Media Release SP Develops Future Energy Leaders Through First Energy Managers Programme And Industry Scholarships Singapore, 2 November 2018 – Singapore Institute of Power and Gas (SIPG), as the centralised training institute for the power and gas sectors, announced today the successful completion of its first Energy Managers Programme (EMP). The pioneer cohort of 19 energy sector professionals was recognised in a ceremony during Singapore International Energy Week 2018, witnessed by Dr Tan Wu Meng, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The programme, which is under the SkillsFuture Leadership Development Initiative, is designed to build a pipeline of strong leaders for the energy sector as they address issues and opportunities in today’s transforming and disruptive landscape. Building on its inaugural run, SIPG is opening its programme to participants from ASEAN utilities and other international companies in the energy value chain, curating a broader range of experiences, perspectives and real-world applications. Mr Peter Leong, Principal of SIPG, said, “We customised this programme to help energy industry managers hone their well-rounded leadership skills through blended learning in the classroom and field trips to companies in Singapore and overseas. They have personally benefitted from networking with peers from across the value chain. They have also gleaned insights on driving advancement and innovation amidst the rapid industry disruption, in order to serve all consumers better.” Spanning five months from February this year, the programme’s first participants were emerging leaders from generation companies and SP Group. Through workshops, dialogues with senior leaders from the energy sector and government, as well as a learning trip to China, the participants were exposed to pertinent challenges the industry faces, in Singapore and around the region. They also gained valuable insights from individual coaching sessions and working on action projects. Mr Neo Bing Hui, Senior Operations Engineer, YTL PowerSeraya Ltd, said, “The Energy Managers Programme (EMP) has helped broaden my views of the industry in general, providing a different perspective of how challenges can be viewed in the energy sector. After going through EMP, I have gleaned more insights on my leadership style and how I can effectively improve communication with my team mates. I am excited to start applying what I've learnt from this programme.” The pressing need to inspire the energy sector to groom the next generation of energy leaders is why the Energy Market Authority is supporting the programme. Its Chief Executive, Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, said: “For the energy sector to embrace new opportunities and challenges, there is a need to engage and develop tomorrow's energy leaders. They will need to be agile and adopt a growth mindset to lead their organisations forward. EMA supports SIPG in playing a crucial role in providing a programme to grow our future energy leaders.” Nurturing engineering talent In developing future engineering talent, SP Group also awarded two Energy-Industry Scholarships to students from institutions of higher learning – Ms Choo Wei Ming, 19, from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Mr Muhammad Syahiran bin Jamal, 20, from Singapore Polytechnic. SP Group’s Chief Human Resource Officer, Mr Ng Seng Huwi, presented the scholarships to Wei Ming and Muhammad Syahiran, at a ceremony during the Youth@SIEW event earlier today. The scholarship serves to nurture talent for the energy sector and support students with a passion for engineering in achieving academic and career aspirations. They will join SP Group when they complete their studies. About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

Sabeco partners SP Group to install rooftop solar system across nine breweries in Vietnamhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Sabeco-partners-SP-Group-to-install-rooftop-solar-system-across-nine-breweries-in-Vietnam
News Release Sabeco partners SP Group to install rooftop solar system across nine breweries in Vietnam The combined 10.44 Megawatt-peak (MWp) solar PV system will deliver over 14,600 Megawatt-hours of electricity per year, equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by close to 10,000 tonnes annually. Singapore, 15 May 2023 – SP Group (SP), a utilities group and sustainable energy solutions provider in Singapore and the Asia Pacific, and Saigon Beer Alcohol Beverage Corporation (SABECO), Vietnam’s leading beer manufacturer and distributor, have signed a partnership to install 10.44 Megawatt-peak (MWp) of rooftop solar panels in nine breweries operated by SABECO across Vietnam. As part of the partnership, SP will install rooftop solar panels at SABECO’s breweries in Cu Chi, Lam Dong, Ha Tinh, Hanoi, Tay Do, Vinh Long, Nguyen Chi Thanh, Bac Lieu and Quang Ngai. The project, which is targeted to be completed and operational by the third quarter of 2023, will effectively provide close to 25 per cent of electricity consumed at the factories. It is expected to deliver over 14,600 Megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity annually, enough to power about 4,082 households in Vietnam. This will also help SABECO to reduce its carbon emissions by close to 10,000 tonnes annually, which is equivalent to taking about 2,200 cars off the road. Mr. Brandon Chia, Managing Director, Sustainable Energy Solutions, Southeast Asia & Australia, SP Group, said, “This partnership demonstrates our commitment to facilitate the clean energy transition