Green Island's Smart Footprint Green Island’s Smart Footprint Patrick J. Carmody Industrial Technology Research Institute, commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs-Taiwan Abstract The purpose of this work is to introduce, examine and provide a contextual overview for Ta- iwan’s achievements in the IT sector and to outline a current context for future trends in Ta- iwan’s IT evolution. To achieve this goal, this work analyzes the forces in play involving IoTs, Big Analytics, Open Data, and Smart City initiatives— and how these forces are merging in Taiwan today within a global arena. More specifically, this work examines both local and global industry partnerships, practices in sound governance, and current accomplishments in Smart City initiatives and how these forces will be a catalyzing force that embraces an emerging digital broadband environment and the market demands it brings. Research shows that Taiwan has effectively established an environment conducive for conti- nual success in Smart City development and forging global collaborations in IT development that buoy cross-border fertilization in innovation and know-how. For these things to happen in Taiwan specific precursors must be firmly established. Taiwan’s building blocks in its IT sector are not exclusive to its OEM/ODM manufacturing and semiconductor know-how, but also extends to its ICT advancements, IT solutions and system service provider capacities, and a regulatory environment that has laid the foundations for the next epoch in its IT evolu- tion— its burgeoning Smart City technologies, applications in digital services, and software development. The implications from this examination are far reaching. Taiwan is in a position to leverage its current accomplishments in IT development and open governance to capture and harness future IT trends in the globally-driven IT marketplace. Taiwan’s current regulatory envi- ronment and industry success will be a boon to accomplish next steps in its digital evolution and IT knowhow. Ongoing advancement in its “digital inclusion” strategies will be part of the mix in leveraging Taiwan’s success in Smart City development and utilization of IoTs, Big Analytics, embedded sensor technologies, and a rapid expansion in APP creation promoting digital services for urban landscapes. In summary, the crux of this work demonstrates how Taiwan’s IT sector is adapting and responding to new IT trends and developing innovative ways to cultivate global markets in IT development through both public and industry support mechanisms and Smart City initiatives. 1.

This is the only green island lying on the Tropic of Cancer, with a plethora of natural landscapes that includes mountains, hot springs, lakes, seas, as well as a richness of biological diversity that encompasses VSHFLHVRIEXWWHUÀLHVELUGVDQGRWKHUSODQWDQGDQLPDOOLIH$TXDUWHU of these are endemic species, such as the Formosan Landlocked Salmon (櫻 花鉤吻鮭), Formosan Black Bear (台灣黑熊), Swinhoe’s Pheasant (藍腹鷴), and Black-faced Spoonbill (黑面琵鷺), making Taiwan an important base for nature conservation. In addition to its cultural and ecological riches, Taiwan also enjoys comprehensive educational, medical, and transportation systems, along with a complete national infrastructure, advanced information technology and communication networks, and an electronics industry and related subcontracting industries that are among the cutting edge in the world.

  • TPC Changhua Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan Uses Densit® Ducorit®
    Case Study TPC Changhua Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan uses Densit® Ducorit® S5R The offshore wind farm in Changhua County is a 109.2 MW project, approximately 10km off the coast of Fangyuan, that encounters the highest wind power in all of Taiwan. Ducorit S5R was chosen because of its high strength, helping to protect the turbines from the frequent typhoons the area is known for experiencing. Ducorit S5R is a pumpable, DNV-GL certified Ultra-High Performance Cementitious (UHPC) material especially developed for grouted structural connections. The extremely high strength and outstanding fatigue properties made it an excellent solution for this project. The long-term stability and sustainability of the featured 21 Hitachi 5.2 MW turbines, each (four legged) jacket connecting to the turbine, relies on the Ducorit S5R as part of the total system. The Ducorit S5R system was critical to connect all 21 jackets with approximately 1,100 metric tonnes for the site. The installation period started August 6, 2020 extending through September 18, 2020. ITW Performance Polymers offered the turnkey solution, handling all logistics including the loading of containers directly from the factory onshore, managing delivery (including freight on board delivery terms) of the Ducorit S5R. Additionally, offshore and onshore workforce to truck transport and crane assistance, warehouse handling, Customs, recycling and EQ services through office crew and logistics at the Taichung port were managed by the same team. The extensive offshore experience enabled the Densit supervisory team to avoid a more time-consuming jack- up method by working directly from a DP2 vessel. Planning procedures were easier and there was increased flexibility in installation throughput using the floating vessel.
