Using Porter’s Diamond Model to Assess the Competitiveness of Taiwan’s Solar Photovoltaic Industry

2021

In this study, we use six dimensions (i.e., firm strategy; government, structure, and rivalry; demand conditions; chance; factor conditions; and related/supporting industries) based on Porter’s diamond model to identify critical development indicators to enhance the competitiveness of Taiwan’s solar photovoltaic industry. Our proposed industry evaluation model uses the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique to establish an influential relationship between indicators, the DEMATEL-based analytic network process to obtain influential weights, and the modified VIšekriterijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) method to assess industry development performance gaps. Through this analysis, current industry demands can be clarified, and operations of governments and photovoltaic firms can be improved by limiting developmental gaps and formulating robust policies and strategies. Furthermore, the influential network relationship map and influential weights can help explain the complex assessment system and suggest priorities for industry improvement. The results demonstrate that the six dimensions should be upgraded in the following order of priority: firm strategy; government, structure, and rivalry; demand conditions; chance; factor conditions; and related/supporting industries. We also discuss the implications for photovoltaic firm management.

“…A study by the International Energy Agency (EIA) estimates that between the years 2018 and 2050, global energy consumption by renewable sources tends to increase by 3.1% per year [5]. Worldwide growth is seen of proposals related to the reduction of environmental damages that involve the substitution of fossil energy sources and the increase of renewables [79]. These clean sources are expanding rapidly, reaching record levels of investments [80].…”

Determining Factors and Scenarios of Influence on Consumer Migration from the Regulated Market to the Deregulated Electricity Market

et al. 2020

Due to the constant evolution of the electricity markets around the world, new possibilities for contracting electricity are emerging. In Brazil, there are two models available to the consumer: the regulated contracting environment and the free contracting environment. Because of these possibilities for contracting electricity, it is important that consumers know how to migrate from the regulated to the free environment when it is an advantage. This study was conducted following the premises of three techniques: systematic literature review, gray literature review, and expert panel. The following question was asked: What are the determining factors to be considered by the consumer at the moment decision to migrate from the regulated electricity market to the free market? In total, 7 factors were identified and discussed in the literature review. The experts who participated in the study pointed out 3 influential scenarios in this decision making to migrate. The main contribution of this study is to provide the consumer with subsidies for decision making, given the determining factors to be taken into account when deciding on migration or not. In addition, the study contributed to the sector through a comprehensive discussion about the scenarios faced by consumers and how they can influence decision making.

“…However, serious aerosol pollution and the high urbanization rate are the main agents of the inefficiencies of the output energy of these plants. Carstens and Cunha [41] identified the challenges and opportunities of PV use in Brazil, considering two main approaches: The multilevel perspective and the functions of the innovation system. The authors found that the vast territory and the high solar irradiance play a basic role in improving the EO of PV modules, while the lack of new technology development, the shortage of skilled professionals, and insufficient knowledge transfer are the main challenges of implementing PV modules.…”

Framework for a Systematic Parametric Analysis to Maximize Energy Output of PV Modules Using an Experimental Design

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Use of photovoltaic modules in buildings has been reported to be an effective tool in managing energy consumption. The novelty in the research herein is in a framework that integrates different performance parameters through the use of an experimental design to expect all variables via linear regression analysis. An emphasis is placed on making the method readily available to practitioners and experts in the area of renewable energy, using standard procedure and easily accessible software. This work empowers the decision-making process and sustainability through a parametric analysis of the installation of photovoltaic modules to increase their energy output towards nearly zero energy buildings. A case study of a group of photovoltaic modules is examined in four cities with different locations and climate data to validate the proposed framework. Results demonstrate that the installation of photovoltaic modules on the mounted roof is better than elevations, and the vertical installation of modules is the worst possible inclination to maximize the yielded energy. The impact of inclination is higher than orientation in influencing the energy productivity of photovoltaic modules. This work specifies integrating such modules mounted on roofs and elevations towards the equator line, by a proportion of inclination/latitude equal to 85 ± 3%, to maximize the energy output.
