Agenda  

•  Background  •  Methodology  •  Findings  •  Conclusions  

Page 3: Pp ts triple-layer smart grid business model- a comparison between sub-saharan africa and denmark

Background  •  An  esKmated  of  585  million  people  

in  Sub-­‐Saharan  Africa  are  without  electricity  in  2009  (Brandon  et  al.,  2011)    

•  46%  of  electricity  generated  in  some  naKons  in  Africa  is  lost  in  transmission  (data.worldbank.org)  

•  Companies  are  introduced  to  these  markets  without  understanding  the  inherent  business  ecosystem

Research  Background  –  The  needs  for  high-­‐end  mobile  applica8ons  and  overly  advanced  smart  metering  etc.  is  not  present  in  a  low  tech  Sub-­‐Saharan  African  market  since  focus  remains  on  the  basic  components  of  electric  power  systems:  GeneraKon,  Transmission  and  DistribuKon  (Deichmann  et  al.,  2010).    

–  “Energy  developments  in  Africa  is  a  great  market.  They  are  willing  to  invest,  and  the  public  has  the  required  finances”  –  GreenTech  

–  Companies  from  developed  countries  have  been  known  to  use  undeveloped  countries  to  introduce  new  energy  development  models  as  a  plaZorm  for  technology  ventures  (Ladislaw,  2011)

Research  QuesKon  

•  What  is  the  ecosystem  based  business  model  for  a  Smart  grid  infrastructure?    

•  And  is  this  transferable  across  countries?

Methodology  

Page 12: Pp ts triple-layer smart grid business model- a comparison between sub-saharan africa and denmark

Case  study:  Remergy  •  Danish  situated  •  Operates  in  sub-­‐Saharan  Africa  •  Current  business:  

–  Remergy  develops  microgrids  in  rural  sub-­‐Saharan  Africa.  They  implement  low  technology  smart  grid  concepts  (i.e.  demand  management  and  peak  capacity  management)  to  ensure  a  high  effeciency  and  reliability  of  the  microgrid.

Step  2-­‐  Environmental  factors  of  Denmark  and  Africa  

Determine  and  compare  Danish  and  African  environmental  factors  to  establish  any  potenKal  commonaliKes  and  variability

Summary  Triple-­‐layer  smart  grid  business  model:    •  Integrated  business  ecosystem  approach  

•  Applicable  in  scenarios  of  great  market  difference  

•  Understand/analyze  a  specific  smart  grid  market  

•  EvaluaKon  of  the  business  potenKal  and  performance  in  a  selected  market  

•  Design  company  business  model    •  explore  the  strategies  of  exporKng  smart  grid  soluKons  in  a  specific  

markets
