“…With the same drivers, the variation over time in the penetration of innovations is not the same in all countries or all regions within the same country [1]. Needless to say, this difference is related more to how different societies are organised or structured than to their geographical location, although the geographical location may condition how the society is structured.…”

“…The abstraction needed to define the medium in which diffusion of innovations takes place might be one of the reasons why this approach has not previously been used. This approach makes it possible to describe how the main drivers of innovation are hampered by barriers or supported by the traits of the medium and, at the same time, opens new paths of research to fill some gaps in the representation of technology diffusion in energy-system models [1]. The main scope of this paper is to present this novel approach; this is done in the second section.…”

Abstract:A new mathematical approach to the diffusion of energy-efficient technologies is presented using the diffusion of natural processes as an analogy. This approach is applied to the diffusion of the electric arc furnace in Japan. The main advantage offered by the new approach is the incorporation of an average effect of barriers to, and support measures for, innovation. This approach also incorporates some of the parameters influencing the cost-effectiveness of the investment in the new technology as the main driver for adopting the innovation. The straightforward equivalence between natural phenomena and the diffusion of innovation requires the conceptual abstraction of setting a dimension (and defining) the medium in which the diffusion takes place. This new approach opens new research paths to analysing under what circumstances innovations can take-off, the effect of barriers in the diffusion of energy efficient technologies, or how the diffusion process is incorporated in energy-system models.

“…The lack of a clear relationship between these barriers, the investment criteria and the effect of potential measures to overcome these barriers poses a challenge to policy makers (Mickwitz et al, 2008). The diffusion of technologies in the industry typically follows an S-shaped curve (Geroski, 2000;Barreto and Kemp, 2008). There are some different models that can be built to explain this empirical fact (Geroski, 2000).…”

“…The members of a cluster are related by multiple links that contribute to magnify their economic, social and environmental impacts. These multiple relations contribute to make progress in one of them relevant, directly or indirectly, to other members of the cluster, as it helps to reinforce their own position in the marketplace (Barreto & Kemp, 2008).…”

Innovation and technology management in wind energy industry is driven by policies and incentives due to their inherent characteristics such as high upfront costs, lack of level playing field but distinct advantages from energy security, environmental and social considerations. This paper makes an analysis of innovation and technology management in wind power industry, focusing on value chain and the interaction of technology and markets for contributing to recommendations on technology policy and management. This paper proposes a framework for analyzing the initial stage of diffusion of wind power systems, combining the use of various approaches, considering wind power system as a complex technology. The approach to the business system is used as an analytical framework, focusing on efficiency, effectiveness and criteria for development.
