The Role of Technological Trajectories in Catching-up Based Development an Application to Energy Efficiency Technologies

We argue that the analysis level of a technological trajectory is very suitable to analyse the decisions of firms in latecomer countries with regard to the technological area that they should focus on. Technological trajectories are the main focal points along which technological innovation develops, and they are more detailed than the common sectors, like electronics of pharmaceuticals, that a...

Learning Models and Technology Strategy in Catching-up

Learning is central to knowledge-based development. It is through learning that innovation capabilities of firm and social capabilities to adapt to change get improved. This paper focuses on learning at firm and in cluster in developing countries. Three distinctive paths or models of industrial latecomer learning are analyzed: a) individual firm-based latecomer learning, with Korean firms as pr...

Energy Modeling and Simulation including particle technologies within Single and Double Pass Solar Air Heaters

In order to obtain the best performance of the solar air heaters, it is necessary to find optimum performance conditions. The aim of this research paper is to achieve optimum conditions, by comparing single and double pass solar air heaters. Also, a brief review study of various related research works of all scenarios for a single and double pass and packed bed (including particle technologies)...

measurement the absorption capacity of solar energy storage technology

Although solar energy is one of the most important renewable energies in Iran that most areas of the country, especially the Central Desert, have considerable ability to use, but the random nature of this type of energy makes it difficult to predict its output power and may cause problems in the performance of the feed systems. For this reason, the use of energy storage systems for periods of l...
