GREEN ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
● Established green energy-related technologies: including well temperature measurement for geothermal energy sites; transesterification for the production of biodiesel and triacetin; biomass plasticizer composition; key techniques for water soluble high-reflective heat insulating coating; key technical principles for ecological water- soluble, stone-like coating; a two-stage vacuum process for producing perovskite solar cells; a platform to quickly screen antioxidant capacity, seawater nitrogen and phosphorus detection.
● Completed installation of the 499kWp solar energy pilot system at the Linyuan plant and subsequently sold electricity to the TPC grid. We also completed the installation of solar photovoltaic systems at 44 CPC gas stations managed by the Kaohsiung Business Division; total installed capacity is 1411.7kWp.
● Using perovskite absorber film produced in both vacuum and non-vacuum processes, we completed a perovskite solar cell module with six units connected in series.
● Ecological biomass materials developed from vegetable oil were used for surfaces in a children's playground and then adapted for similar use at Gushan Elementary School in Kaohsiung City.
● Developed modified siloxane polymer materials to overcome corrosion in an insulated environment.
● Completed the sintering of lithium titanium oxide (LTO) material at the energy storage testing workshop in Chiayi and produced a total of 370kg of LTO substances.
● The light emitting diodes (LED) used in explosion prevention, emergency escape path guidelines
and emergency lighting have passed the Industrial Technology Research Institute's (ITRI) formal inspection of the mechanical, electrical and explosion prevention characteristics of electrical equipment. These outdoor- use LED lighting products have been installed in multiple business operations.
● We have established five types of antioxidation analysis methods - including the clearance of 1,1-Benzophenone- 2-DPPH free radicals; evaluation of chelating effects on ferrous ions; evaluation of restorative power; capacity for clearing superoxide anion; total polyphenol content – together with a type of functional analysis and evaluation of whitening effects.
● Initiated trial mass production of non-crystalline carbon materials, which has produced a monthly total of 800 kilograms of green cokes.
● Conducted trial mass production of heavy oil upgrading to refined pitch and completed process design – specifically, a duct and instrumentation process diagram, with detailing of pipelines plus equipment and instrument specifications.
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
CPC PREPARES FOR THE FUTURE: ONGOING OVERHAUL AND UPDATE OF ITS IT SYSTEMS
CPC's vision for information development comprises free-flowing information over secure networks, precise real-time settlements, universal access to information and most importantly, user- oriented and convenient services. The goal is to get closer to the market and embrace customers. To realize this vision while upholding strategic business goals and meeting the challenge of competition, CPC’s information development initiatives emphasize the continuous integration of corporate information systems, provision of real-time management information for
