Abstract
AbstractAn intelligent grid system makes the combination of various renewable energy technologies and changes in power supply and demand become more possible. Technology and innovation are considered the primary drivers of the next stage of economic growth in China, and smart grid (SG) energy management has developed as an emerging industry with the goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy efficiency to attain sustainability. In this study, high‐level, middle‐level, and low‐level managers from 102 successful grid companies in China completed questionnaires. The particular characteristics of four business models for innovation (novelty, lock‐in, complementarities, and efficiency) are discussed, three distinct levels of SG (power supply side, grid side, and customer demand side) are considered (addressing process and elements), and effects of each business model for innovation are identified. Our findings yield important considerations for companies in the SG energy industry on how to successfully adapt their business models for innovation.
