太陽相關能源的機會與挑戰－從地震海嘯引發福島核電事故談起
Energies from the Sun: Opportunities and Challenges after Japan's Nuclear Crisis
摘要
本文從311東日本大地震引起核災事故談起，試圖分析該事故後所帶來的機會與挑戰，並分析可能的核能替代方案。如何珍惜地球的環境，又能夠享受到經濟的繁榮，是一個兩難的問題。所幸，一些新科技的進展，如磁性材料的開發與低價太陽能電池的量產，讓人類有機會用智慧找出解決方案。太陽能或風力發電的不穩定性，有機會使用中間儲存媒介來解決。惟目前來說，太陽能每瓦裝置價格，考慮儲能需求仍無法與核能競爭。未來，我國若能在製程改進與技術改良上，讓每瓦裝置價格降至0.8美元，將能有機會引領世界終結核能夢靨，迎向綠色能源，建立無核能威脅的家園環境。

After the Japanese earthquake, the whole world was threatened by the induced nuclear crisis. The alternative power sources to nuclear power generation are greatly desired. However, how to cherish the earth's environment, but also to enjoy economic prosperity, is a dilemma. Fortunately, some new technological advances, such as the development of magnetic materials and the lowered production cost of solar cells, have opened the chances for the solution. In this report, aimed on this issue, we make a survey and try to evaluate the costs of using the alternative energies. It is suggested that to replace the nuclear energy, suitable energy storage systems to overcome the instability of the renewable energies (such as photovoltaic and wind energy), should be employed. Nevertheless, the current capital cost of the solar system in $/W, considering storage, still can not compete with that of nuclear energy. It is recommended that the government should devote more resources in technique researches and process improvements so that the capital cost of the solar system can be reduced down to 0.8$/W, to compete with nuclear energy. And eventually, we expect the achievement will lead the whole world to cast away nuclear energy and embrace the green energy.
