InnovWeek ENGIE - The REIDS Initiative for Southeast Asian Islands

The REIDS Initiative for Southeast Asian Islands A Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator In 2014, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore announced the building of a hybrid microgrid that combines renewables (wind, solar, and marine energy), fossil fuels (diesel generator sets and gas turbines) and energy storage (power-to-gas). The project is supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and the National Environmental Agency (NEA). This project is taking shape with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by a consortium of ten manufacturers including ENGIE. ENGIE PARTICIPATES IN THE REIDS INITIATIVE, BY DEVELOPING THE SPORE PROJECT (SUSTAINABLE POWERING OF OFF-GRID REGIONS) The energy needs of off-grid regions (e.g., islands), focusing on residential and commercial customers. A more sustainable solution with less fuel by: - removing or reducing the number of expensive, pollutant diesel generators; - building a sustainable solution, using local resources to address local needs in the most effi cient way. An energy solution that integrates multi-fluid production, several storage capacities and various consumption facilities, by combining renewable electricity, locally produced fuel (H2 and Biogas), cold storage, and water production, to address end usages in the most effi cient way (e.g., hydrogen production and storage for mobility) overcome intermittency and avoid oversized battery-storage capacities. OUR PROJECT’S INNOVATION: THE ENERGY AND POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The project will enable the management of multi-fluid systems (electricity, hydrogen, biogas, and cooling) and different storage capacities. It will make it possible to stabilize microgrids with no or few rotating machines. It will include the demand side management of some semi-industrial building bricks (desalination, cold storage or electric vehicles).
