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.

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

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
