Imagine this: An Energy Brain, brimming with intelligence amassed from large volume of energy consumption data from residential households and businesses. Together with complementary data, the Energy Brain analysed the data to offer our customers with data-driven solutions. This scenario, described by Dr Hu Yiqun, Director, SP Digital, showcases a future where data science, coupled with Artificial Intelligence (AI) can improve energy services and business intelligence to customers. “Data is the new currency in our economy. Increasingly, data provides insights and information to solve real-world problems. AI is the way for machines to extract these insights and information automatically. Through the Energy Brain, we successfully helped a shipyard reduce their electricity bills by predicting its electricity load with historical data, and optimising the Energy Storage System (ESS) to deploy energy. This helps to reduce the cost of drawing energy from the grid during peak demand,” explained Dr Hu. “With machine learning, the Energy Brain can make use of data to automate the release of electricity from the batteries, charge it back up when storage runs low,” he added. Another of Dr Hu’s project involves using data science and AI to improve the operational efficiency of SP’s metering and billing processes. By applying machine learning on the retrieval of smart meter data, we can automatically analyse and predict whether a meter reading is reasonable based on customer’s profile and usage patterns. This helps to achieve productivity gains and eliminate unnecessary on-site meter investigations. Over the last 12 months, SP saved close to S$500,000 in productivity costs, and reduced S$15,000 in man-hours. These savings enabled staff to focus on more value-added tasks to better serve our customers. “Another critical function of data and AI is fault diagnosis of our grid. AI-based fault diagnosis enables greater accuracy and shorter response time in locating fault-occurring sections, components or properties. This allows us to safeguard the health of our grid network and enhances our reliability,” shared Dr Hu. The energy sector is evolving and facing digitisation at a very fast pace.  Dr Hu believes that the energy sector can play an important role to combat climate change by adjusting the way energy is being consumed. Prior to joining SP, Dr Hu’s experience spans across academia research and development, banking, payments and e-Commerce. He describes his role at SP as one that can transform a traditional business to a digital enterprise powered by data. People always matter Dr Hu maintains that despite the digital evolution being the way forward, human interpretation of insights is the conduit between data sets and achieving business outcomes. “People matter the most. My goal is to use insights to understand our customers’ needs better, pre-empt issues and fix them before they arise. This, in turn, provides greater value and better service to our customers.” — 28 April 2020 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPSP DIGITALENERGY BRAININNOVATION YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ SP partners Pyxis to launch direct-current fast charging point for electric harbour crafts Using GET™ to help Mercatus digitally manage their tenant utilities SP Group is partnering Mercatus Co-operative Limited to deploy SP Digital’s Green Energy Tech (GET™) solutions to Mercatus’ properties.

BY SUBODH MHAISALKAR AND AMIT PATHARE CLIMATE change – a key topic during the Singapore International Energy Week – is the existential threat today. The drumbeats are getting louder, and the world is beginning to listen. On the other hand, with improving living standards, growth in global energy demand is seen as inevitable. These seemingly contradictory priorities of growth and reducing environmental impact are prompting governments and corporations to consider the challenges and opportunities presented by green growth where economic expansion is decoupled from energy usage. A large proportion of the global strategy for reduction in emissions intensity will rely on electrification and deployment of renewable energy. The world’s primary energy supply continues to rely on fossil fuels like coal, gas and oil. Renewables contribute only around a quarter of the energy mix, even though their share is growing. Driven by falling costs of solar cells and wind energy (88 per cent and 54 per cent reduction respectively from 2010 to 2019), investments in renewables capacity continue to outstrip those in new capacity of fossil fuel-based power generation. Battery costs have similarly fallen 86 per cent from 2010 to 2019, making electric vehicles progressively cheaper and easier to provide back-up for solar cells for when the sun doesn’t shine. Energy demand delivered by electricity (for example, transportation, cooking, cooling) will double from 19 per cent in 2017 to 40 per cent in 2050. This shift to renewables and electrification will require a fresh look at the power sector. The current “power grid”, designed in the late 19th century, is uni-directional where energy flows from central power plants to the customers. In Singapore, power-generation companies produce electricity which is transported to customers via the power grid owned and operated by SP Group. Integrating renewables and catering for large variable loads (such as charging of electric