Taiwan has developed electricity storage systems to ensure the military will have a stable energy supply during a potential attack. That came from National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology administrator Jen Kuo-kuang (任國光) on Monday.
Jen says main power systems are vulnerable during an attack, and the enemy can also shut down diesel-fueled power generators. He says the institute has combined green energy and power-saving technology to ensure that Taiwan’s military has a steady source of electricity during a potential invasion.
Jen adds that developing this kind of power storage system has benefits beyond providing reliable energy during an attack. By using green energy, Taiwan can also reduce carbon emissions and improve the energy industry’s production and distribution.
The institute also demonstrated some of the military’s power storage equipment, which included small and large models. Some charging equipment could be carried by individual soldiers and run on solar energy, while other larger equipment could be loaded onto military vehicles to provide electricity.
