SINGAPORE – As Singapore seeks to harness as much sunshine as it can to maximise its limited renewable energy sources, it needs to improve technologies that can store excess solar energy from the day. One such technology is energy storage systems (ESS), which are essentially giant batteries packed in containers that store electricity for later use.

Energy Storage Systems for Singapore3.1 ESS has unique characteristics as it can act as both a load and a generator, allowing it to time-shift energy by charging and storing energy, and discha ging the energy later when required. Depending on the technology and characteristics, ESS can provide short or sustained response. The mai
EMA Chief Executive, Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, said: “Energy storage systems are one of the most promising solutions to help Singapore integrate more solar energy into the power grid. We have been working with partners to facilitate the deployment of different ESS solutions.
The Singapore government has implemented a good number of initiatives to ensure the resilience of the energy grid, including the use of energy storage systems (“ESS”).
Although Singapore has one of the most reliable electricity grids in the world, However, as Singapore looks to renewable energy and power imports to transition to a low-carbon energy system, and moves towards the electrification of its transport system, it is increasingly vital to ensure that its grid infrastructure remains stable and resilient.
Singapore''s Energy Transition
Energy Storage Systems (ESS) play an important role in overcoming this constraint: • Maintain grid reliability by actively managing mismatches in electricity demand and supply; and • Provide regulation services to address second-by-second fluctuations in our power grid.
