耐候型「區塊新能源」之農地光能、農地風能、農地溫能創新及應用

Abstract

目前能源政策中，以能之源、能之儲、能之輸、能之用、能之省、能之節為被肯定的能源政策科技之切入視角。其中以上為關於能之源的現況，由於可再生能源之獲得有其環境條件及天候因素之限制，獲得能源之地點，與使用能源之地點，通常不在同一區域，因此在能源政策中，由能之源須搭配用以因應天候變化之能之儲。因應遙遠及散落各處之用電需求，而需連結現有電網以完成能之輸之運作。另外，因應百工百業、食衣住行及教育等民生需求而使用能源產生所需運作功能之能之用，目前已注意到運作時提升效率以減少耗損之能之省，以及合理使用之能之節。節能減碳從提出到被認同目前已是舉世潮流，個人觀察到矛盾現象。世界並非靜止的，隨AI產業之發展無論是暫態或是常態，在可預見的未來，人類對能源需求只會增加而非減少。雖然世人在開拓能源及使用能源時已注意減少碳排，但開拓可再生能源成為目前能源政策之一環，因總量增加，目前全世界的碳排總量不減反增。研究者詳思上述能源政策及參閱相關報導，發想若由目前大型化、專區化的能源政策中找出具有能發展成足夠規模、足夠數量、有意義、有後續發展性的創新構型的「耐候型『區塊新能源』之農地光能、農地風能、農地溫能創新及應用」，則可對整體能源政策之推廣有顯著及有貢獻之助益。研究者經過創思選定由農地光能、農地風能、農地溫能各種不同型態之再生能源經創新科技整合成「耐候型『區塊新能源』之農地光能、農地風能、農地溫能創新及應用」。整合後「耐候型『區塊新能源』之農地光能、農地風能、農地溫能創新及應用」之特色如下：一、發電及用電在同一場域只需低壓配線，不需高壓輸電，提高整體效率。為一種可獨立運作之就地授能就地用能之自給自足之型態。二、初步尋求探討建立中小型規模之「耐候型『區塊新能源』之農地光能、農地風能、農地溫能創新及應用」以較低設置成本及較低運作成本，應用於需要電能及/或溫能等多元能源型態，以供「植栽溫室」、「魚菜共生」、「植物工廠」之運作進而提供無毒安全之農業環境進而改善食安問題，生產有機或較高價值之農漁產品。三、同場域可提供「淺層溫能冷藏設施」以內部較低溫環境就地將農產品作適溫保鮮。四、提供緊急熱浪之高溫避難。 五、可置於電能儲釋放裝置（Electrical Energy Storage Device, EESD）避免發生如高雄國際知名頂尖鋰電池廠熱失控爆炸之風險。Within contemporary energy policy, six technological perspectives are widely acknowledged: energy sourcing, energy storage, energy transmission, energy utilization, energy saving, and energy efficiency.Regarding energy sourcing (能之源), the harvesting of renewable energy is constrained by environmental conditions and meteorological factors, leading to inherent supply intermittency and geographical disparity between the sites of generation and the locations of consumption. Consequently, a key tenet of energy policy is to couple energy generation with modes of storage (能之儲) that is adaptive to weather and geographical variability. Furthermore, integrating energy sources with the existing power grid is essential to mitigate supply variability and enable effective energy transmission (能之輸).In addition, energy utilization (能之用) responds to society's demand for energy to support various sectors, including industry, commerce, and essential daily activities. Within this context, particular focus is now placed on two complementary principles: energy saving (能之省), which emphasizes improving operational performance to minimize waste, and energy efficiency (能之節), which involves the rational and judicious use of energy. A significant paradox emerges despite the widespread adoption of “energy saving and carbon reductions objectives. While the global community strives for decarbonlization, total carbon emissions continue to rise. This contradiction stems from a simple reality: the world is dynamic. Factors such as the rapid expansion of the AI industry and other technological advances are driving an overall increase in humanity’s energy demand for the foreseeable future. As a result, even though renewable energy development is a central policy focus, it is being overwhelmed by the sheer growth in total energy consumption, leading to a net rise in global emissions.Drawing upon a thorough research of the aforementioned energy policies and referencing a study on small-scale, distributed renewables, this study posits that a significant contribution to the national energy strategy can be made. This would be achieved by developing an innovative model that complements current large-scale, centralized policies. This study proposes a model with the aim of advancing ”Innovations and Applications of Climate-Resilient Renewable-Energy Blocks for Farmland Solar, Wind, and Geothermal Energies,” which integrates agrivoltaics, on-farm wind energy, and geothermal thermal energy. The configuration is conceived as a scalable, replicable, and sustainable framework, designed to be implemented at a sufficient scale and magnitude to deliver meaningful and lasting developmental impact.Through a dedicated process of creative conception, this study presents an integrated model of various forms of renewable energy from agricultural land—specifically agrivoltaics, on-farm wind energy, and geothermal energy—using innovative technologies. This synthesis has culminated in the development of the framework, formally titled the “Innovations and Applications of Climate-Resilient Renewable-Energy Blocks for Farmland Solar, Wind, and Geothermal Energies.”The resulting integrated framework, “Innovations and Applications of Climate-Resilient Renewable-Energy Blocks for Farmland Solar, Wind, and Geothermal Energies,” is characterized by the following features:1. Co-location of Generation and Consumption: By situating power generation and consumption within the same physical area, the system requires only low-voltage distribution and eliminates the need for high-voltage transmission, thereby enhancing overall efficiency. This configuration establishes a self-sufficient model of independent operation, enabling on-site energy empowerment and utilization.2. Application in Controlled Environment Agriculture: This research initially explores the establishment of small- to medium-scale implementations of the “Innovations and Applications of Climate-Resilient Renewable-Energy Blocks for Farmland Solar, Wind, and Geothermal Energies” model. A primary objective is to achieve lower initial setup and operational costs. The model is designed to supply multiple energy forms, such as electricity and thermal energy, to power advanced agricultural systems including plant greenhouses, aquaponics facilities, and plant factories. By providing a non-toxic and safe agricultural environment, this approach aims to enhance food safety, address food security concerns, and facilitate the production of organic or other high-value agricultural and fishery products.3. Geothermal-Powered Cold Storage: The system is capable of supporting on-site cold storage facilities that utilize shallow geothermal energy. This allows for the immediate, temperature-controlled preservation of agricultural products, maintaining their quality and freshness directly at the point of harvest.4. Shelter from Extreme Heat: It is capable of offering a protective shelter for the community, serving as a safe haven during periods of intense heat or emergency heatwaves.5. Prevention of Thermal Runaway: The design of the Electrical Energy Storage Device (EESD) specifically aims to prevent catastrophic failures, thereby avoiding the risk of thermal runaway and explosion as exemplified by the incident at the Kaohsiung ternary battery plant.