of our customers by advancing the adoption of renewable energy sources for manufacturing facilities. Leveraging our comprehensive range of sustainable energy solutions, we look forward to supporting SABECO towards their energy efficiency goals and in co-creating a more sustainable future for Vietnam.” Mr. Bennett Neo, General Director of SABECO, emphasized that: “SABECO always seeks to formulate initiatives and solutions that will ensure stable and sustainable business operations for the Company. Over the past few years, we have already embarked on various initiatives covering ESG (Environment, Society and Govermance) through our 4C corporate social responsibility pillars (Consumption, Conservation, Culture and Country), as well as our Best Brewery Awards initiative that are consistent with the Corporation’s general objectives and support the National Green Growth objectives for the period 2021-2030, vision towards 2050”. In an effort to fulfil the commitment to promote sustainable development initiatives in business operations and foster a sustainable community, SABECO has developed a sustainable development model to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Part of its strategy is to reduce water and energy consumption at its breweries with the help of technology and innovative sustainable solutions. To achieve net-zero emissions, SABECO and SP will study the feasibility of incorporating other sustainable energy solutions such as energy storage systems (ESS) at selected breweries. The incorporation of ESS will allow SABECO to manage the issue of supply intermittency, as solar power can fluctuate due to weather conditions. The ESS will also maximise the solar energy produced and used at the various breweries. The recent partnership with SABECO continues SP’s commitment to contribute towards Vietnam’s sustainability targets through the proliferation of various sustainability energy solutions. Over the last year, SP announced a target to install 1.5 Gigawatts (GW) of utility scale and rooftop solar projects by 2025.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2013 Careers in Engineering Packing a lot of power Principal engineer Chan Hong Jiang relishes the unpredictable challenges that he faces in his job at Singapore Power by suresh nair PRINCIPAL engineer Chan Hong Jiang enjoys challenges and switches on when there is a major blackout. Thankfully, it is not often that power outages occur here and Singapore has one of the fewest and shortest power outages of cities worldwide, as rated by international industry indices, thanks to Singapore Power’s world-class electricity and gas transmission, distribution and market support services. “When a power outage occurs, the immediate concern is to restore the supply to affected customers safely and quickly,” says Mr Chan, 32, who has worked for seven years with Singapore Power, which covers over a million Singapore industrial and domestic customers. His team looks after the operations and maintenance of electricity distribution networks in the southern region of Singapore, which covers the Orchard Road shopping belt, Sentosa and the Central Business District area. The daily work, which he calls an unpredictable challenge, includes maintenance, repair and renewal of power equipment such as switchgear, transformers and power cables of various voltages from 400V up to 66kV deployed in the various electrical substations. “We also have to respond expeditiously to any power outages or incidents that occur at any time and restore electrical supply to affected customers,” he adds. “I have been here seven years, there is never a typical day at work. I’m always learning and growing in my job.” He relishes “bigger challenges” in national and regional projects, citing the National Day Parade (NDP) 2010 and Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games which “gave me the chance to hone my technical skills”. His role in the technical support committee for NDP 2010 was to ensure there were no power outages in the vicinity of the surrounding parade area and to have quick restoration of power supply in the event of any supply failure. Going to Guangzhou for a week for the Asian Games was “another breathtaking challenge” after China Southern Power Grid wanted condition monitoring work on the power supply infrastructure for the Guangzhou Asian Games. “I was part of the team carrying out cable diagnostic tests on the Guangzhou power network. During the trip, we shared our experience in condition monitoring with our counterparts and I also learnt about their work processes and network equipment. This was indeed an eyeopening experience.” Mr Chan studied at Raffles Institution and Victoria Junior College, after which he earned a degree in electrical engineering at the National University of Singapore. He joined SP Power- Grid soon after graduation and was posted to the Regional Network South as an executive engineer. His work philosophy is delivering quality work without looking at the clock. He says: “I think one key quality is the willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that the work carried out is up to mark. Any slip-up will not only affect the company’s performance, but could also potentially affect a very large customer base or in the worst case, cause a safety hazard to the public.” We also have to respond expeditiously to any power outages or incidents that occur at any time and restore electrical supply to affected customers. I have been here seven years, there is never a typical day at work. I’m always learning and growing in my job. — Mr