The increasing deployment of decentralised rooftop photovoltaic systems (PV systems) and the expected future diffusion of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) can have a major influence on the need to expand low-voltage networks in the near future. The associated grid investments are refinanced via...

Demand-side load management is considered a cost-efficient solution for ac-commodating growing shares of intermittent renewable electricity production. Here, we use double-bounded dichotomous choice (DBDC) contingent valua-tion (CV) to estimate the effectiveness of a subsidy for companies to...

[Einleitung und Motivation] Sektorkopplung bzw. Sektorenkopplung ist in den letzten Jahren in der Energie- und Klimapolitik als neue Begrifflichkeit aufgetaucht. Der hohe politische Stellenwert der Sektorkopplung in der heutigen energiepolitischen Diskussion spiegelt sich unter anderem im...

The aim of this paper is to present a heterodox and heuristic model to analyze what we will call behavioral transitions to sustainability (BTS), using a combination of the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP), Dialectic Issue Lifecycles (DILC) and two behavioral models. With strong roots in science and...

In this paper, which is the first of two case studies, we will examine whether and to what degree a behavioral transition towards greater social sustainability is taking place in the smartphone sector. We define behavioral transitions as normatively driven changes in a conglomerate of...

In the following case study, we will examine whether and to what degree a behavioral transition towards greater social sustainability is taking place in the garment sector. We define behavioral transitions as normatively driven changes in a conglomerate of structures, culture, norms and...

This paper discusses a range of business model innovations taking place out-side the rail transport sector with a direct impact on rail transport. The paper also discusses business model innovations that may have been developed elsewhere but could be transferred to the rail transport sector. The...

The paper asks how the modal shift from road to rail in the freight sector is sup-ported by institutional change. Following North (1990), institutions are understood as the "rules of the game" in the rail freight sector. Based on the literature on institutional change, four different...
