Taiwan Power Company’s system (1) Table 1. Taiwan Power Company’s generation capacity Taipower has planned most highly potential onshore wind in 2010 farms along the west coast of Taiwan. Moreover, it has in- vestigated several possible offshore wind farms. In particu- lar, ChungHua Offshore Wind Farm could become one of the largest wind farms in central Taiwan. Its site is around 140 square kilometers in size and more than 294 wind turbine generators (WTGs) could be installed there. If each wind turbine generator has 3.6 MW of capacity, the total installed capacity would be around 1,058 MW. The offshore wind farm can be separated into two development areas as shown in Fig. 3. There will be six phases (i.e. 30 WTGs, 60-66 WTGs, 48 WTGs, 55 WTGs, 44-54 WTGs, and 47 WTGs) to develop the offshore wind farm from the north to south areas. The first phase considers either 36 WTGs of 3.0 MW each or 30 WTGs of 3.6 MW each with a total of 108 MW installed capacity in the north area of offshore. In addition, the area of phase 1 will have four 33 kV of submarine cables to be connected to the onshore substation and set up to the 161 kV transmission lines to the HsienShi D/S (primary distribution substation).

  • 2016-2017 CCKF Annual Report
    2016-2017 INTRODUCTION The Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange (the Foundation) was established in 1989 in memory of the outstanding achievements of the late President of the Republic of China, Chiang Ching- kuo (1910-1988). The Foundation’s mission is to promote the study of Chinese culture and society, as well as enhance international scholarly exchange. Its principal work is to award grants and fellowships to institutions and individuals conducting Sinological and Taiwan-related research, thereby adding new life to Chinese cultural traditions while also assuming responsibility for the further development of human civilization. Operational funds supporting the Foundation’s activities derive from interest generated from an endowment donated by both the public and private sectors. As of June 1, 2017, the size of this endowment totaled NT$3.62 billion. The Foundation is governed by its Board of Directors (consisting of between 15 and 21 Board Members), as well as 3 Supervisors. Our central headquarters is located in Taipei, Taiwan, with a regional office near Washington D.C. in McLean, Virginia. In addition, the Foundation currently maintains four overseas centers: the Chiang Ching-kuo International Sinological Center at Charles University in Prague (CCK-ISC); the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Inter-University Center for Sinology at Harvard University (CCK-IUC); the Chinese University of Hong Kong – Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Asia-Pacific Centre for Chinese Studies (CCK-APC); and the European Research Center on Contemporary Taiwan – A CCK Foundation Overseas Center at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (CCKF-ERCCT). There are also review committees for the five regions covering the geographic scope of the Foundation’s operations: Domestic, American, European, Asia-Pacific and Developing.

Some measures, in an attempt to achieve the 3E balance, were previously implemented in Taiwan; nevertheless, some unresolved issues departing from certain core principles of Taiwan’s sustainable energy policy and an international initiative for a low carbon society remain. The aim of this paper is to examine the energy supply and demand structure of Taiwan and the present status of individual energy carriers (including coal, petroleum, natural gas and electricity). In addition, it investigates the current energy policy framework and its implementation in Taiwan, identifies unresolved issues regarding sustainable energy development, and formulates key policy solutions for certain identifiable problems to enable the achievement of a liberalized, orderly, efficient, and clean energy supply and demand system.

  • Evaluation of Nox, Sox and CO2 Emissions of Taiwan's Thermal Power Plants by Data Envelopment Analysis

Lin2*, Charles Lewis3 1 Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, Lungtan, Taoyuan 32546, Taiwan 2 Sustainable Environmental Research Center (SERC), Department of Environmental Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 701, Taiwan 3 Department of Resources Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 701, Taiwan ABSTRACT An integrated environmental and operational evaluation model is constructed by data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine seven thermal power plants operating in Taiwan during 2001–2008. Inputs and desirable outputs along with undesirable outputs, including CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, were simulated. A slack variable analysis was conducted to identify possible ways to improve the inefficient power plants. In addition, three models were compared to identify the actual magnitude of inefficiency. The results indicate that the integrated efficiency and production scale of some plants were inefficient during 2001–2008. Reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are identified as the major strategies to improve efficiency. Other options include modifying pre-existing management measures, installing pollution prevention controls and resizing the scale of the power plant. It is anticipated that the findings of

This study adopts textual analysis and legal policy analysis as its main form of research methodology, and the theory of energy justice, as well as principles of energy management, to correlate with the Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, this study aims to construct an analysis structure for national energy transition and to analyze the current situation within Taiwan’s electricity sector reforms, while providing evidence of the national experience of electrical industry reforms as an international reference. This study also compares the differences between the seventh Sustainable Development Goal relationship and national energy transitions in Taiwan and Japan, based on the similar initiative of the revised Electricity Act with the policy bundle.

An old nuclear culture persists, and advocating nuclear power is still more important than safety regulation . Unless nuclear safety can be restored to its rightful position, continuing current practices are likely to threaten operational safety and risks, placing waste management in disarray . Over the years, a number of nuclear-related incidents have occurred in Taiwan, demonstrating the importance of having a system of checks and balances, strictly enforced through domestic and international transparency .
