SDG 7.4.4

1. Entrusted labor service case for economic benefit assessment of fishery and electricity co-production industry漁電共生產業經濟效益評估委託勞務案

Green energy has become a global development trend, with solar power generation being a critical aspect of this movement. However, the development of solar power generation requires significant land resources, which poses a challenge in Taiwan due to its small area and dense population. Nevertheless, Taiwan possesses ample land resources in the aquaculture industry, with approximately 40,000 hectares of aquaculture area. Hence, a new aquaculture model called aquavoltaics can be developed by integrating the aquaculture industry with solar power generation. This paper employs the Cost-Benefit Analysis and Monte-Carlo Method to evaluate the economic feasibility and analyze the risk of white shrimp culture under six different aquavoltaic configurations. The results demonstrate that all six types of aquavoltaics for white shrimp culture are economically viable. Furthermore, among the ground-based aquavoltaic systems, the embankment type exhibits the highest profitability and the lowest investment risk. As for facility-based aquavoltaics, the greenhouse type represents the most favorable investment scheme.

Sustainable Impact: The proposed aquavoltaics model, integrating aquaculture with solar power generation, effectively addresses the challenge of limited land resources in Taiwan. By employing Cost-Benefit Analysis and the Monte Carlo Method to evaluate the economic feasibility of various configurations, the study demonstrates that all types of aquavoltaics for white shrimp culture are economically viable. Notably, the embankment type offers the highest profitability and lowest investment risk among ground-based systems, promoting the development of renewable energy and supporting sustainable agricultural and economic growth in Taiwan.

綠色能源是全球發展趨勢，其中太陽能發電是重要發展項目之一。然而發展太陽能發電需要大量土地資源，但台灣由於地狹人稠，土地取得困難，而台灣養殖面積約有40,000公頃，具有大量土地資源，因此將養殖漁業與太陽能發電進行整合，發展出新的養殖模式-漁電共生。本文利用成本效益分析與蒙特卡羅模擬，針對六種漁電共生模式養殖白蝦評估其經濟可行性與風險分析，結果顯示六種漁電共生養殖白蝦是具有經濟可行性的，在地面型漁電共生當中以堤岸型獲利能力最好且投資風險最低；而設施型漁電共生則是以溫室型為最佳投資方案。

2. Location-based UAV Selection via Digital Twin無人機通訊使用數位分身技術適地性基站選擇方法之研究

As the fast development of various wireless communication applications, mobile phone has become an indispensable tool in our daily life. According to the literary survey, more than 50% energy consumption is happening in the base station. Besides, more than 65% energy consumption is for the power amplifier for the base station. Therefore, it will be more contributive in energy consumption if reducing the transmitted power as low as possible with the qualified communication services. In this project, an efficient energy saving method is proposed. The proposed method can reduce more than 10 time of the unnecessary energy waste to achieve the purposes of energy saving, carbon reduction and sustainable development.

Sustainable Impact: supports SDG7.4.4 by contributing to the development of clean energy and energy-efficient technology policies. The project addresses the significant energy consumption of base stations, which account for over 50% of the energy used in wireless communication. By proposing a method to reduce transmitted power while maintaining communication quality, the project informs energy-saving strategies that governments and industries can adopt to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development. This approach helps support policy development aimed at improving energy efficiency in communication technologies.

現今隨著無線通訊系統各項應用的快速發展，手機已經成為日常生活中不可或缺的工具。根據統計，在無線通訊系統中，有超過了50%的能量消耗發生在基地台，而基地台又有65%的功率消耗在訊號功率放大器。因此，基地台若能根據不同的環境，調整不同使用者所需之功率消耗，在滿足通訊需求的條件下， 盡可能降低基地台能量消耗，則可有效使用能源。本計畫嘗試提出一個能夠根據使用者所屬環境，基地台調適適當功率消耗的方法，透過此方法，基地台能降低將近10倍以上不必要之功率消耗，達到節能減碳、永續發展的目的。

3. The 15th Annual Conference on Development Studies「Sustainability: Climate Action, Just Transition and the Future of the Ocean」第十五屆發展研究年會「永續：氣候行動、公正轉型與海洋的未來」國際學術研討會

The 15th Development Research Annual Conference, jointly organized by our center and the Taiwan Development Research Association, is titled “Sustainability: Climate Action, Just Transition, and the Future of the Ocean.” This international academic seminar attracted over 300 participants from various sectors including academia, government, and industry, both domestically and internationally.

The conference covered important topics such as social science-driven net-zero transitions, sustainable ocean use, cultural heritage preservation in port cities, and climate action. It featured three exciting keynote speeches:

Dr. Lin Min-tsong, Vice Chair of the National Science and Technology Council, delivered a keynote titled “From Ragnarok to Sustainable Value: Social Science-Driven Net-Zero Transition,” exploring the core values of technological development and the foundations of basic research and independent innovation technologies.

Professor Jiang Guoping, Convenor of the Taiwan Ocean Alliance and distinguished professor at the university, spoke on “Decoding the Tears of Mermaids: The Motivation Behind Blue Tears Research and University Social Responsibility,” sharing valuable experiences of university and local government collaboration in promoting scientific and humanistic development.

Research Fellow Leng Zegang from the Academia Sinica presented “Multilateral Governance under Geopolitics: A Case Study of Arctic Research,” examining the ongoing changes and challenges in Arctic governance and offering insights for political scholars.

The conference also featured an international forum, inviting scholars from Italy, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries to discuss sustainable ocean use, including strategies for fishing villages, observation, and urban regeneration. Additionally, there were two book launches:
