Leveraging Digital Solutions to Future-Proof Singapore’s Energy Gridhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Leveraging-Digital-Solutions-to-Future-Proof-Singapore-s-Energy-Grid
Media Release Leveraging Digital Solutions to Future-Proof Singapore’s Energy Grid As part of Singapore’s energy transition, the Energy Market Authority (EMA), together with industry partners, have embarked on digital projects to future-proof the nation's energy grid infrastructure. There has been good progress in the development of Singapore’s first Grid Digital Twin and Distributed Energy Resource Management System, and they will continue to be developed over the next few years. These projects will serve to enhance the resilience and reliability of Singapore’s electricity grid and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources. Grid Digital Twin 2. Singapore embarked on the Grid Digital Twin in 2021 with the aim of enhancing Singapore’s grid resilience, reliability, and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources. The Grid Digital Twin, comprising two key models - Digital Asset Twin and Digital Network Twin - is a virtual replica of the physical grid network and infrastructural assets. Created in collaboration with Government agencies, industry players and academia, research and development for Singapore’s first Grid Digital Twin for the national power grid has demonstrated good progress. Digital Asset Twin 3. The Digital Asset Twin is a virtual replica of SP Group’s electricity network assets. Developed by the SP Group, in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the Digital Asset Twin aims to enable network operators to monitor and analyse the condition and performance of grid assets, in order to mitigate potential issues. When fully developed, it is envisaged that the Digital Asset Twin will also enable informed decisions for prioritised and timely renewal and maintenance of grid assets. 4. Through in-house digital development capabilities, SP Group has built the core of the asset dashboard as well as key Artificial Intelligence (AI) engines and algorithms to integrate with sensors in real time. The SP-NTU Joint Lab will provide components of an Asset Health system and cost-effective condition monitoring sensors. SP Group targets to deploy a pilot by 2025. As costs of sensors, digital and communication solutions reduce, they can potentially be applied to the large number of distribution assets, such as the 18,000 transformers across SP’s 12,000 substations. Digital Network Twin 5. EMA has also collaborated with partners such as S&TPPO, A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), and TUMCREATE to develop the Digital Network Twin within the Singapore Integrated Transport and Energy Model (SITEM). With the development of the Digital Network Twin, it enables SITEM to make use of advanced modelling and simulation software to model the impact of additional Electric Vehicle (EV) demand on the grid and identify necessary infrastructure upgrades under different scenarios. This has provided insights to EMA and SP Power Grid (SPPG) on how substation capacity could be optimised to support EV charging. The Digital Network Twin is currently undergoing the next stage of translational research and development in order to deploy the developed solutions into an end-user software solution usable by EMA by 2025. The software solution will help to assess the impact of significant demand changes expected in the distribution grid as energy sector decarbonises. 6. A*STAR has also incorporated high-resolution electricity demand results obtained from the Digital Network Twin into a national-level energy systems model that aims to optimise Singapore’s long-term decarbonisation pathways. The effort has yielded positive initial outcomes through the identification of potential ways to reduce investment costs in the power sector over the next 30 years, as the nation seeks to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. EMA will also work with A*STAR and other partner agencies, through the Centre for Energy and Emissions Modelling (CE2M), to further improve long term power sector decarbonisation planning. 7. Through these initiatives, Singapore will have smarter and more efficient ways of monitoring and predicting the health of the nation’s grid assets and network. In addition, the Grid Digital Twin allows for a risk-free environment to study and test different scenarios. This will help future-proof Singapore’s power grid by ensuring that it is well-equipped to manage increasing electricity demand and changes in energy supply, while maintaining reliability in grid operations. Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) 8. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like solar generation systems, battery Energy Storage Systems (ESS), and Electric Vehicles (EVs) are likely to proliferate in the coming decades. This is because solar power generation and battery ESS are expected to become cheaper and more efficient, given ongoing research and development efforts as well as economies of scale. As such, it is increasingly vital to ensure that Singapore’s grid infrastructure is able to support the integration and deployment of cleaner energy sources.   9. To better optimise the management of small-scale DERs such as solar and EVs across the network, SPPG has embarked on pilot development for a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS). DERMS is a monitoring and control platform which aims to support SPPG’s network operators with real-time information and control capabilities to optimise DER connections. 10. SP Group has carried out a proof-of-concept in 2021, to explore use cases where monitoring and control of DERs could support network operations. From this first phase, monitoring and control solutions were trialled on test setup to gain first-hand experience and identify potential applications for Singapore’s context. 11. The next phase of the DERMS pilot is focused on solar forecasting and capabilities to prepare for increasing EV adoption, and will be test-bedded at selected SP substations. When fully developed, DERMS will be able to support network operators in the sustainable integration of solar and EV-related DERs into the network, while effectively managing reliability and system costs.

