Key Challenges in Energy Transition
Two-pronged R&D approach:
•
•
In laboratory, over-the-horizon research to imagine tomorrow’s energy technologies and systems.
Large-scale energy production, storage and end-use test & demonstration projects to comfort the
public at large and public authorities that «yes we can» already to-day. REIDS focus.

PV hourly & day to day variability
The major challenge for broad and
large-scale integration of PV and
wind energy is system integration
and energy storage.
_________________________________________________________________________
Providing electricity to isolated communities remains one of the core challenges.
The solution can only be by way of local micro-grids.
REIDS micro-grid main application focus:
Island systems
Emergency situations
Remote village systems

Vision
-
Foster systemic research and development in the broad energy arena in support of Singapore
corporate and public stakeholders, thereby strengthening their position within the rapidly
growing renewable energy and micro-grid markets.
-
Support Singapore’s commitment to a path towards a broader energy mix, including a
growing renewable energy contribution, and a more rational energy end-use.
Objectives
-
Test and demonstrate, at a large-scale level, the proper integration of a broad range of
renewable energy production - onshore and offshore, energy storage and rational energy
end-use technologies to provide for the supply of a wide palette of industrial, commercial
and residential loads.
-
Provide an emblematic neutral setting research and development platform benefitting
private and public sector entities in support of their on-going efforts, as required for
prototyping, testing, large scale demonstration and eventually show-casing activities along
the complex energy technology and product development cycle.
