Abstract
The energy transition is a global priority to address climate change and ensure energy security. While technological developments play an instrumental role in enabling this transition, the importance of human behaviour cannot be understated. People's energy consumption practices significantly impact energy demand patterns. Additionally, the adoption of renewable energy technologies depends on public acceptance, and energy projects often affect communities. Operational research (OR) models and methods have been successfully employed to address several complex problems in the energy sector, such as the location of infrastructures, the energy sharing in energy communities and market design, involving multiple stakeholders, including utilities, governmental agencies, and consumers. The objective of this study is to organise the relevant operational research challenges related to the energy transition, identify the associated behavioural aspects, and examine several disciplinary approaches used to address these challenges. Ultimately, the aim is to identify research gaps, contributing to the advancement of the behavioural OR discipline.
