“…Development of a method for analyzing and improving sustainability of a society has been claimed to assist the advance of transitional process toward increasing sustainability (Nielsen and Jorgensen 2015). Since 1950, much attention has been paid to quality management and its analysis (Gómez Gómez et al 2011), which later on resulted in generation of excellence business management models or systems in order to improve the management and business results (del Mar Alonso- Almeida and FuentesFrías 2012).…”

''Environmental issues'' along with raising awareness of people about the value of ecological systems and the growth of environmentalism have affected businesses systems and models by introducing new concepts and models for business such as sustainable business model. European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence Model provides a clear path for a company to follow in order to achieve its planned results which can be called sustainable business. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the mentioned model is suitable for the businesses that are based on cleaner production and sustainable business models. The method used in this study is an explorative one based on the literature review and exploration of the adaptability of EFQM Excellence Model (2013), including its fundamental concepts and its criteria, to eight archetypes of sustainable business. The results showed that out of eight fundamental concepts of this model, four are aligned with sustainable business model and four need redefining. Moreover, it was found that environmentalism should be added to the five enablers of the model, and results criteria of it needed to be restructured and redefined. In conclusion, it was shown that despite adoptability of the fundamental concepts of EFQM Excellence Model, there were some lacking criteria for adapting them to sustainable business model. Having this in mind, a modified type of model with the new defined criteria was proposed in this study.

“…Literature review dealing with supply chain sustainability Researchers Description of the study Nielsen and Jørgensen (2015) They claimed the need to increase sustainability in regards of society, the require method should be developed to govern analysis of sustainability, which would help in the transition from old supply chain objectives to sustainable supply chain objectives. Subramaniam et al (2014) They have addressed the perceptions of managing risks and opportunities associated with carbon pricing and emissions management.…”

“…Since the power production unit price of a diesel generator is higher than that of the mainland, renewable energy sources in the islands are cost competitive. This has been represented in the example of Samsø Island in Denmark [6]. Wave energy can be seen as the most suitable option for creating an energy self-sufficient island.…”

INGINE Inc. developed its own wave energy converter (WEC) named INWAVE and has currently installed three prototype modules in Jeju Island, Korea. This device is an on-shore-type WEC that consists of a buoy, pulleys fixed to the sea-floor and a power take off module (PTO). Three ropes are moored tightly on the bottom of the buoy and connected to the PTO via the pulleys, which are moving back and forth according to the motion of the buoy. Since the device can harness wave energy from all six degrees of movement of the buoy, it is possible to extract energy efficiently even under low energy density conditions provided in the coastal areas. In the PTO module, the ratchet gears convert the reciprocating movement of the rope drum into a uni-directional rotation and determine the transmission of power from the relation of the angular velocities between the rope drum and the generator. In this process, the discontinuity of the power transmission occurs and causes the modeling divergence. Therefore, we introduce the concept of the virtual torsion spring in order to prevent the impact error in the ratchet gear module, thereby completing the PTO modeling. In this paper, we deal with dynamic analysis in the time domain, based on Newtonian mechanics and linear wave theory. We derive the combined dynamics of the buoy and PTO modules via geometric relation between the buoy and mooring ropes, then suggest the ratchet gear mechanism with the virtual torsion spring element to reduce the dynamic errors during the phase transitions. Time domain simulation is carried out under irregular waves that reflect the actual wave states of the installation area, and we evaluate the theoretical performance using the capture width ratio.
