The results imply that the installation strategies would also substantially influence the net power supply, and such effects should be incorporated into Taiwan's renewable energy promotion policy. The results also indicate that the emission offset associated with solar energy development is substantial and can benefit energy suppliers considerably.
Taiwan lacks energy stock and has been paying great attention to developing renewable energy to improve energy security and sustain economic growth. Solar energy is attractive to Taiwan's government as the recorded radiation is substantial, and a significant amount of fallow land is available for panel installation.
The main point: Recent nationwide blackouts caused by two glitches at a power plant in Kaohsiung have drawn attention to the fragility of Taiwan’s energy grid, and its potential vulnerability to sabotage by hostile forces.
Chang estimates that Taiwan's average tracked solar radiation is approximately 1367 W/m 2, but the received amount would also depend on the location and the panel used. In this study, we employ the single-axis solar model with c-Si and CdTe cell modules to evaluate the potential solar power production in different regions.
First, many areas in Taiwan are humid, which is likely to decrease the useful life of the panels, thereby increasing the annual depreciation and O&M costs, and subsequently, reducing net returns.
As Evan A. Feigenbaum and Jen-yi Hou (侯仁義) point out in a 2020 paper for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, there is also room for much closer cooperation between Taiwan and the United States on energy storage technology.
