Hitachi ABB Power Grids will supply battery energy storage and smart controls to Singapore’s first virtual power plant (VPP), on a project aimed at validating methods for integrating more renewable energy onto the city-state’s electricity networks.
The project will help integrate electricity from different distributed energy resources (DERs) including solar in a way that simulates the workings of a utility-scale power system, the company said. Hitachi ABB Power Grids will provide its Powerstore battery storage technology coupled with the company’s digital controls platform, called e-mesh.
