Energy microgrid Singapore

What is Singapore's new microgrid?

The microgrid, specially designed for Singapore’s tropical climate, will integrate gas, electricity and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network. It will seamlessly incorporate renewable sources of energy such as solar energy and energy storage technologies.

Will Singapore have a multi-energy microgrid?

With the expected completion of the new SIT@Punggol campus around 2023, it will be the first university in Southeast Asia to have a multi-energy microgrid network. The microgrid, specially designed for Singapore’s tropical climate, will integrate gas, electricity and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network.

Will Singapore get the largest private microgrid installed in 2024?

What is a micro-grid & how will it benefit sit?

The micro-grid will integrate gas, electricity and thermal energy into a unified smart energy network. It will enable SIT to tap green energy sources such as solar energy and energy storage technologies, save energy and eliminate carbon emissions, equivalent to removing close to 2,000 vehicles off the roads.

Could microgrids help Singapore Go Green?

Over a decade ago, microgrids were a novel concept in Singapore. But now, these self-sufficient energy systems, capable of supplying solar electricity to small communities, could become an important part of Singapore’s efforts to go green – with testbeds on Pulau Ubin and at the Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) upcoming Punggol Campus.

Will sit's Punggol microgrid be a test bed for new energy systems?

The microgrid at SIT's future Punggol campus will have features that serve as a test bed for novel energy systems. PHOTO: SIT SINGAPORE - The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) is set to get the nation's largest private microgrid installed on its premises in 2024.
