了不断发展的能源转换领域，旨在连接和扩大学术。讨论了能源转型的定义和例子，以及关于权衡、紧迫性和创新的核心思想。然后审查全球能源发展和相关的大趋势，以突出具有分析意义的领域。接下来将检查关键信息来源和供应商。文章最后提出了进一步研究的机会。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Energy transitions are an unmistakable part of today's public discourse. Whether shaped by fuel price fluctuation, environmental and security concerns, aspects of technology change, or goals to improve energy access, attention regularly turns to ways in which to improve energy pathways. Yet what is understood about energy system change is still emerging. This article explores the evolving field of energy transitions with an aim to connect and enlarge the scholarship. Definitions and examples of energy transitions are discussed, together with core ideas on trade-offs, urgency, and innovation. Global developments in energy and related mega-trends are then reviewed to highlight areas of analytical significance. Key information sources and suppliers are examined next. The article concludes with ideas about opportunities for further research. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
