Strait Ahead: Toward a Sustainable, Economic, and Secure Electricity Supply in Singapore

Scope of electrical distribution system architecture considering the integration of renewable energy in large and small scale

“…The number of loads, type of storage system, or technology used depends on the designer and the user needs. Nowadays, the research is focused on the development of the microgrids as a test bed for new topologies and functions [42], [43]. The integration of DGs linked with storage closed to the user is proposed in ongoing projects.…”

“…The use of photovoltaic panels is considered in [31], [34][35][36][37]. Hybrid energy considering wind turbines, photovoltaic panels and fuel cells is studied in [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. On these projects the loads considered are buildings, houses, commercial loads, factories, and controlled and non-controlled loads.…”

Investigation on solar PV and battery system penetration in Singapore distribution power networks

“…The PV power system can help to meet the typical loads supplied by the electric power utility infrastructure [15] [12] [13] [14]. However, as the installed capacity of this technology grows, at some point this assumption will no longer hold true.…”

A multi agent system based control scheme for optimization of microgrid operation

“…In terms of implementation, microgrid related research and development (R&D) activities involving ongoing pilot projects and research related experimental setups which serve as a testbed for microgrid R&D have been widely reported in many countries. In Singapore, a SGD$1.32 million microgrid energy management system (MG-EMS) project funded by the Agency for Science, Technology And Research (A*STAR) was completed by a team of researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in July 2011 [34]. A schematic illustrating the 0.4kV microgrid and the MicroGrid Energy Management System (MG-EMS) developed in Laboratory for Clean Energy Research (LaCER) at NTU is shown in DERs.…”

“…A schematic illustrating the 0.4kV microgrid and the MicroGrid Energy Management System (MG-EMS) developed in Laboratory for Clean Energy Research (LaCER) at NTU is shown in DERs. In addition, the construction of a 1-MW experimental microgrid testbed located in Jurong Island was also completed in November 2011 [34]. In the European Union (EU), a number of microgrid research, development and demonstration (RD&D) projects were extensively studied where two major research efforts were dedicated in particular to microgrids.…”
