The Establishment
Considering energy as vital for societal sustainability and industrial development, it is crucial to address significant issues such as how to effectively utilize energy, establish optimal energy policies, and develop new and alternative energy sources. As an energy-importing country, our nation’s import ratio has been steadily increasing, currently exceeding 95%. Every year, the country invests billions of dollars in research and promotion related to energy issues. Each National Energy Conference announces significant energy policy measures, with the latest one proposing early measures to address the issue of carbon dioxide emissions on Earth. Energy problems have always been one of the major issues that urgently need to be resolved.
In recent years, research on energy in the country has been increasingly valued. The Energy Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has been providing strong support for energy-related research every year. Recently, there are plans to guide universities in establishing energy technology centers to enhance the scale and level of energy research, in order to address the severe challenges of domestic energy in the 21st century.
Our school’s teachers have been conducting research in this area for many years. In order to expand and enhance research capabilities, strengthen the ability to attract external funding, increase competitiveness, and engage in national and social service, the Energy Research Center was established on March 22, 1999.
Research Goals
1.Provide a place for teachers in our school to collaborate, exchange experiences, and share achievements.
2.Seek funding from relevant government agencies in a team effort to secure ample research funding for our school.
3.Conduct research on the development, usage, and conservation of energy.
4.Integrate domestic energy research units to enhance the quality of our country’s energy research.
5.To provide the government and industries with collective research findings to enhance the potential, effectiveness, and future outlook of domestic energy-related decision-making.
Research Interests
1.Development and application of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, wind energy, and biomass energy.
2.Waste utilization: Transforming waste into usable energy.
3.Energy Saving Analysis and Design: Various methods and designs for energy conservation.
4.Efficient utilization of natural resources: Such as improvements in architectural lighting and insulation.
5.Energy management system design: such as monitoring equipment, intelligent energy usage management.
Key Technologies for Promotion.
This research center focuses on current important energy issues in the country, such as the analysis of the impact of large-scale wind farms and solar power plants on the power system, planning, operation and control of microgrids, day-ahead prediction of power load, wind power or solar power generation, and analysis and improvement of power quality.

Key Technologies for Promotion
In terms of application, the Portable Automated External Defibrillator (PAED) has the advantages of being Intelligence, Simple, Safe, and Unique.
In the ‘Intelligence’ section, the Tremor Device is equipped with an emergency procedure for interpretation, utilizing physiological signal interpretation to generate sufficient energy for the treatment of patients under safe conditions.
In the ‘Simple’ mode, our control panel is clear and simple, with voice and light instructions for the emergency procedure.
In the ‘Safe’ section, we have implemented automatic hardware checks to ensure the machine remains in a usable condition at all times within a five-year period.
One of the advantages of this product is its uniqueness. Compared to similar equipment in the market, it offers the best price and weight.
Because of these features, this defibrillator is suitable for widespread use as an emergency device. In terms of core technology, the smart algorithm developed by the center has a success rate that exceeds the regulatory standards by 2%. The output shock energy meets safety standards and has therapeutic effects. The product has also obtained two patents.

Our Goals
1. Collaborate with industry to develop products related to active noise and vibration control applications.
2. Provide a research base for students interested in innovative design and involvement in the development of active noise and vibration control applications.
Key Technologies for Promotion
This technology can reduce residual noise and vibration by generating anti-noise and anti-vibration with the same amplitude but opposite phase through active noise and vibration control (ANVC) from secondary sources. In contrast to cumbersome and ineffective passive control techniques, the ANVC system effectively attenuates low frequency noise and vibration issues. It utilizes a low-cost digital signal processor (DSP) to develop and implement advanced algorithms for faster convergence and stronger anti-interference capabilities, thereby improving the application performance of actual products.
In recent years, the ANVC Application Development Center has developed advanced signal processing algorithms and implementation techniques. Several products have been commercialized and collaborations with the industry have been established to develop applications related to active noise and vibration control.
