Electrical power systems are facing an unprecedented period of change. Technologies that underpinned cheap and reliable power supply in the 20th century are being challenged by potentially disruptive innovations that threaten to remake electricity networks around the world. But the established systems remain stubbornly resistant to change. In this book, author Dr Tim MacTaggart explores some of the sources of resistance to widespread technological change in the electricity sector. Based on research work in the Australian electricity sector and drawing on fields as diverse as economics and diffusion of innovation, it provides unprecedented insight into the factors that keep electricity firmly rooted in the past while offering insights into how it might evolve in the future.
