With major changes in Taiwan''s energy landscape, including the recent liberalisation of their renewable energy market and President Tsai''s nuclear-free homeland policy, the challenge will be how to best adapt the mature tech for
The main point: Taiwan''s electricity-intensive economy demands a world-class power system—which in turn will require both investment in grid upgrades and a re-embrace of reliable sources of electricity generation,
Changua County, TAIWAN | May 7, 2024 GE Vernova''s Grid Solutions, in partnership with TECO Electric and Machinery Co., has marked a significant milestone with the groundbreaking
Grid Solutions, a GE Renewable Energy business, part of GE Vernova, serves customers globally with over 12,000 employees. Grid Solutions provides power utilities and industries worldwide with equipment, systems and services to bring power reliably and efficiently from the point of generation to end power consumers.
Grid Solutions, a GE Vernova business, is focused on bringing together technologies and expertise to help solve the toughest power system challenges, accelerating the global transition to a more resilient and reliable grid. The future of energy is here. The energy industry is facing a pivotal moment and we have a key role to play.
As a result, Taiwan’s power grid lost a third of its capacity, and more than 5 million households were left without electricity. Moreover, the semiconductor, petrochemical, and steel industries suffered disruptions estimated to have cost more than NTD $5 billion.
Taiwan is engaged in a multifront effort to add resilience to its electrical grid. The centerpiece of this campaign is the Grid Resilience Strengthening Construction Plan (強化電網韌性建設計畫), announced by Taiwan Power Company (Taipower, 台灣電力公司) in September 2022.
Taiwan’s grid also faces risk from a triad of exogenous factors that deserve mention: seismology, weather, and regional geopolitics. Taiwan’s biggest electricity failure prior to the 2017 outage resulted from an earthquake in 1999. Typhoons also pose a risk, particularly when high winds damage power lines.
“The new project aims to enhance power grid resilience by deploying microgrids, rather than relying on major grids for electricity supply,” Taipower acting Chairman Tseng Wen-sheng (曾文生) told members of the media in September.
