REIDS

Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator - Singapore

A Singapore-based RD&D platform for the design, demonstration and testing of solutionsfor sustainable off-grid and urban microgrid systems


Economic development opportunity• 1.2 billion people on this earth do not have access to electricity.• An even higher number do not have access to proper sanitation, including

drinking water.• Most of this population live in Africa, in Southeast Asia and in Latin America.

The solution must be localized networks - off-grid microgrids.

The deliberate focus of REIDS is on microgrid applications for:• Islands• Remote villages• Emergency situations – earthquakes, tsunamis, refugee camps, etc..• Remote mining operations• “Fringe” networks• Military bases

Rationale for REIDS

Economic development opportunityWhile challenging, energy transitions also represent formidable technology

and economic development opportunities for energy infrastructure and

systems solutions providers.

World’s top five fastest growing electricity production regions from 2010 to 2030

Indonesia : 17,508 islands - Philippines : 7,107 islands

• 3 plus 4 microgrids on a 6.4 ha land• Capable of operating in islanded mode

at 400 V, 3Ø, 50 Hz

Resources:• PV & wind• RLC & other loads• DGs• Battery Storage• ICT infrastructure

• Microgrid inter-operabilitydemonstration and connection to remote assets (production & loads) by way of 6.6 kV Link Buses.

• Flexible allocation of local loads & assets by way of Asset Allocation Module.

• Microgrid cluster


Microgrids 1, 2 and 3 on a 64’400 m2 greenfield – Plot 2 (P2)

Three separate microgrids

400 VAC – DC distribution possible

Within each microgrid:• PV – several 100 kWp• Wind – 50 to 200 kW• Energy storage – Li-Ion, Redox flow, supercapacitors, etc.• 400 kW 3Ø passive load• Microgrid-specific loads• Possibility to connect to shared loads and sources

Each microgrid should be capable of operating in a fully islanded / isolated mode.

Inter-microgrid operation “interoperability demonstration” by way of 6.6 kVAC network.

Connection to off-P2 assets: 6.6 kVAC

• Fish nursery• Desalination plants• In-stream tidal machines• ….
