MAA GROUP Consulting Engineering

In order to improve the grid-connection capacity and power supply quality of offshore wind power in the northern region, Taipower plans to build 161kV Power Cable Connecting Datan~Meihu under the “Strengthening the Power Network with Offshore Wind Power Plan Phase I “ approved by the Executive Yuan.
This project starts from the Datan Power Plant in Guanyin District, Taoyuan City, passes by Provincial Highway No. 61, No. 15, and County Highway No. 117, and finally connects with the Second working area in Hukou Township, Hsinchu County, with a total length of 18km. MAA has provided detailed design services since July 2021 and expects to complete the project in May 2025.

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY
Energy is taken from nature. To find a balanced scheme between environmentally sustainable and providing energy at reasonable costs, Taipower has aggressively invested in development of renewable energy sources as well as implementing various environmental improvement measures. An ecological inspection was implemented in this project, and 13 eco-friendly measures were drawn up in the design stage, such as route planning along the existing roads to reduce habitat destruction; adopting the jacking method across the river to prevent sewage overflow and maintain the biological integrity.
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY TECHNOLOGY
The project established an active safety management system, which covers high-risk construction sites (such as deep excavation and jacking method), to provide two-way transmission of information in the construction site, and utilize handheld devices to manage personnel control and disaster warning to ensure construction workers’ safety.
