Hi Brian:
You can get country/plug data from a number of
sources. Then, you can determine the minimum
number of plugs to cover the most number of
countries. Do a spreadsheet and a histogram.
Then, you need a third dimension, the number
of potential customers for each plug. I suppose
you can do this by finding the population of
each country.
Here are some good sources:
http://www.dbicorporation.com/internat/intpower.htm
http://www.ita.doc.gov/media/publications/pdf/current2002final.pdf
http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm
I like the last one (above).
Here are some population web sites:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2119ra
nk.html
Using these sources, you can come up with a
"population per plug" statistic.
Best regards,
Rich
