碩士 === 中原大學 === 電機工程研究所 === 100 === According to the "2012 Energy Statistics Manual 2010" of the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs, the carbon dioxide emission of the electricity supply sector approximates 150 megaton, which takes 57% of total carbon dioxide emission in Taiwan. Thus, the electricity supply sector plays an important role in achieving the goal of reducing carbon dioxide emission. This thesis aims at developing an analytical model for the reliability evaluation of Taiwan's electricity generation system, and further evaluating the cost and carbon emission under different power generation mixes. Based on the model, we analyze the different methods of reducing carbon dioxide, and evaluate each generation mix program in terms of the reserve capacity, generating costs, loss of load probability (LOLP), expected unserved energy (EUE) for the period of 2015 through 2025. This thesis takes both the power generation mix and the demand side management into consideration. We propose the generation mix and demand side management programs which are feasible and applicable to Taiwan and thus can be based as an important reference for framing the future low-carbon electricity supply in Taiwan.
