A1-1 Taitung Local Green Energy-Hot Spring Geothermal Power Generation

       Compared with traditional geothermal power generation that requires drilling geothermal wells, this system does not require high-cost equipment and complex technologies, and also can take into account both economy and environmental protection. This result can be applied to and promoted in the hot spring industry. The existing hot spring can be used directly as a heat source, and the adjacent stream water can be used as a cold end. The principle of the Seebeck effect is used to generate electricity without rotating components and no noise is generated. This system does not affect the physical or chemical properties of the hot springs. Besides, hot spring water flowing out of the power generation system can still be used by consumers for bathing. The remote monitoring system obtains real-time data from sensors, such as voltage, current, and temperature. After being processed by the microprocessor module, it is sent to the host’s large database wirelessly, and the information can be displayed in real time as the basis for analysis and decision-making. This project aims to design an independent hot spring power generation intelligent monitoring system. This system requires little software and hardware space and is very convenient to build in any place with hot springs. It will improve the utilization rate of hot spring heat, the stability of the power generation system, and also the real-time monitoring. In the future, the scale can be further expanded to provide new renewable energy applications in the eastern region.
