Her team collates and analyses recorded measurements and checks for anomalies in switchgears and transformers. Maizan Binte Abdullah performing condition monitoring checks. (Photo was taken before circuit breaker) When Maizan joined SP 38 years ago, she was doing something quite different. Learning and Adapting After completing her post-secondary education, Maizan started as an apprentice in the Electro Mechanical Maintenance Fitting department at the Public Utilities Board (PUB). Subsequently, she was posted to the Meters section to conduct meter maintenance activities. Maizan (in blue attire) and her former colleagues from Meters section enjoying a durian feast together. When PUB corporatised in 1995, she moved to SP where she continued with the Meters section for the next 14 years. She would have thought that would be her home for the rest of her career. However in 2019, she was seconded to CM. This change to field work seemed to be unsurmountable, having been in a deskbound administrative role for more than 20 years. “Given my age, I was very worried that I may not be able to cope with the demands of the new role. However, I recognised that I needed to move out of my comfort zone and acquire new skills to remain relevant,” shared Maizan. After going through training and with strong support from her team and the management, Maizan is settling so well at CM that she became the team lead for North Zone in the same year. A lifelong learner, Maizan completed her part-time Diploma in Engineering (Power Engineering) programme at Singapore Polytechnic in May 2020 under SP’s sponsorship. She soldiered on despite having to juggle her new role and studies. “There were times when I felt overwhelmed and felt like giving up. I am glad I had the support from my family, my boss and colleagues who encouraged me to persevere. This experience has been very enriching, and I look forward to continue growing!” exclaimed Maizan. Growing despite COVID-19 With this mindset, Maizan and her team continued to learn new ways of working to carry out their duties during the Circuit Breaker period. Maizan and her colleagues use handheld detectors to detect for abnormalities in the network. This is to prevent faults from developing and causing power disruptions. “Due to the need to minimise contact, we had to stagger our working hours. This is a challenge as CM relies heavily on teamwork. We also had to wear a mask when doing checks in the substation, which is an enclosed space and often hot and humid,” shared Maizan. However, Maizan takes it in her stride. She performs daily check-ins with her team members via instant messaging and tele-conferencing. With a sparkle in her eyes, she said, “Work is never the same every day. I take this as an opportunity to grow – to be stronger and better in managing change and future crises.” — 27 July 2020 TAGS LIFELONG LEARNERPEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITYCONDITION MONITORING YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Lighting the way: Following in his father’s footsteps to keep S’pore’s power grid running 24/7 How this technical officer and robot SPock hunt hazards to protect Singapore’s power tunnels Category: Reliability Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Searchhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/search?tag=condition-monitoring Search Reliabilityhttps://www.spgroup.com.sg/about-us/media-resources/energy-hub/reliability/38-years-with-SP-Growing-through-Change SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation 38 Years with SP: Growing through Change RELIABILITY Maizan Binte Abdullah, Senior Technician from Condition Monitoring (CM), manages a team of 10 to perform health checks across substations in the north of Singapore.

When PUB corporatised in 1995, she moved to SP where she continued with the Meters section for the next 14 years. She would have thought that would be her home for the rest of her career. However in 2019, she was seconded to CM. This change to field work seemed to be unsurmountable, having been in a deskbound administrative role for more than 20 years. “Given my age, I was very worried that I may not be able to cope with the demands of the new role. However, I recognised that I needed to move out of my comfort zone and acquire new skills to remain relevant,” shared Maizan. After going through training and with strong support from her team and the management, Maizan is settling so well at CM that she became the team lead for North Zone in the same year. A lifelong learner, Maizan completed her part-time Diploma in Engineering (Power Engineering) programme at Singapore Polytechnic in May 2020 under SP’s sponsorship. She soldiered on despite having to juggle her new role and studies. “There were times when I felt overwhelmed and felt like giving up. I am glad I had the support from my family, my boss and colleagues who encouraged me to persevere. This experience has been very enriching, and I look forward to continue growing!” exclaimed Maizan. Growing despite COVID-19 With this mindset, Maizan and her team continued to learn new ways of working to carry out their duties during the Circuit Breaker period. Maizan and her colleagues use handheld detectors to detect for abnormalities in the network. This is to prevent faults from developing and causing power disruptions. “Due to the need to minimise contact, we had to stagger our working hours. This is a challenge as CM relies heavily on teamwork. We also had to wear a mask when doing checks in the substation, which is an enclosed space and often hot and humid,” shared Maizan. However, Maizan takes it in her stride. She performs daily check-ins with her team members via instant messaging and tele-conferencing.

