16:05 - 16:40 - Installation of photovoltaic systems in airports by applying the PPP model
Synopsis: Electricity is a factor that constrains the development of airports. Due to sustainable development and emission reduction considerations, it is necessary for airports to take action against these challenges. Considering renewable energy implementation, photovoltaic (PV) systems are being widely investigated at airports. There are 17 airports in Taiwan and most are operated by the government. Due to huge investment in PV systems, the airports applied the public-private partnership (PPP) model to construct PV systems. Two airports successfully installed PV systems on the roofs of terminals in 2013. They generate 105,000kW/h and reduce C02 emissions by 643 metric tons per annum.
