KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 (Bernama) -- Opus One Solutions has been contracted by SP Group (SP) to implement its GridOS® software, optimising SP’s existing distributed energy in real time and integrating more renewable energy into the grid.
According to a statement, Opus One is a leading provider of software in distributed energy resource (DER), planning, management and transactive/flexibility energy markets, and a Global Cleantech 100 company.
Building on the company’s existing smart grid initiative, Opus One and SP will undertake a proof-of-concept exercise where Opus One’s GridOS DER management platform will be deployed to enhance DER capabilities for a selected circuit.
Opus One will leverage its GridOS software to simulate scenarios in the future for the users to understand the effects of more DERs on the distribution system and how to enhance grid reliability in the scenarios.
Some specific applications will be tested with the software solution including analysing network constraints, calculating hosting capacity for DER connections and managing DER dispatch with grid constraints.
Through the proof-of-concept exercise, Opus One hopes the results will support SP in preparing Singapore for a low carbon energy future.
To combat climate change and rising electricity demand, Singapore is working to build a more sustainable, reliable and affordable energy supply with the country planning to deploy at least two gigawatt-peak of solar energy by 2030 and 200 megawatts of energy storage beyond 2025.
As a small, low-lying city-state with one of the world’s most open economies, Singapore is particularly vulnerable to the impact of climate change and as a result is now working on a US$72 billion plan to safeguard the city against extreme temperatures and flooding. (US$1 = RM4.114)
