Taiwan’s Energy Landscape
Taiwan imports 98% of its energy. Under the “Nuclear-Free Homeland” policy, green energy and gas-fired power generation are prioritized. By 2025, gas-fired power is projected to reach 50% of the energy mix, driving power plant construction and expansion, creating business opportunities, and spurring technological innovation.
1. Customer Background
General Electric (GE) and CTCI Corporation, Taiwan’s top turnkey engineering firm, secured a multi-billion NTD contract for Taipower’s “Hsinta and Taichung Power Plant Gas Combined-Cycle Units” project. This key initiative bolsters Taiwan’s energy development and power supply stability.
2. Customer Challenges
Gas-fired units operate under high temperatures, pressures, and humidity. Current high-temperature pressure gauges for boilers and steam systems are limited. With numerous measurement points across large-scale plants, unclear or unreliable gauges can hinder efficiency, raise safety risks, and increase costs.
3. Customer Needs
Gas-fired plant construction demands robust measurement solutions for high-temperature, high-pressure environments. Boilers and steam systems require durable instruments meeting strict material standards for safety and longevity. Remote data monitoring is also needed to enable clear pressure readings, reduce on-site inspections, and boost efficiency.
