The purpose within the community of human bonding is mostly one of enabling and facilitation. The acknowledgment of human community mainly focuses on interpersonal connections, shared memory, mutual purpose, and the strength of bonds that transcend geographic distance. Support is provided by managing informational barriers and burdens, which ensures that separation does not affect relationships and connections. The ultimate aim is to allow and support the way individuals connect, where it focuses on how people can stay in contact despite the distance between them. The core of community lies in interpersonal connection that brings individuals together across diverse continents, and the strength of the bond is measured by the depth of interactions. The focus should be on managing information burdens that may lead to isolation, ensuring that physical separations do not result in degradation of relationships. Whether it's through shared global resources or communication, it exists to ensure that every voice can be heard with respect and acknowledgement, where connections can eventually flourish. Despite the community being located in Taichung, the influences that it actually brings have motivated people all around Taiwan in a way that it authorizes the need to cooperate to maintain and ensure a more sustainable future as climate change worsens. Therefore, the community should be built on information flows, and where barriers can be reduced, so that emotional bonds remain accessible for all.
The project focuses on ecological balance and energy storage systems (ESS) in Taiwan. Its primary aim is to enhance students’ understanding of the role of energy storage systems in supporting environmental sustainability. In addition, the project seeks to examine real-world applications of energy storage systems through industry case studies, which allows students to build connections between theoretical knowledge and practical applications. Through this research, students develop a deeper understanding on strategies of energy storage systems within the context of net-zero plan.
Our project focuses on the impacts of the energy storage industry and its contributions to a more sustainable future. The project explores the development of the Energy Storage System (ESS) industry and its integration with the Energy Management System (EMS). As demand for renewable energy globally rises, the necessity for effective energy storage systems has also grown to achieve the main objectives, including improving grid reliability, enhancing energy efficiency, reducing costs, and reinforcing the integration of renewable energy sources. Our project aims to improve students and the community’s understanding of ESS technologies, their importance, and how local companies contribute to the emerging field.
In order to achieve this, our team partnered with one of the leading companies in Taiwan’s ESS industry—SEETEL Energy. Through the interview and on-site visit, we gained insight into the innovations that shaped the energy storage industry and the challenges the industry encountered. After the interview, we also conducted a community survey to understand public awareness on ESS, Taiwan’s usage of energy, and environmental concerns to achieve sustainability.
Our website presents our research through informative articles focusing on the topic of ESS and EMS, interview videos, and interactive explanations. Our website is not merely designed for a specific audience, but accessible to all publics and young students. Beyond showcasing the achievements of the company and the development of the industry, our website also highlights the deep connection between industry, local companies, environmental responsibility, and the international community.
By sharing what we learned throughout the project, we hope to spread the knowledge in a more accessible way and inspire more students to explore unfamiliar or even blind areas of knowledge, which is the thriving industry— energy storage. In addition, we signify how local companies help build sustainability and encourage the international community to contribute to a cleaner future.
We initiated this project in June 2025, right after the previous evaluation ended. One of our teammates is connected to the company's CEO, making communication and negotiation easier. Starting in July and August, the team conducted in-depth research about the energy industry. After the semester began, the team focused on company-related research, including specific management and storage systems. In mid-September, we interviewed the CEO of the company at their Taichung factory, where they showed us each process in making an energy storage battery. From September to November, the team used information gathered from the interview and online resources to write out paragraphs that would be put on the website. At the same time, some team members worked on editing the interview video. Starting from December, the team did final checkups on the paragraphs that will later be put into the website.
The project began with identifying energy storage as a key solution to the limitations of renewable energy, particularly the challenges of intermittency and grid instability in Taiwan. After conducting background research on Taiwan’s heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels and its recent expanding adoption to renewable energy sources, the team narrowed its focus to SEETEL New Energy and its subsidiary, AUROSI Precision as the case study, as the company’s advanced energy storage systems and integrated technologies effectively demonstrated the capabilities and potential of large scale storage systems in supporting stable grid operations and renewable energy deployment in Taiwan. To further deepen our understanding, we interviewed SEETEL’s CEO, Lin Sheng-Ze, and visited the company’s manufacturing facilities in Taichung, where we observed the production process firsthand and gained insight into the step-by-step conversion of energy storage products. Building on these on-site experiences, we also designed and distributed a survey questionnaire to collect public perspectives related to environmental awareness and evaluating respondent's understanding of energy storage systems. Information gathered from research, interviews, factory visits, and survey results was then analyzed and organized into coherent sections. Finally, the content was written, refined, and presented through a unique website design, allowing the project’s findings to be presented to a broad audience.