A digital twin is a virtual model of physical infrastructure, processes and systems that can carry out various functions such as intelligent data analysis, computer modelling and simulation and machine learning to support users in improving planning and decision-making processes. 2. The digital twin of Singapore’s national grid will comprise two key models: a. Asset Twin to optimise the planning, operations and maintenance of SP’s grid assets (such as substations, transformers, switchgears and cables). The Asset Twin is able to remotely monitor and analyse the condition and performance of assets and identify potential risks in grid operations early. This allows SP Group (SP) to make informed decisions on renewal and maintenance plans accordingly. Through in-house digital development capabilities, SP Group has built the core of the asset dashboard and the initial key AI engines and algorithms to integrate with sensors in real time. The SP NTU Joint Lab will provide components of an Asset Health system and break-through cost effective condition monitoring sensors. SP Group targets to deploy a pilot by 2025. As costs of sensors, digital and communication solutions reduce, these digital solutions can potentially be applied to the large number of distribution assets, such as the 18,000 transformers across 12,000 substations.  The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to SP and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory[1]. b. Network Twin for impact assessment on grid. This uses modelling and simulations to determine the impact of additional loads (such as charging of electric vehicles) and distributed energy resources (such as solar photovoltaics and energy storage systems) on the grid. Using an advanced software framework known as the Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO)[2], the Network Twin is able to provide EMA and SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. EMA and agencies such as A*STAR’s IHPC, S&TPPO, and TUMCREATE, have developed the Singapore Integrated Transport and Energy Model (SITEM) to model the impact of additional Electric Vehicle (EV) demand on the grid and identify necessary infrastructure upgrades under different scenarios. SITEM has provided insights on how substation capacity can be optimised to support EV charging. The first prototype Network Twin was developed as part of the SITEM project by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd. The project was funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).  IHPC is currently undertaking the next stage of translational R&D that aims to deploy the Network Twin into an end-user software solution usable by EMA engineers by 2025.  EMA will work together with A*STAR and other partner agencies in the Centre for Energy and Emissions Modelling (CE2M), which seeks to support long-term national decarbonisation planning. The initiative aims to develop a federated systems architecture that integrates the national energy system model, with sectoral models such as power and transport.  The modelling effort would better inform Singapore’s net-zero strategy, including our future power grid. 3. Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: a. Enhanced condition monitoring of assets and prioritisation of asset renewal, by having a decision tool that can identify risks and prioritise grid assets renewal plans. The tool will take into account health, utilisation and failure history of the grid assets.  b. Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads. c. Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.

SP Group Vietnamhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/international/vietnam
OverviewChinaVietnamThailandAustralia Vietnam With the transition to renewable energy and a drive towards energy efficiency in Vietnam, SP Group is building on these developments to export and acquire expertise and assets in Vietnam. We set up an office in Ho Chi Minh City in 2020 to pursue sustainable energy solutions projects.​ Visit our Asia website BCG Energy Joint Venture SP Group and BCG Energy Joint Stock Company (BCG Energy) formalised a joint venture (JV) to invest in rooftop solar and explore other renewable energy projects in Vietnam. This partnership is SP’s first JV platform in Vietnam and combines the expertise of both SP and BCG Energy to develop innovative, sustainable energy solutions, aimed at accelerating Vietnam’s clean energy transformation. The JV also announced its first rooftop solar project with Vinamilk - Vietnam’s largest dairy production company. Under the agreement the JV will partner Vinamilk to install a combined 25 MW of rooftop solar across nine factories and seven farms. This enables Vinamilk to generate 35,000 MWh (Megawatt-hour) of clean electricity annually (enough to power 20,000 four-room apartments per year in Vietnam). The JV will also make an initial acquisition of 28 MW of operational rooftop solar assets across eight commercial and industrial sites located in South and Central Vietnam. CJ OliveNetworks Vina Co. Partnership SP Group and CJ OliveNetworks Vina Co. have formed a partnership to boost Vietnam’s clean energy transformation through the development of rooftop solar projects. Both companies will combine their expertise, experience and resources in sustainable energy solutions to jointly invest, build and develop up to 50 Megawatt-peak (MWp) of rooftop solar projects across Vietnam over the next two years. The partnership already secured its first project to install and operate 2.5MWp of rooftop solar for a CJ Vina Agri Co Ltd (CJ Agri) manufacturing plant. The rooftop solar solution is expected to be operational by June 2022 and can deliver up to 3,577 Megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity annually. This effectively provides 20 per cent of electricity consumed by the facility at peak load and will avoid carbon emissions of more than 3,500 tons annually, equivalent to taking approximately 1,100 cars off the road. TKG Taekwang Vina Rooftop Solar Deployment SP Group is partnering South Korean smart grid developer and system integrator NuriFlex to develop and install up to 20 Megawatt-Peak (MWp) of rooftop solar power at three mega factories for TKG Taekwang Vina – a manufacturing leader in Vietnam. The 20MWp rooftop solar power, which is set to be operational by October 2022, is expected to deliver up to 28,000 Megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity annually, providing more than 10 per cent of electricity for the three factories and offsetting more than 22,000 tons of carbon emission annually. This project is TKG Taekwang Vina’s first large-scale injection of solar power into its energy mix. In addition, TKG Taekwang Vina will receive all the Renewable Energy Credits such as GHG emission credits generated by the 20MWp rooftop solar system.