cars and buses) have created the need for the advent of the “Smart Grid”. THE SMART GRID Recent years have seen numerous advances in digital technologies. These advances include smart meters, communications networks and data management systems that enable two-way communication between utilities and customers. Better monitoring and control have enhanced both energy efficiency and reliability. The Smart Grid is thus an electricity network that enables integration of renewables and uses smart technologies to better serve consumers. SP Group’s Smart Grid Index 2019 compares 75 utilities from 35 countries. US and European utilities were ranked higher than many Asian utilities. This could be attributed to the US/European utilities’ continued focus on green energy adoption. Singapore was ranked 33rd (score of 66 per cent), while utilities from the Asean countries were ranked between the 50s and 60s with scores in the range of 45-50 per cent. Asia-Pacific utilities have also made significant improvements in Distributed Energy Resources, security and customer empowerment and satisfaction. US/European utilities fare better in areas including monitoring and control, data analytics, renewables integration, green energy, security as well as consumer empowerment. By one indicator – the System Average Interruption Duration Index which measures the average duration of interruption in power supply, indicated in minutes per customer – Singapore is the undisputed world leader. The Republic’s grid performance, measured in terms of both the frequency and duration of grid outages, is far better than that of even the other cities in the top 10 – including Tokyo, Frankfurt, London, Taipei and Hong Kong. Singapore’s high performance may be explained by our urban, high-density networks, continuous investments in advanced technological solutions, and the use of underground cables instead of overhead lines that are vulnerable to natural disasters. Singapore’s approach towards Smart Grids prioritises sustainable growth, energy security and affordability. The grid charges in Singapore for the average consumer are among the lowest in the world. Some consumers may be willing to pay more for fewer outages, but it is neither feasible to charge different prices according to the quality of electricity supply nor socially possible to impose high charges on everyone. As Singapore continues to strike a balance between providing reliable supply and cost to consumers, it is modernising its grid and exploring opportunities that can be pursued in renewables, data analytics, control and consumer empowerment. THE SMART GRID OF TOMORROW Source: The Business Times © Singapore Press Holdings Limited. Permission required for reproduction. Levelling up, the Smart Grid of tomorrow is envisioned to be a technology leap that will usher in the Internet of Energy, with the capability to manage millions of connected devices at all levels of the grid. Replacing today’s analog power-line transformers with power electronics will allow bi-directional energy flows, enable intelligent and remote network management, and usher in the era of a fully digital power grid. The grid will also require an added buffer of storage and demand sinks and an array of power devices that will allow it to absorb massive swings in supply and demand and cater for intermittency of renewables. These hardware improvements will be optimised by a range of software solutions driven by stochastic algorithms that integrate supply and demand movements. We can think of it in terms of a new Artificial Intelligence “brain” for the grid that can: ■ absorb and structure the vast amounts of data being continually generated by a multitude of devices; ■ deploy platforms and protocols for these devices to “communicate” with each other; and ■ adapt, learn and evolve in order to keep improving grid efficiency without compromising on security. Transactive platforms could potentially use blockchain technology with embedded encryption for power transactions enabled by ultra-fast 5G telecommunications networks. As Singapore’s challenges are markedly different from America’s and Europe’s, we require a different approach. Feed-in-tariffs, microgrids, natural disasters and transmission over hundreds of kilometres are not top challenges to the Singapore power grid. Instead, Singapore has to deploy and integrate renewables into its power system. Although the architectures of future grids are still emerging, Singapore’s priorities include clean energy generation, energy efficiency and grid resilience. Initiatives to support these include power generation from natural gas and potentially hydrogen in the future, deployment of solar cells coupled with energy storage, building and industrial energy efficiency, and electrification of transport. The time for incremental efforts is gone. A groundbreaking shift in clean energy deployment, underpinned by the right supporting infrastructure for scaleup of these solutions, is the way. In keeping with the Smart Nation vision, the Smart Grid offers an unparalleled opportunity to leverage the full potential of electrification that enhances security, reliability and affordability. This is key to addressing climate change and delivering sustainable development for Singapore. ❚ The writers are from the Energy Research Institute (ERI), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) of Singapore.

