  1. Energy Grand Challenge -Wind Energy R&D Wind Energy Seminar Gallagher Estate 28 September 2010

  2. OUTLINE • Strategic Context and Goals • Proposed Approach • Interventions • R&D initiatives and Projects • Technology localization

  3. Strategic Context: Vision To develop and harness technological capabilities that will support a globally competitive South African energy industry, which will in turn help ensure universal access to modern energy services for all South Africans, support sustainable economic growth, and contribute to protection of the environment

  4. Strategic Context: Goals • Develop and demonstrate alternative technologies that may contribute to: • Diversifying energy resources away from fossil fuels towards low carbon sources. • Reducing the energy intensity of the economy. • Develop the technological capabilities that will contribute to leveraging our comparative advantage in natural resources that have a potential contribution to the energy mix.

  5. Proposed Approach Key Focus Areas Critical success factors

  6. Interventions

  7. Wind Energy Interventions • Wind Energy Spoke (UCT/US) • Research and development activities (modelling, permanent magnet, storage etc) • Human Capital Development • Wind Atlas • Capabilities for the next phase • Industrial strategy (under development) • Chapter on R&D (axis, late generation, materials, etc) • Certification and testing • Exploratory (investigate the feasibility) • EU Projects • Hybrid systems • Pilot • Technology localization

  8. PROTOCOL FOR DST ENGAGEMENT IN LOCALISATION INITIATIVES Identification of Technology Products Supplier Development Plan (SDP) • Existing Framework within CSDP • DST Technology Localisation Plan Supplier Networks (vertical and horizontal) • Technology Capability Analysis • Gap Analysis Stage Gate Analysis Product-Market-Technology Combinations Strategic Choice (Drivers for Competitive Advantage) Implementation Monitor, Evaluate, & Review TAP Technology Assistance Package (TAP) Cost/ benefit Analysis Develop Strategic Partnerships

  9. Technology localization – DST Role • Identification of Technology Localisation Opportunities (Strategic) • Supplier Network Development (technology related) • Benchmarking & Technology Capability Assessments (systems development) • Inter-Governmental Partnerships and Joint Planning • Regional Government Support for Localisation • Technology Assistance Package (TAP) – mobilisation of resources

  10. Conclusion • Knowledge based economy • HCD • Platforms • Wind Energy Spoke Program • Technology localization • RE Projects
