Abstract
In Taiwan, in corresponding to the policy of reducing CO2 emission, reforming current energy structure, and saving energy, the National Energy Program (NEP)-Smart Grid General Project Phase 1 was implemented. The objectives of this project are meant to enhance the robustness of the power grid, reduce greenhouse gas emission, increase the penetration rate of renewable energy and develop smart grid industry in Taiwan. This study will introduce the positioning of the Smart Grid General Project among overall smart grid development, the results of Phase 1, the smart grid technology commercialization process of Phase 2, and the promotion model with collaboration between industry, universities and research units.
Highlights
Smart grid technology uses information, communication, and automation technology to deploy an integrated power grid with smart power generation, transmission, distribution and users
Under Smart Grid General Project Phase 1 and the development of EICT by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), 18 smart grid demonstration sites have so far been established with the guidance of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Bureau of Energy, MOEA, and private companies
The experiences and results from the development of these demonstration sites will help the commercialization of smart grid technology, integrated testing and system verification, laying the key foundations for the full-scale deployment and industry promotion of smart grid [9]
Summary
Smart grid technology uses information, communication, and automation technology to deploy an integrated power grid with smart power generation, transmission, distribution and users. In 2012, the Executive Yuan of Taiwan approved the inclusion of “Smart Grid Master Plan” as a benchmark project in the “Master Plan of Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction”. The purpose of the Smart Grid General Project is to establish an overall development strategy to face the challenges of the aforementioned power system and industry. Effective action plans to realize the vision of “enhancing energy security, improving carbon emissions, and creating an energy industry” have been proposed along with the development of Taiwan’s power equipment industry. These efforts have assisted the development of a high quality, high efficiency, user-oriented, and environmentally friendly power grid. This study will introduce the positioning of the Smart Grid General Project among overall smart grid development, the results of Phase 1, and the smart grid technology commercialization process of Phase 2
