“…Although the damage directly to onshore wind turbines by earthquakes has not been reported, one investigation recorded wind turbine tilting that was caused by soil liquefaction at an onshore windfarm in Kashima, Japan, as a result of an earthquake on 11 March 2011 [8]. Kao and Pearre [9] suggested that Japan is not suitable for conventional, fixed offshore wind turbines because most of its coastal waters are very deep and typhoons and earthquakes occur frequently.…”

Many countries have increased the use of renewable energy and strongly promoted offshore wind power (OWP). However, OWP in Asia is in the preliminary stage of development, for which no precedents exist. The literature on wind energy generation has mostly investigated the causes of onshore wind turbine accidents and risk prevention, and more work on the risks associated with domestic OWP is required for energy market development. According to statistics on international wind power accidents, most offshore accidents occur in the construction and operation stages. Therefore, this work investigates risk management in the construction and operations of offshore windfarms in Taiwan. The goal is to help decision-makers to understand better the risks of the industry and so more effectively manage them. In this study, risk factors are identified from organizing data in the literature, and research methods and action strategies are developed. Research and analysis follow the risk management steps in the PMBOK® Guide (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge). The risk rankings and preventive measures that are based on the results of this study can serve as references for relevant industry personnel in island cities and nearby Asian countries to reduce risk in the management of OWP projects.

“…For years, Taiwan has relied on imported petroleum to generate electricity. However, as the costs of raw materials have increased worldwide, regions that have long relied on imported raw materials to generate power have suffered detrimental effects [ 1 ]. Therefore, faced with such a change in the global environment, Taiwan must actively promote energy transition and produce renewable energy on its own [ 2 ].…”

With the active development of offshore wind power worldwide, the development of a green and ecofriendly grouting material (GEGM) has garnered global attention. Such a material must also be developed in Taiwan. Therefore, in this study, a series of environmentally friendly recycled materials were mixed in different proportions to develop a GEGM which can be implemented in the future construction of offshore wind turbines. To evaluate the mechanical properties of the GEGM, low water-to-binder (W/B) ratios (i.e., 0.21, 0.27, and 0.35) were used; cement was replaced with fixed amounts (20%) of ground granulated blast-furnace slag and fly ash; 2%, 2.5%, and 3% superplasticizers (SPs) were added; and two levels of sand content (60% and 70%) were used. The setting time of the GEGM was used to evaluate its workability; its compressive strength and flexural strength were used to evaluate its mechanical properties; and its sulfate resistance, length changes, and four-terminal resistance were used to evaluate its durability. The relationship between the durability and drying shrinkage of the GEGM was subsequently evaluated, and the ratio of final to initial setting times (F/I value) was calculated to determine the effects of the amount of SP added on workability. The highest F/I value (7.7) was achieved when 2 wt.% modified lignin sulfonate (MLS) was added because of the high viscosity of MLS, which compromised the workability of the concrete. The optimal compressive strength (83.62 MPa) was achieved when a W/B ratio of 0.21 was used, when the sand content was 70%, and when a 2% polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) was added, whereas the optimal flexural strength (20.86 MPa) was achieved when 2.5% PCE was added. According to the nondestructive test results and the R2 value (>0.7) obtained from regression analyses of mechanical properties, the study results are reliable and may serve as a reference for future construction projects.

“…The literature on Taiwan's offshore wind energy has primarily focused on achieving scientific and technological breakthroughs in offshore wind energy [8,9]. Few studies have contributed to improving administrative and regulatory measures to support the development of offshore wind energy [10][11][12][13]. For example, Huang et al [10] applied a technological system to study the status of wind power in Taiwan from 2000 to 2007 and provided strategies to increase the market penetration of wind power technologies.…”

“…These two references provide thoughtful insights into the economic outlook of Taiwan's OWE policy in the early stage, but there was little discussion about offshore wind development after 2010. Kao et al [12] offered an updated proposal for Taiwan's offshore wind energy, one that emulated Japan's administrative model to improve Taiwan's regulatory measures of offshore wind energy development. Specifically, their study recommended consideration of offshore wind issues within the scheme of an ocean policy framework rather than energy policy.…”

Taiwan’s Offshore Wind Energy Policy: From Policy Dilemma to Sustainable Development

Taiwan’s offshore wind energy policy (OWE policy) is a response to sustainable development goals. Offshore wind energy has become one of the fastest growing renewable energies on Taiwan’s coastline, with the government’s full support for the promotion and implementation of the OWE policy. With the operation of Taiwan’s first wind farm in 2021, increasing controversies are specifically concerned with the distribution of social, economic, and environmental burdens and benefits resulting from the OWE policy. More offshore wind farms are forthcoming by 2025. However, little attention has been paid to policy dilemmas for many aspects relevant to sustainable development. Therefore, this paper conducts a policy analysis to construct policy-relevant information of the OWE policy and identifies policy dilemmas in relation to concerns about sustainable development. This paper presents policy recommendations on the design and decision-making processes for facilitating the smooth promotion and implementation of Taiwan’s OWE policy and future renewable energy policies.
