Abstract: A five-year, NT$8.09 billion project to turn Penghu, Taiwan, into a world-class low-carbon island was formally launched in 2011. The project is a major milestone in Taiwan’s development of renewable energy. The initiative, which will install large onshore wind power generators, is predicted to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 50% in 2015 from 2005 levels. The study examines the plan for large onshore wind farms and the corresponding connected network, and performs simulation analysis for the integrated wind power system. Simulation results of the system impact analysis will be a valuable reference for the government and power utility. Additionally, this study examines several successful renewable development projects on other islands worldwide, the environmental conditions for the Penghu wind energy project, and the preplanning process for the Houliao Energy Park on Penghu.
