Topic
In order to understand the collective action of individuals and their complex interactions within energy communities, various qualitative and quantitative approaches are used, including agent-based modelling (ABM), district choice modelling, survey and interviews. Using these approaches in combination of theories and frameworks such as “Institutional Analysis and Development framework”, “The four-layer model of Williamson”, “Social Value Orientation theory”, “Theory of Planned Behaviour” and “Behavioural Reasoning Theory”. Different scenarios and governance strategies are explored for establishing energy communities, focusing more specifically on thermal energy communities and energy communities dealing with energy security issues.
