12 Background Current R & D in Singapore Project Drivers Concept Plan Implementation Conclusion 12

13 Project Drivers 1 Develop an intelligent micro grid infrastructure with renewable energy to meet electricity demand 2 Facilitate connection of close-to-market clean and renewable energy technologies for demonstration or test-bedding purposes 3 Build local capabilities in the area of smart grid design, system integration and the management of intermittent renewable energy sources 13

14 Background Current R & D in Singapore Project Drivers Concept Plan Implementation Conclusion 14

15 Whole Island Concept 15

16 Challenges of Whole Island Concept Restrictions - natural area and rare species of plants Terms of electricity supply Integration of intermittent energy sources Dynamic varying loads More reliable and cheaper electricity supply Preservation of the rustic ambience 16

17 Alternative Concept 17

18 Benefits of Alternative Concept Manageable demands Multiple residential and non-residential loads Laying of cables along access roads Better management of schedule and costs Potential expansion to other regions 18

19 Background Current R & D in Singapore Project Drivers Concept Plan Implementation Conclusion 19

20 An operator to design, build, own & operate an Intelligent microgrid Infrastructure to provide secure, reliable and quality electricity supply, facilitate test-bedding of close-to-market clean and renewable energy technologies, and test-bed its advanced grid management & control system with intermittent renewable energy resources A grant to cover partial capital costs Extend to other regions? 20

21 Background Current R & D in Singapore Project Drivers Concept Plan Implementation Conclusion 21

22 Pulau Ubin Clean and Renewable Energy Test-bedding Project is. a first-of-its-kind project in SE Asia with an intelligent microgrid infrastructure for renewable energy testbedding, a showcase of an environmentally friendly and selfsustaining energy solution for remote communities without access to power grids, and an opportunity for foreign organisations to partner Singapore based companies in deploying new energy technologies test-bedded to benefit local economies of remote regions 22
