Sustainability | Green Energy ＆ Environment/Machinery ＆ SystemThe power transformer is a crucial piece of equipment in the power system. However, it can experience various faults due to voltage fluctuations, insulation degradation, and other factors. The traditional method for diagnosing these faults, such as Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA), determines primarily the fault type based on the hydrocarbon composition and proportion of dissolved gases in the power transformer oil. However, different fault locations can lead to different outcomes. , the carbon oxide composition and proportion of the gas in the power transformer oil can help determine if the fault is related to the paper. The present invention further utilizes changes in the carbon oxide proportion over time to develop an auxiliary DGA analysis indicator for the power transformer. This uses the regular DGA report as input (no need to add new sensors), and it can help determine potential fault locations in the power transformer without shutting it down. It is also integrated into the power transformer diagnostic management platform to prevent accidents before they occur and reduce unexpected power outages through different monitoring and diagnostic methods.
Sustainability | Green Energy ＆ EnvironmentThe world is currently facing the crises of global warming and energy shortages, and energy-saving products can significantly reduce energy consumption. Electrochromic devices (ECDs) are an active dimming technology that controls temperature in vehicles and indoor environments by blocking infrared light, thus reducing vehicle fuel consumption and the energy used for heating and cooling in office buildings and homes. Additionally, ECDs have applications in antiglare automobile rearview mirrors, various displays, optical shutters, optical recording, and image storage. A typical ECD structure includes five functional layers encased between two transparent substrates: a transparent conductive layer, an electrochromic layer, an electrolyte layer, an ion storage layer, and another transparent conductive layer, as shown in Figure 1. National Atomic Research Institute (NARI) is dedicated to developing energy-saving technologies. In addition to advancing electrochromic glass technology, NARI has recently developed a flexible ion storage layer using plasma coating technology on a flexible conductive substrate (ITO-PET). This development, combined with the gel electrolyte technology from partner companies, has led to the successful creation of flexible electrochromic devices. These devices can be applied to various materials and can change color on curved surfaces, such as in sunglasses and snow goggles, as shown in Figure 2. Currently, by integrating NARI’s developed gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) lithium ion battery technology, flexible electrochromic products have been manufactured, as shown in Figure 3. The specifications of the GPE membrane are detailed in Table 1. The GPE membrane is flexible and compatible with flexible electrochromic device applications, eliminating the need for additional circuitry. The electrochromic device has successfully undergone 20,000 color change cycles in product lifespan testing, as shown in Figure 4, demonstrating its commercial potential.
Sustainability | Electronics ＆ Optoelectronics/Green Energy ＆ EnvironmentIn order to systematically perform the decommissioning for nuclear power plant, it is several necessary to establish an inventory of relevant waste based on aspects such as classification, transportation, disposal, and cost estimation. This inventory can be developed by referencing various internal data regarding mechanical, instrumentation and electrical, and civil structures of the nuclear power plant, coupled with on-site inspections and interviews with plant personnel. Through this process, an inventory of decommissioning waste including weight, dimensions, and radiation levels can be complied. Subsequently, based on the inventory findings, dismantling plans for various areas of the nuclear power plant can be formulated, facilitating the smooth progress of decommissioning-related operations.
Sustainability | Machinery ＆ SystemThis project provides energy-saving solutions for volatile organic compound (VOC) treatment equipment in the semiconductor, optoelectronics, chemical, and other traditional industries. It develops an integrated system of energy-saving adsorption concentration and regenerative thermal oxidation, which fully recovers waste heat, enhances VOC combustion efficiency, and reduces energy consumption. Key components of the system, such as activated alumina adsorption spheres and alumina heat storage ceramics, were made from active alumina and alumina extracted from aluminum dross. Recycling aluminum dross reduces landfill waste and carbon dioxide emissions, while addressing the issue of high imported material costs. Currently, extracted activated alumina has a purity over 99%, energy savings over 15%, and cost reduction by one-third. The integrated system of adsorption concentration and regenerative thermal oxidation achieves a removal rate over 98%, meets regulatory standards, and recovers over 96% of waste heat using regenerative ceramics and heat exchangers, which is comparable to the level of commercial regenerative thermal oxidizers.
Sustainability | Green Energy ＆ EnvironmentCurrently, over 80% of our country's electricity supply still comes from fossil-fueled power plants. Although many aging units have been gradually decommissioned and updated in recent years, there are still many units in the mid-term of their lifespan. Therefore, maintaining or improving the efficiencies of existing fossil-fueled power units are crucial for current carbon reduction efforts. NARI has developed the thermal performance analysis technology. The customized performance analysis models of key equipment/components (ex. steam turbine, feedwater heater, condenser) and system (steam turbine cycle) are constructed, and the utility’s operation data, design data, maintenance data, fuel prices, equipment upgrade prices, and other information are utilized to assess the efficiency loss and increased carbon emissions caused by equipment aging or deviation of the operating conditions. The analysis results provide valuable information which can help the decision making of the investment of the equipment and find out the potential operational issues. This aids in enhancing the power generation efficiency of fossil-fueled power plants and reducing their CO2 emissions.

Sustainability | AgricultureAccording to the World Health Organization, antibiotic resistance is rising dangerously high worldwide as new resistance mechanisms emerge and spread globally. With antibiotics becoming less effective, treating patients for common infectious diseases like pneumonia has grown increasingly complex and, in some cases, impossible. The global problem of antibiotic resistance worldwide affects many types of pathogens. This phenomenon has been growing for decades, and nowadays, we are faced with a wide range of worrisome pathogens that are becoming resistant and many pathogens that may soon be untreatable.

Sustainability | AgricultureAn automatic portable detection system for pathogenic bacteria includes a water inlet and outlet device, a miniature mixing device, and a detection chip. Through a micro-pump, sample water and multiple reagents are sequentially injected into the microchip for mixing, generating an analyte solution and initiating a color reaction. The detection chip is responsible for detecting the color depth of the analyte solution, converting it into a corresponding voltage value, and generating a test result upon completion of the color reaction.
Sustainability | AgricultureBoron (B) is necessary for plants during all vegetation periods. Boron is immobile in plants, so the condition of plants is determined by the fact that they constantly get this trace element. Molybdenum (Mo) has a positive effect on the growth of cereals and row crops. For normal growth leguminous plants require more molybdenum than other plants. In leguminous roots, nitrogen-fixing bacteria use molybdenum for the process of nitrogen fixation from the air. Boron and molybdenum complex as a nutrient improves the immune system of plants. Plants need boron and molybdenum throughout all vegetation, they cannot be replaced by other elements. Drought, insufficient moisture, low temperatures, and high rainfall in a short time are the factors causing boron deficiency. Boron deficiency appears due to an imbalance of boron and calcium as well as the low content of organic substances in the soil. Calcium inhibits the absorption of boron in alkaline soils.
