Abstract

This paper gives an overview of renewable energy production as impacted by external factors such as environmental concerns, regulations, sustainability, technology innovation etc., and internal factors such as employees׳ talent, performance stability, operations, processes etc., and provides a framework to address these influences. It first gives an overview of the various factors that have been studied in the literature, including externally and internally influenced factors. Although practitioners have analyzed external factors in various topics, both external and internal factors have not been validated in a quantitatively. The purpose of this study is to validate the highly influenced factors which impact the renewable energy business. We describe how a framework model can be used in the production process to address these factors. We conclude with an analysis of the results with findings and recommendations for managing both internal and external factors during operation by using the Supply-Chain Operation Reference Model.
