This literature review study presents and discusses the learning strategies of organizations participating in sustainable energy demonstration projects. It finds that academic, commercial, and governmental organizations build on six major learning strategies. The first learning strategy is to capture intellectual property and benefit from knowledge spillovers. The second learning strategy comprises the building of a series of prototypes that are technically and commercially fit for purpose. The third learning strategy aims at operating production plants that produce the prototypes on a large scale. The fourth learning strategy concentrates on exploiting learning curves in these production plants. The fifth learning strategy focuses on creating supply-demand networks that serve increasing markets. Finally, the sixth learning strategy is to develop governmental regulation and funding schemes that support the emergence of an industrial and societal institutional infrastructure for sustainable energy technology, based on the lessons learned from the demonstration projects. This study also finds that the six learning strategies are facilitated by four key behaviors of participants in demonstration projects, which are mutual trust-building, decision-making in favor of sustainable energy technology, learning-network building, and demonstration program development. To academics, this study provides a comprehensive insight into organizations’ learning strategies in sustainable energy demonstration projects, regarding learning directions and outcomes. Its contribution to practice is that it supports academic, commercial, and governmental organizations in managing their portfolio of learning strategies in new sustainable energy demonstration projects.

这篇文献综述研究提出并讨论了参与可持续能源示范项目的组织的学习策略。它发现学术，商业和政府组织建立在六种主要的学习策略之上。第一个学习策略是获取知识产权并从知识溢出中受益。第二种学习策略包括构建一系列原型，这些原型在技术上和商业上都适合于此目的。第三个学习策略旨在运营可大规模生产原型的生产工厂。第四个学习策略集中于在这些生产工厂中利用学习曲线。第五个学习策略着重于创建服务于不断增长的市场的供需网络。最后，第六项学习策略是根据从示范项目中学到的经验教训，制定政府法规和资助计划，以支持建立工业和社会机构基础设施，以实现可持续能源技术。这项研究还发现，示范项目参与者的四个关​​键行为促进了这六个学习策略，即相互建立信任，支持可持续能源技术的决策，学习网络的建立以及示范项目的开发。对于学者而言，本研究提供了有关组织在可持续能源示范项目中的学习策略的全面见解，涉及学习方向和成果。它对实践的贡献在于它支持学术，商业，
