Abstract

The wind blowing in from the Taiwan Strait regularly blasts across Changhua Coastal Industrial Park. On this expanse of reclaimed land outside Taichung, Taiwan's second largest city, 80 wind turbines, a pair of gas-fired power plants, and 4.3 square kilometers of solar farms generate electricity for Taiwan's grid. More than 170 wind turbines installed offshore in the strait send more than a gigawatt of power to a hulking, typhoon-ready substation, its circuits primed for more power coming within months. Shiny new transmission towers strung with steel cables lead to a second massive substation, still under construction, which will absorb 2 gigawatts of additional offshore wind power.

为台湾的硅盾提供动力

从台湾海峡吹来的风经常吹过彰化沿海工业园区。在台湾第二大城市台中市外的这片填海土地上，80 台风力涡轮机、一对燃气发电厂和 4.3 平方公里的太阳能发电场为台湾电网发电。安装在海峡近海的 170 多台风力涡轮机将超过千兆瓦的电力输送到一个庞大的、可抵御台风的变电站，其电路已为几个月内的更多电力供应做好了准备。闪亮的新输电塔用钢缆串联起来，通向第二个仍在建设中的大型变电站，该变电站将吸收额外的 2 千兆瓦海上风电。
