I am interested in one thing: Taiwan's ruling party, the DPP, opposes nuclear power plants and rejects any compromise despite the latest technological developments.

看好核融合發電 微軟簽下第一份商業購電協議 自由 20230512

被稱為「人工太陽」的核融合發電,在許多專家眼中還有數十年之遙,但是美國電腦公司微軟認為,可能在不久的未來就能實現。微軟與美國研究核融合技術的Helion能源公司10日宣佈,雙方已經簽訂購電協議,Helion將在5年內提供微軟使用核融合技術產生的電力

根據《華爾街日報》、《路透》報導,據信這是第一份核融合電力的商業協議。Helion這家新創公司獲得發展生成式人工智慧機器人ChatGPT而聲名大噪的OpenAI創辦人阿特曼(Sam Altman)支持,致力於2028年前開始利用核融合產生電力,1年後發電量目標至少50百萬瓦(megawatt)的電力,1百萬瓦電力通常可以供應美國約1000戶電力需求。

目前有多個政府實驗室、30多家民間企業在拚核融合發電。核融合與目前核能發電使用核分裂反應不同,是利用原子被加熱到極度高溫後,融合成一個更重的原子,釋放能量。目前在地球上進行的核融合反應還無法持久,而且需要輸入能源大於能產生的能源。

Helion目前為止募得5億7000多萬美元(約新台幣175億元),OpenAI執行長阿特曼2021年出資3億7500萬美元。該公司2021年成為第一家民營公司讓核融合溫度達到攝氏1億度,而理想溫度是要大約2億度。

Helion公司創辦人兼執行長柯特利(David Kirtley)說,「50百萬瓦是商業規模核融合的第一大步,所帶來的收益直接回饋到讓我們開發更多核電廠,並且盡快讓核融合電力在美國和國際上接上電網」。他說,Helion使用的第7代裝置「北極星」(Polaris)應可在明年上線,該裝置採用高功率電磁脈衝來達到核融合。

微軟總裁史密斯(Brad Smith)宣佈這項消息時說,Helion在核融合方面的研究「為我們達成長期乾淨能源目標提供支持,並且將促進市場建立一套新的、有效的發電方式,加速帶來更多乾淨能源。」