[20200505] Media Release - My Carbon Footprint - Go Green While Beating The Heat and Staying Homehttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/dam/spgroup/wcm/connect/spgrp/78f7d811-9a10-4a3b-b864-a4afd1265117/%5B20200505%5D+Media+Release+-+My+Carbon+Footprint+Go+Green+While+Beating+The+Heat+and+Staying+Home.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
News Release SP’S MY CARBON FOOTPRINT: GO GREEN WHILE BEATING THE HEAT AND STAYING HOME Singapore, 5 May 2020 – SP Group (SP) today launched its newly enhanced Carbon Footprint calculator, called My Carbon Footprint. It enables everyone in Singapore to (1) be more aware of the environmental impact of their daily actions, and (2) adopt behaviour that saves energy and cost. This is especially useful with electricity consumption rising during the hotter period of the year and people staying at home to limit the spread of COVID-19. Typically, the average household in Singapore consumes seven per cent 1 more electricity during the months of April to August. This is attributed to the hotter months when there is higher usage of air conditioning. With an increase of work-from-home arrangements and the month-long school holiday being brought forward to May, it also points to higher electricity and water consumption. To enable everyone in Singapore to go green and consume energy more efficiently, SP Group has introduced an enhanced My Carbon Footprint which is available on the SP Utilities App. My Carbon Footprint promotes behaviour and lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions through greater awareness of the environmental impact from one’s lifestyle. First launched in December 2019, the previous version allows users to view their carbon emissions resulting from their electricity consumption. In the enhanced version, users will be able to track their emissions from not just electricity, but also their water and gas consumption. They will also be able to calculate the total amount of carbon emissions of their daily activities, according to their household profile, mode and duration of commute, frequency of holiday travel, spending habits and food consumption. Designed and built in-house at SP, the calculator is also programmed on localised emission factors. Screengrab of the result page from My Carbon Footprint can be found in Annex A. 1 Based on average electricity consumption figures for Mar 2019-Feb 2020, available at www.spgroup.com.sg/what-we-do/billing 1 Ms May Liew, Head (Sustainability & Open Innovation), SP Group said: “Using SP Group’s My Carbon Footprint, everyone can see how their actions impact the environment. Users can take steps to be energyefficient while staying home and sustain green lifestyle choices to reduce their carbon footprint. Through this, everyone can play a role in contributing towards a greener, cleaner environment for Singapore.” The average consumption patterns of a consumer in Singapore result in more than eight tonnes of carbon emissions annually 2 . To absorb this impact on the environment, more than 400 rain trees are required. On a household level, the average annual electricity consumption of a four-room HDB household is equivalent to about 1.8 3 tonnes of carbon emissions – requiring approximately 90 rain trees per household. The My Carbon Footprint enables everyone to take simple actions to lower carbon emission every day. Anyone can download the App and use My Carbon Footprint and tools, regardless of their electricity retail provider or meter type. -Ends- 2 Data calculated using My Carbon Footprint based on consumption habits by an average Singaporean as published on singstat.gov.sg, data.gov.sg or from other credible sources. 3 Based on 2018’s grid emission factor of 0.4188 kgCO2/kWh. Average monthly electricity use for a 4-room flat based on EMA figures in 2018 is 353.9 kWh. 2 About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.