A former SP cable-jointing workshop at Woodleigh has been upcycled to be the birthplace of cutting-edge discoveries. The 23,000 sq ft site space is repurposed to be SP’s “Concept Lab”, and acts as a collaboration space for its open innovation team of 40 and co-development partners. At the Concept Lab, breakthrough ideas to solve energy challenges faced by SP and corporate customers are refined, tested and co-developed with experts from industry and academia. “We designed and built the part-lab, part-office space from scratch. We have a lab to test new concepts and technologies, and also an office space to see them at work,” explains Brandon Chia, who led the setting up of the lab in 2018. One of the major breakthroughs was a Hydrogen Energy System that powers the first zero-emission building in Southeast Asia. The system uses solar energy to extract hydrogen from water, safely stores the hydrogen and generates electricity when needed. A three-month pilot in 2019 by the team at Concept Lab and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) tackled the perennial problem of staff at one section of an office feeling warm while those in another are wrapped up in sweaters. By using a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence, temperature uniformity was achieved at the SIT’s Dover campus. This microclimate control technology reduced energy usage by more than 30 per cent. Following its success, plans to potentially scale up this technology at the SIT’s campus in Punggol Digital District are underway. “Innovation isn’t simply about new technology, it is also about relooking the business model and figuring out how new ideas can be made commercially viable and sustainable,” he explained.  The SP scholar’s diverse experience since he first joined SP in 2002 helps him consider innovation from different angles. Brandon has held various positions in SP, ranging from operations, regulatory management and risk management to business development, mergers and acquisitions and technology development, in Singapore and Australia. This puts him in good stead for his newly minted role as Managing Director of Investments for SP’s international businesses.

But because it is highly combustible, managing it safely is key. Energy utilities firm SP Group has found a way to do this, HOW IT WORKS 1 Solar panels Sunlight is harnessed and converted into electricity. This electricity is used mainly to power the lights, computers and air-conditioners in the building. 1 Battery and power conversion system with hydrogen generated using renewable energy. Its concept lab at Woodleigh Park is now 100 per cent powered by renewable energy. Energy management system Metal hydride storage tanks 3 4 Fuel cell ADVANTAGES OF HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEM • Hydrogen gas is generated using a renewable energy source, instead of fossil fuels. • Hydrogen is stored in a safe way. • Overcomes challenges such as the intermittency of sunshine, since electricity can be "stored" in the metal hydride tanks. 2 Water electrolyser Excess electricity generated by the solar panels during bright, sunny days is channelled to the water electrolyser. At this stage, electricity is used to drive a chemical process known as electrolysis, which separates water (H2O) into its two component elements, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). These are collected in gaseous form – hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2). 3 Metal hydride storage tanks The oxygen gas generated in step 2 is discharged into the environment. But the hydrogen gas is stored in metal hydride tanks comprising powder made of a special metal alloy. The hydrogen gas is absorbed by the metal alloy, allowing the gas to be stored safely at low pressure. Fuel cell When electricity is needed during periods when there is no sunlight, such as at night or during cloudy days, the hydrogen stored in the tanks is converted back into hydrogen gas by heating it with the hot Water electrolyser 2 4 2,000kWh 5 water from the fuel cell. Hydrogen gas is then sent to the fuel cell to combine with oxygen from the atmosphere, to produce electricity and hot water. SP Group’s zero emission building BY THE NUMBERS The energy consumption of the building is around The indoor floor space of the building is 574 sq m a month Approximately the monthly consumption of 4-room HDB flats It’s about the size of a 20-foot container Source: SP GROUP, GOOGLE MAPS STRAITS TIMES GRAPHICS: LEE HUP KHENG H is for clean, alternative power Singapore looking to producing hydrogen the zero-emissions way by tapping solar energy Audrey Tan Environment Correspondent As fossil fuels burn to feed the world’s hunger for energy, the blanket of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is thickening. But as temperatures climb and extreme weather events pummel various parts of the world, nations are starting to realise that greener ways of powering cities and economies are needed. Renewable energy, such as that from the sun, wind or tides, is a solution that has been widely deployed around the world. But alternative “clean fuels” such as hydrogen gas have also been gaining attention from the research community, including in Singapore. THE ADVANTAGES OF HYDROGEN The main reason hydrogen gas is touted as a “clean” fuel is that it does not produce carbon dioxide when it is burned to produce energy, unlike other forms of fossil fuel. Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas driving global warming. Mr Goh Chee Kiong, chief executive of the new energies business at home-grown energy utilities company SP Group, said: “When hydrogen gas is used as a fuel, it produces water and energy.” But for hydrogen to be a truly green fuel, it has to be generated in a way that also produces zero emissions, he said. Hydrogen is abundant in the environment, but it exists in other forms, such as water and methane. As the United States Department of Energy explains on the website of its Alternative Fuels Data Centre, “one of the challenges of using hydrogen as a fuel comes from being able to efficiently extract it from these compounds”. For example, hydrogen gas can be extracted through a chemical process known as electrolysis, which involves running an electrical current through water to split the water molecule into its component elements. Mr Goh noted: “If the electricity required for electrolysis comes from fossil fuel-generated sources, then hydrogen gas may not be that green after all.” Another potential of hydrogen lies in its energy storage capability, which can be used in tandem with renewable energy systems. Renewable energy sources are often intermittent. Even in sunny Singapore, solar energy has its limits. Overcast days, for instance, make it harder for solar panels to do their job. But if excess electricity produced during sunny, cloudless days can be stored, such zero-emissions electricity can power offices and homes even when there is no sunlight. Traditional energy storage options include lithium ion batteries, which function like the regular batteries used in home appliances. But the drawback is that these gradually lose their charge over time. Mr Goh noted the potential of hydrogen fuel cells, which, in essence, work like batteries in that they can “store” electricity generated: “In temperate countries, there is plenty of sunshine during the summer months. “If excess renewable energy generated during this period can be stored effectively over months, this green energy can be used again during the winter months, when energy consumption for heating is expected to go up.” Professor Subodh Mhaisalkar, executive director of the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), said batteries are an energy storage technology, whereas hydrogen can be used for energy storage and electricity generation. He said: “With significantly higher energy per kilogram compared with batteries, hydrogen is an ideal long-term large-scale energy storage solution. Batteries, on the other hand, are more suitable for applications that need short response periods of minutes to hours.” But despite hydrogen’s advantages, some obstacles to its wider use are that it is expensive and easily combustible. Research is ongoing to lower the costs and also make it safer to transport and use. A SINGAPORE PILOT In Singapore, SP Group is trialling a hydrogen energy system at its concept lab in Woodleigh. The system, developed in partnership with investment firm Marubeni Corporation and Tohoku University in Japan, generates green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by solar energy. The hydrogen is then stored in special tanks comprising a metal alloy. Hydrogen atoms bind to the metal alloy, allowing it to be stored safely at low pressure. Since October last year, the building, which consumes about 2,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a month – equivalent to the monthly usage of five four-room Housing Board flats – has been able to operate independently from the national grid. SP Group said this makes the buildi

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Planning for Singapore’s Long-Term Network Reliability RELIABILITY When completed by 2019, the underground transmission cable tunnel project will play an integral part of SP Group’s long-term plan to secure reliable and efficient electricity supply for Singapore. It will enable SP to plan and anticipate future network requirements. It will also allow us to install, repair and replace aging assets, and upgrade our network efficiently, with minimal inconvenience to the public. Constructions on this project started in 2012. Comprising three underground tunnels spanning 40km around Singapore, the tunnels were constructed at a depth of 60 meters below ground (the “height” of a 20-storey building) to minimise the congestion of underground utility services. These are the deepest tunnels to be ever constructed in Singapore, and will house 1,200km of extra-high voltage cables. The tunnels consist of: The North-South Tunnel – 18.5km tunnel from Gambas to May Road The East-West Tunnel – 16.5km tunnel from Ayer Rajah to Paya Lebar The Jurong Island-Pioneer Tunnels – 5km tunnel from Benoi to Jurong Island Built to last 120 years, the tunnels will allow Singapore to be equipped with optimal electricity supply infrastructure for the future and ensure that the nation will continue to have one of the best performing electricity networks in the world. — 26 June 2018 Watch this video to find out more about the transmission cable tunnel project.

7 THE BUSINESS TIMES / WEEKEND / JULY 13-14, 2024 U P F R O N T SingHealth, SP Group tie up to roll out EV chargers across SingHealth institutions By Vivienne Tay vtay@sph.com.sg SINGHEALTH and SP Group have partnered to progressively install up to 300 electric vehicle (EV) charging points across SingHealth’s network of hospitals, specialty clinics, polyclinics and community hospitals by 2028. With Singapore’s largest public healthcare cluster making a push to become greener, the first batch of 12 EV chargers were launched at SingHealth Tower in the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) campus on Friday (Jul 12). Under the phased plan, more than 80 EV charging points across Sing- Health institutions will be up by the end of 2024. These include 10 fastcharging points which can power a car in 30 minutes. The chargers are available for use by staff and visitors of the institutions in the SingHealth cluster, said Sing- Health and SP Group in a joint statement. The initiative is part of SingHealth’s decarbonisation plan to reduce emissions and encourage sustainable practices in its operations. The announcement also comes as SingHealth launches an EV – the first one – to be used by its campus security team. The cluster is evaluating the suitability of other types of EVs for its campus fleet down the road. SingHealth, established in 2000, comprises five hospitals, five national specialty centres, 11 polyclinics and three community hospitals.
