Schneider Electric, Engie start work on micro-grid demonstrator in Singapore

Energy management and automation specialist Schneider Electric SA (EPA:SU) on Monday said it signed a tripartite agreement with Engie Lab1 and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to develop a renewable micro-grid demonstrator in Singapore.

The new initiative is part of the existing Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator in Singapore (REIDS) project located on Semakau Island. Led by NTU with a consortium of partners, the REIDS aims to develop a micro-grid demonstrator to address the energy access challenge in off-grid areas and islands by integrating various renewable sources and storage systems.

The partners will look for scalability and ability to start from both greenfield system and brownfield system through a plug and play approach, a power control module allowing up to 100% intermittent renewable integration, and a multi-fluid optimization module to enhance synergies between different decentralized energy resources.

Engie SA (EPA:ENGI) and Schneider Electric SA recently announced they will partner on digitising the energy sector.
