Power supply by geothermal generating for the residents in Ayawan
Since 2020, Professor Chu, Li-Ming from Interdisciplinary Program of Green and Information Technology of NTTU started to take advantage of the temperature difference between hot spring water and stream water, converting the temperature difference into power energy, leading the students to research and develop the hot spring geothermal and green power generation system, establishing partnership with the local renowned hot spring enterprises to build up the thermoelectric hot spring power generation demonstration sites so that the electricity generated could be used for outdoor lighting at night.
- A small and medium-sized geothermal power generation system that could be scaled up according to demand was developed. Instead of digging large geothermal wells, the existing hot spring wells could be used to generate electricity through the temperature difference between hot spring water and cold stream water, greatly reducing costs and time for environmental impact assessment.
- The system was built up in Ayawan Hot Spring Resort to supply power for lighting the parking, street lamp, and women changing rooms.
- Led students to participate in achievement transformation every year, and maintain, innovate and promote the system.
