    Environmental External Costs Analysis of Taiwan Power Plants

    自1990年歐盟開始進行能源外部性研究計畫,一直到現今,各國對於國內的發電廠對於環境所造成的衝擊評估中,「外部成本」在其中是個重要的考慮項目。各國在進行外部成本研究時,多採取衝擊路徑法評估發電廠產生之污染物對環境衝擊所造成的外部成本,評估的發電廠類型包括燃煤火力發電廠、燃氣火力發電廠、燃油火力發電廠、風力發電廠、水力發電廠、太陽能發電廠及核能發電廠等,關注的污染物皆為空氣污染物 (傳統空氣污染物、重金屬、有機空氣污染物及溫室氣體等),探討的環境衝擊類別包括人體健康衝擊、生物多樣性損失、莊稼損失、物質損害及氣候變遷等。 本研究旨在建立適合臺灣地區使用的「發電廠環境外部成本分析模式」,計算臺灣各類型發電廠之環境外部成本,能在進行各類型發電廠發電分配時提供參考。模式中發電廠類型包含臺灣火力發電廠、風力發電廠、太陽能發電廠及核能發電廠,污染物包含傳統空氣污染物、重金屬、有機空氣污染物、輻射物及溫室氣體等,衝擊類別包含人體健康衝擊、生物多樣性損失、莊稼損失、物質損害及氣候變遷。 本研究將臺灣新能源政策與國際經濟合作組織/國際能源署新政策情境兩個能源政策當作模式的情境,利用本研究所建立之「發電廠環境外部成本分析模式」進行計算,計算結果可知在減碳情境下,在風力、太陽能及核能發電廠發電比例提高的確是可以降低溫室氣體所造成的氣候變遷,其中核能對於減碳的效果更甚於風力發電廠,但以總外部成本的角度來看,提高了核能發電廠發電比例反而會使得人體健康衝擊變嚴重。 由於本研究僅著重在各類型發電廠環境外部成本的分析上,在應用上更應結合各類型發電廠之技術可行性、發電成本及臺灣地域環境限制等環境外部成本之外之因素,以便考量完整的發電廠發電結構配比。Since 1990s, European Union began the research project called "Externalities of Energy"(ExternE), for many countries'' researches on environmetal impacts of their own power plants, "External cost" has been an important consideration. Researches of external costs usually uses the Impact Pathway Approach (IPA) to analysis the impacts from power plants. This study aims to establish an "Environmental External Costs Analysis of Power Plants Model" for Taiwan to calculate the environmental external costs of Taiwan''s own power plants, and provide references when conducting the distribution of each power plants generations. In this study, we used "Environmental External Costs Analysis of Power Plants Model" to analyze the two energy policies, "Taiwan New Energy Policy" and "Organization for economic cooperation and development/ International energy agency New Policies Scenario". The results showed that for carbon reduction, nuclear power plants did better job than solar power plants. But for external costs analysis, nuclear power plants had higher external costs than solar power plants. This study only focused on the analysis of environmental external costs of power plants. In addition to conduct the distribution of each power plants generations, one should have to combine the technical feasibilities, generation costs and restrictions of Taiwan region.口試委員審定書 I 誌謝 II 摘要 III Abstract IV 圖目錄 VII 表目錄 VIII 第一章 緒論 1 1.1 研究背景 1 1.2 研究目的 2 1.3 研究架構 3 第二章 文獻回顧 4 2.1 能源政策中發電廠發展方向 4 2.1.1 國際能源政策 4 2.1.2 臺灣能源政策 6 2.1.3 臺灣電力供應及需求現況 15 2.2 發電廠環境外部成本 17 2.2.1 國外發電廠環境外部成本研究 18 2.2.2 臺灣發電廠環境外部成本研究 22 2.3 本章小結 27 第三章 研究方法 29 3.1 研究方法架構 29 3.2 火力發電廠外部成本分析方法 31 3.3 再生能源環境外部成本分析方法 41 3.3.1 風力發電廠 41 3.3.2 水力發電廠 41 3.3.3 太陽能發電廠 42 3.4 核能發電廠環境外部成本分析方法 42 3.5 發電廠環境外部成本分析模式介紹 43 3.6 情境設定 54 第四章 結果與討論 56 4.1 發電廠環境外部成本分析模式資料庫 56 4.2 臺灣各類型發電廠單位發電外部成本分析 65 4.2 情境設定 68 4.2.1 臺灣新能源政策情境 68 4.2.2 OECD/IEA 新政策情境 71 4.2.3 各情境結果與討論 74 第五章 結論與建議 77 5.1 結論 77 5.2 建議 79 參考文獻 80 附錄 8

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
