A conceptual framework for power generation technology management for developing countries.

Most of the current approaches of technology management emphasis on the need of systematic technology management in both strategic and operational perspectives. The majority of developing countries have a problem to manage technology systematically and fail to implement management techniques effectively. There is a big gap between developed and developing countries in most fields of technology and the power generation sector is among them. The goal of this research work is to develop a conceptual framework for power generation technology management for developing countries. Also to draw a systematic guide lines and clear strategy to help decision makers to optimise their decisions to save resources and less harming to climate. In this work, a systematic approach is developed to select a suitable hard technology for power generation technologies selection using the AHP software. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to show how the decision is affected with the change in criteria and sub-criteria. After this objective is achieved, some other soft technologies are identified with their limits and integrated with hard technologies for power generation. A validation of the proposed model is provided using the questionnaire technique.