Chan Hong Jiang, principal engineer, Singapore Power He is appreciative that his wife, Candy Ho, 29, a financial planner, supports his “unpredictable and challenging work hours”. “Occasionally I have to work at night and during weekends to handle emergency repairs or electricity supply shutdowns which take place only when the customer premises are empty,” he says. “My wife is very understanding and offers a lot of encouragement and support. This spurs me on to complete my work quickly and safely so that I can go back to my family as soon as possible.” His role model is his 62-year-old father, Mr Chan Teck Chua, whose work attitude, despite minimal education, was exemplary as an auxiliary salesman. “My father, a quiet and humble man, has been a good role model for me,” he says. “Although he did not receive much education and did not have a well-paying job, he worked very hard and lived frugally to provide for the family, something which he did very well and with much pride. I am trying to do the same for my wife and, in the future, for my kids.” Mr Chan’s work philosophy is delivering quality work without looking at the clock. PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG

Leveraging Digital Solutions to Future-Proof Singapore’s Energy Gridhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/news-and-media-releases/Leveraging-Digital-Solutions-to-Future-Proof-Singapore-s-Energy-Grid
Media Release Leveraging Digital Solutions to Future-Proof Singapore’s Energy Grid As part of Singapore’s energy transition, the Energy Market Authority (EMA), together with industry partners, have embarked on digital projects to future-proof the nation's energy grid infrastructure. There has been good progress in the development of Singapore’s first Grid Digital Twin and Distributed Energy Resource Management System, and they will continue to be developed over the next few years. These projects will serve to enhance the resilience and reliability of Singapore’s electricity grid and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources. Grid Digital Twin 2. Singapore embarked on the Grid Digital Twin in 2021 with the aim of enhancing Singapore’s grid resilience, reliability, and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources. The Grid Digital Twin, comprising two key models - Digital Asset Twin and Digital Network Twin - is a virtual replica of the physical grid network and infrastructural assets. Created in collaboration with Government agencies, industry players and academia, research and development for Singapore’s first Grid Digital Twin for the national power grid has demonstrated good progress. Digital Asset Twin 3. The Digital Asset Twin is a virtual replica of SP Group’s electricity network assets. Developed by the SP Group, in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the Digital Asset Twin aims to enable network operators to monitor and analyse the condition and performance of grid assets, in order to mitigate potential issues. When fully developed, it is envisaged that the Digital Asset Twin will also enable informed decisions for prioritised and timely renewal and maintenance of grid assets. 4. Through in-house digital development capabilities, SP Group has built the core of the asset dashboard as well as key Artificial Intelligence (AI) engines and algorithms to integrate with sensors in real time. The SP-NTU Joint Lab will provide components of an Asset Health system and cost-effective condition monitoring sensors. SP Group targets to deploy a pilot by 2025. As costs of sensors, digital and communication solutions reduce, they can potentially be applied to the large number of distribution assets, such as the 18,000 transformers across SP’s 12,000 substations. Digital Network Twin 5. EMA has also collaborated with partners such as S&TPPO, A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), and TUMCREATE to develop the Digital Network Twin within the Singapore Integrated Transport and Energy Model (SITEM). With the development of the Digital Network Twin, it enables SITEM to make use of advanced modelling and simulation software to model the impact of additional Electric Vehicle (EV) demand on the grid and identify necessary infrastructure upgrades under different scenarios. This has provided insights to EMA and SP Power Grid (SPPG) on how substation capacity could be optimised to support EV charging. The Digital Network Twin is currently undergoing the next stage of translational research and development in order to deploy the developed solutions into an end-user software solution usable by EMA by 2025. The software solution will help to assess the impact of significant demand changes expected in the distribution grid as energy sector decarbonises. 6. A*STAR has also incorporated high-resolution electricity demand results obtained from the Digital Network Twin into a national-level energy systems model that aims to optimise Singapore’s long-term decarbonisation pathways. The effort has yielded positive initial outcomes through the identification of potential ways to reduce investment costs in the power sector over the next 30 years, as the nation seeks to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. EMA will also work with A*STAR and other partner agencies, through the Centre for Energy and Emissions Modelling (CE2M), to further improve long term power sector decarbonisation planning. 