漁船發電機裝置容量選用與其運轉節能之分析

Analysis of Generator Installation Capacity Selection and Energy Saving on Fishing Boats

我國大部份的近海小型漁船其發電機裝置容量均遠高於既有負載需量，過多的發電容量將會造成發電成本的無形浪費，也就是燃料的浪費。漁船中發電機不論是由柴油引擎或推進主機引擎帶動，只要引擎啟動就會產生一定的待機運轉油耗，相對的，發電容量越大的發電機當然需要馬力較大的原動機來帶動發電，而漁民所付出的發電（油耗）成本也就越多。本文以漁船為對象，提出如何有效評估現有漁船之設備容量，以選擇適當的發電機裝置容量，進而降低漁民作業成本並達節能減碳之目的。 The generator installation capacity for most small offshore fishing boats in Taiwan is generally larger than their load demands. Due to the generation capacity adequacy, it may eventually result in a waste of money and energy. Typically, a diesel engine or a propelled engine is used to drive the generator installed in the small fishing boats. As the engine of the boats starts, the fuel consumed by the boats has been occurred. The greater the capacity installed in the boats, the higher the cost of fuel consumption. As a result, the fisherman will have to spend more money on additional fuel. The purpose of this paper is to propose an effective assessment of electrical loads installed on fishing boats for properly selecting the generator installation capacity in order to cut the fuel cost, reduce carbon and save energy.
