Enhancing the Green Energy Power Grid
Microgrid Promotion In response to the government's energy independence policy and the development of related green energy applications, Taipower has planned energy storage systems in remote tribal areas and offshore islands, to demonstrate how energy storage equipment can help improve power supply capabilities, power stability, and disaster prevention in remote areas. At present, energy storage systems have been installed in 2 places including on Taitung’s Lanyu Island and Penghu’s Wangan Island.
The newly added energy storage systems are incorporated into the regional microgrid infrastructure. When the power supply of the upstream transmission system is unstable, the rapid charging and discharging capabilities of the energy storage systems are utilized along with solar panels and generators in the region to ensure a stable voltage source to meet regional load requirements. Taipower has planned regional microgrids at the county, city and township levels throughout Taiwan. The Company aims to complete systems in Taoyuan’s Bengang, Miaoli’s Xiaonan, Taichung’s Guanlian, Yunlin’s Yungang, Chiayi’s Xinwen, Tainan’s Nanhua, Kaohsiung’s Meinong, and Pingtung’s Xinwen areas during 2023 and 2024. The completion of these eight secondary substations (S/S) will effectively achieve the goal of installing microgrids at the township level.