7. Through these initiatives, Singapore will have smarter and more efficient ways of monitoring and predicting the health of the nation’s grid assets and network. In addition, the Grid Digital Twin allows for a risk-free environment to study and test different scenarios. This will help future-proof Singapore’s power grid by ensuring that it is well-equipped to manage increasing electricity demand and changes in energy supply, while maintaining reliability in grid operations. Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) 8. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like solar generation systems, battery Energy Storage Systems (ESS), and Electric Vehicles (EVs) are likely to proliferate in the coming decades. This is because solar power generation and battery ESS are expected to become cheaper and more efficient, given ongoing research and development efforts as well as economies of scale. As such, it is increasingly vital to ensure that Singapore’s grid infrastructure is able to support the integration and deployment of cleaner energy sources.   9. To better optimise the management of small-scale DERs such as solar and EVs across the network, SPPG has embarked on pilot development for a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS). DERMS is a monitoring and control platform which aims to support SPPG’s network operators with real-time information and control capabilities to optimise DER connections. 10. SP Group has carried out a proof-of-concept in 2021, to explore use cases where monitoring and control of DERs could support network operations. From this first phase, monitoring and control solutions were trialled on test setup to gain first-hand experience and identify potential applications for Singapore’s context. 11. The next phase of the DERMS pilot is focused on solar forecasting and capabilities to prepare for increasing EV adoption, and will be test-bedded at selected SP substations. When fully developed, DERMS will be able to support network operators in the sustainable integration of solar and EV-related DERs into the network, while effectively managing reliability and system costs.

A digital twin is a virtual model of physical infrastructure, processes and systems that can carry out various functions such as intelligent data analysis, computer modelling and simulation and machine learning to support users in improving planning and decision-making processes. 2. The digital twin of Singapore’s national grid will comprise two key models: a. Asset Twin to optimise the planning, operations and maintenance of SP’s grid assets (such as substations, transformers, switchgears and cables). The Asset Twin is able to remotely monitor and analyse the condition and performance of assets and identify potential risks in grid operations early. This allows SP Group (SP) to make informed decisions on renewal and maintenance plans accordingly. Through in-house digital development capabilities, SP Group has built the core of the asset dashboard and the initial key AI engines and algorithms to integrate with sensors in real time. The SP NTU Joint Lab will provide components of an Asset Health system and break-through cost effective condition monitoring sensors. SP Group targets to deploy a pilot by 2025. As costs of sensors, digital and communication solutions reduce, these digital solutions can potentially be applied to the large number of distribution assets, such as the 18,000 transformers across 12,000 substations.  The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) to SP and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory[1]. b. Network Twin for impact assessment on grid. This uses modelling and simulations to determine the impact of additional loads (such as charging of electric vehicles) and distributed energy resources (such as solar photovoltaics and energy storage systems) on the grid. Using an advanced software framework known as the Multi Energy System Modelling & Optimisation (MESMO)[2], the Network Twin is able to provide EMA and SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. EMA and agencies such as A*STAR’s IHPC, S&TPPO, and TUMCREATE, have developed the Singapore Integrated Transport and Energy Model (SITEM) to model the impact of additional Electric Vehicle (EV) demand on the grid and identify necessary infrastructure upgrades under different scenarios. SITEM has provided insights on how substation capacity can be optimised to support EV charging. The first prototype Network Twin was developed as part of the SITEM project by the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with its technology partner TUMCREATE Ltd. The project was funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).  IHPC is currently undertaking the next stage of translational R&D that aims to deploy the Network Twin into an end-user software solution usable by EMA engineers by 2025.  EMA will work together with A*STAR and other partner agencies in the Centre for Energy and Emissions Modelling (CE2M), which seeks to support long-term national decarbonisation planning. The initiative aims to develop a federated systems architecture that integrates the national energy system model, with sectoral models such as power and transport.  The modelling effort would better inform Singapore’s net-zero strategy, including our future power grid. 3. Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: a. Enhanced condition monitoring of assets and prioritisation of asset renewal, by having a decision tool that can identify risks and prioritise grid assets renewal plans. The tool will take into account health, utilisation and failure history of the grid assets.  b. Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads. c. Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.
