Singapore’s first energy storage system deployed at Pasir Panjang Terminal

It has a 2MW/2MWh capacity and is set to operate in Q3 2022.

Singapore’s first energy storage system (ESS) with a two-megawatt(MW)/2MW-hour capacity has been deployed at the Pasir Panjang Terminal and will start to operate in the third quarter of 2022.

In a statement, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) said the project is part $8m partnership with PSA Corporation Limited to transform the company’s port operations energy usage through the adoption of smart grid technologies and energy management systems.

The EMA and PSA awarded a consortium led by Envision Digital to develop smart grid management systems (SGMS) which included the storage system and solar panels managed by a platform which uses machine learning to give real-time automated forecasts of the terminal’s energy demand.

When a surge in energy consumption is expected, the battery will supply energy to cater to the demand, minimising spikes in the terminal's energy demand.

“During periods when the ESS is not used to manage demand, the ESS will also participate in the National Electricity Market of Singapore to provide ancillary services to the power grid and to generate revenue,” the EMA said.

“Insights from the project may also validate the possibility for commercial and industrial users to adopt ESS to serve multiple purposes, such as demand management on-site and providing commercial ancillary services to support power systems,” it added.

EMA also said that the energy storage is part of the SGMS which can improve the energy efficiency of port operations by 2.5% and reduce the port’s carbon emissions by 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually. This is equivalent to taking around 300 cars off the road yearly.

The partnership between the EMA and PSA is part of the authority’s Acceleration Energy Storage for Singapore programme for a smooth adoption of storage systems in the Lion City through the promotion of use cases and business models.

The programme also supports the EMA’s target of deploying at least 200MW of storage beyond 2025, it said.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
