Abstract

Global warming, fossil fuel diminishing, climate change disaster and along with more energy demand underscore the increasing value of renewable energy implementation. Energy is an important factor for countries to achieve sustainable development. Therefore, government need to actively seek renewable energy technology innovations, assess for optimization of resource inputs and strategize to proceed with effective energy strategic planning. Wind is an alternative clean source of energy compared to fossil fuel. Taiwan is highly vulnerable in energy security, but geographic conditions for the development of wind energy applications have created a considerable advantage. However, the total installed small wind energy capacity is far less than might be expected. Consequently, this study proceeds to explore the main resistance and key factors that affect small wind energy systems application in Taiwan. Through the evaluation decision-making system model and expert groups giving evaluation values and feedback, the study found the main influences factors, and propose strategies for energy development in future to improve the quality and quantity of renewable energy applications and energy competitiveness, also provides countries access to applications of wind energy technology assessment and forecasts in the future.
