在能源供需平衡間受到衝擊的今日,石油價格不斷上漲及有限的存量,使得科學家們急欲尋求並開發可替代的再生能源。台灣地區儘管適合發展風力發電並且頗有成果,但受到季候的限制導致在弱風期(4-9月)風機發電效益大打折扣。另一方面,台灣地區位處亞熱帶,陽光充足、日照時數長,太陽能產業成為新興起的重要產業。本研究進行台灣地區日射量、日射延時分析,評估地方發展太陽能發電潛勢,並研擬太陽能光電系統的發電推估計算模式(並得以實測數據驗證)與Chang等(2003)的風能發電推估模式結合進行發電量模擬。 本研究結合風能與太陽能這兩項天然的再生資源成為新複合式能源系統,擷取風能與太陽能優勢互補。並以兩種不同規格風機搭配相對應率定發電量之太陽能發電作為複合發電,並選取臺灣地區(含離島)六個測站,即新竹、梧棲、成功、恆春、蘭嶼與澎湖等作為模擬案例研究與成果探討。本研究模擬結果發現在澎湖地區結合風能與太陽能兩種再生能源可得到高互補性,並兼得到高發電量,最適合發展此兩者複合再生能源系統,整年能提供穩定供電量使得發電不受到季候限制。
Nowadays, the impact of the balance between the energy supply and demand, continually uprising price of petroleum and its limited saving make scientists to be eager to search for a new renewable energy source that can be substituted. In Taiwan, even though the geographical background is quite suitable for developing wind power, the efficiency of wind turbines during weak wind periods (from Aprill to September) is much detracted because of the seasonal monson and climate influence. On the other hand, Taiwan is located in the subtropical region with sufficient soalr radiation and enough sunshine duriation in weak wind periods to develop solar energy. It has been also becoming a newly rising industry. As a result, this reaserch is to analyze the trend of soalr radiation and sunshine duriation in Taiwan and to approach a formula for stimulating the electricity of the hybrid wind-turbine-PV-system in Taiwan. This study combines wind energy and solar energy as a hybrid energy system to take both advantages of two systems. Two different kinds of wind turbines with various PV systems at six strong-wind locations (Hsinchu, Wuchi, Chenggong, Hengchun, Lanyu and Penghu) in Taiwan are studied and discussed. The results shows that the hybrid system in Penghu has the best operation condition in obtaining the benefits of combining the two renewable energy. This location has the most stable amount of electricity during the whole year.
