应对气候变化和资源枯竭的巨大社会挑战，需要对能源系统进行根本性改造，不仅包括技术变革，还包括能源使用和消费文化、新的法规以及在能源市场上运作的新型行为者。跨学科的社会科学研究“可持续性转型”的一个日益增长的领域涉及这种变革性的，系统性的和社会技术的变化过程走向可持续性的动态和治理。本章概述了用于研究能源系统转型的概念，它们的优点和缺点，以及新的进展。本章还讨论了一个具体的例子，社会技术变革领域的可再生能源-风力发电，并反映了一些经验教训，可以从中得出的能源和社会的相互依存关系，并了解过渡到一个更可持续的能源系统。
Dealing with the immense societal challenges of climate change and resource depletion requires no less than a fundamental transformation of the energy system, comprising not only technological change, but also cultures of energy use and consumption, new regulations, and new types of actors operating on the energy market. A growing field of interdisciplinary social science research on “sustainability transitions” deals with the dynamics and governance of such transformative, systemic, and socio-technical change processes toward sustainability. This chapter gives an overview of concepts used to study energy system transitions, their strengths and shortcomings, as well as new advancements. The chapter also discusses a concrete example of socio-technical change in the field of renewable energy—wind power—and reflects on some of the lessons that can be drawn from this about the interdependence of energy and society and for an understanding of transitions toward a more sustainable energy system.
