離岸風電無人載具及中繼載臺應用之探討

Discussion on the Application of Unmanned Vehicles and Relay Platforms for Offshore Wind Power

隨著國內離岸風機陸續完工及運轉，運維管理需求日益提升，無人載具（Unmanned Vehicles，UVs）技術已逐漸成為風場安全檢測與維運作業的核心工具，涵蓋水下無人載具（Autonomous Underwater Vehicle，AUV）與水面無人載具（Unmanned Surface Vehicle，USV）及空中無人機（Unmanned Aerial Vehicle，UAV）等，惟目前國內無人載具應用仍受限於法令規範、天候及本土技術發展不足等挑戰，尤其在強化技術研發方面亟待投入更多資源，以因應未來市場需要。為促進無人載具技術在離岸風場的安全應用，本研究彙整歐盟、美國與亞太地區之無人載具以及載具與中繼載臺協作之開發案例，分析不同類型的無人載具與中繼載臺在全球之設計開發、應用領域、性能要求及整合之方法等，提供我國未來載臺技術發展的參考方向及建議。

As domestic offshore wind turbines are completed and put into operation one after another, the demand for operation and maintenance management is increasing. Unmanned Vehicles (UVs) technology has gradually become the core tool for wind farm safety inspection and maintenance operations, including underwater and surface unmanned vehicles (AUV, USV) and aerial drones (UAV). At present, the application of unmanned vehicles in China is still limited by challenges such as laws and regulations, weather and insufficient development of local technology. In particular, more resources need to be invested in strengthening technology research and development to meet future market needs. In order to promote the safe application of unmanned vehicle technology in offshore wind farms, this study has completed the development case summary of unmanned vehicles and vehicle and relay platform collaboration in the European Union, the United States and the Asia-Pacific region, analyzed the design and development, application fields, performance requirements and integration methods of different types of unmanned vehicles and Maritime support offshore platforms around the world, and provided reference directions and suggestions for the future development of platform technology in Taiwan.
