EMA | Micro-grids
Learn how Singapore is exploring the potential of micro-grids as the power sector moves to reduce its carbon footprint.
As self-sufficient energy systems that serve a certain area, micro-grids could be more widely deployed in Singapore in the decades ahead. Recently upgraded and expanded, the Pulau Ubin Micro-grid features a test-bed which can potentially meet 90% of the daily electricity demand in the main village using solar power.
Over a decade ago, microgrids were a novel concept in Singapore. But now, these self-sufficient energy systems, capable of supplying solar electricity to small communities, could become an important part of Singapore's efforts to go green – with testbeds on Pulau Ubin and at the Singapore Institute of Technology's (SIT) upcoming Punggol Campus.

The core consists of three parts - photovoltaic power generation, energy storage batteries, and charging piles. These three parts form a microgrid, using photovoltaic power generation to store electricity in the energy storage battery. When needed, the energy storage battery supplies the electricity to the charging pile.