(Photo was taken before circuit breaker) When Maizan joined SP 38 years ago, she was doing something quite different. Learning and Adapting After completing her post-secondary education, Maizan started as an apprentice in the Electro Mechanical Maintenance Fitting department at the Public Utilities Board (PUB). Subsequently, she was posted to the Meters section to conduct meter maintenance activities. Maizan (in blue attire) and her former colleagues from Meters section enjoying a durian feast together. When PUB corporatised in 1995, she moved to SP where she continued with the Meters section for the next 14 years. She would have thought that would be her home for the rest of her career. However in 2019, she was seconded to CM. This change to field work seemed to be unsurmountable, having been in a deskbound administrative role for more than 20 years. “Given my age, I was very worried that I may not be able to cope with the demands of the new role. However, I recognised that I needed to move out of my comfort zone and acquire new skills to remain relevant,” shared Maizan. After going through training and with strong support from her team and the management, Maizan is settling so well at CM that she became the team lead for North Zone in the same year. A lifelong learner, Maizan completed her part-time Diploma in Engineering (Power Engineering) programme at Singapore Polytechnic in May 2020 under SP’s sponsorship. She soldiered on despite having to juggle her new role and studies. “There were times when I felt overwhelmed and felt like giving up. I am glad I had the support from my family, my boss and colleagues who encouraged me to persevere. This experience has been very enriching, and I look forward to continue growing!” exclaimed Maizan. Growing despite COVID-19 With this mindset, Maizan and her team continued to learn new ways of working to carry out their duties during the Circuit Breaker period. Maizan and her colleagues use handheld detectors to detect for abnormalities in the network. This is to prevent faults from developing and causing power disruptions. “Due to the need to minimise contact, we had to stagger our working hours. This is a challenge as CM relies heavily on teamwork. We also had to wear a mask when doing checks in the substation, which is an enclosed space and often hot and humid,” shared Maizan. However, Maizan takes it in her stride. She performs daily check-ins with her team members via instant messaging and tele-conferencing.

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation The Doctor Is In: Grid Health Checks Prevent Issues RELIABILITY Reading the “pulse” of network equipment, Senior Engineer Dr Lai Kai Xian can tell whether insulation material within the equipment may be breaking down. Like any good physician, Dr Lai Kai Xian is skilled in being able to look, listen and feel. The key difference is that his patient is Singapore’s electricity network, and he diagnoses the grid’s health conditions and fixes these even before they become problems. The 35-year-old electrical engineer is one of eight specialists in the SP Group’s Condition Monitoring team who keeps a close eye on the 11,000 substations and over 28,000km of cables that make up the grid. They are supported by 44 technical officers and technicians who conduct regular health screenings of all equipment on the network, and recommend deeper investigations or treatment when necessary.  Condition Monitoring Senior Engineer Dr Lai Kai Xian uses devices that require various senses – hearing, sight and touch – to assess equipment health, much like a medical doctor. Technicians take the network’s temperature using thermal guns, and listen for abnormal sounds using sensors coupled with headsets that make high frequency sounds audible. Special probes listen for the “pulse” of the equipment, and normal sounds need to be distinguished from ones that could indicate a potential problem. Sounds called transient earth voltage signals could point to internal voids in liquid, air or solid insulation material that are wrapped around cables. These kinds of “partial discharge” summon more varied equipment to pinpoint the source of an abnormality, and allow for early intervention. “These markers tell you where more investigation is needed or where problems could potentially lie so they can be solved before they get any bigger,” explains Dr Lai. He had focused his PhD studies on condition monitoring, and thanks his parents for the opportunity to have done so in Australia. SeniorEngineer Dr Lai Kai Xian (left) with his parents (right) at the 2010 University of New South Wales graduation ceremony. He was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering. Like any emergency room, the most critical cases are attended to first, and more tests can be ordered to make a more accurate diagnosis. It can sometimes make for an intense work day, he concedes. But until his first child arrives in October, the grid is his baby – indeed his personal hobbies include reading technical articles about power systems and new technologies. Condition monitoring affords the grid an additional layer of insurance over scheduled maintenance, making it even more reliable, says Dr Lai. According to Dr Lai, an average of 70 potential problems have been avoided each year over the last five years. And unlike scheduled maintenance work which may require a piece of equipment to be taken out of service to be checked, repaired, or replaced, this pre-emptive approach is non-invasive, requiring no shutdowns. In the long run, keeping the health of a piece of equipment in check also means it lasts longer, he says. More companies are now catching on to these benefits, says Dr Lai, adding that he had trouble finding a job specifically in condition monitoring until he joined SP, a big believer in “preventive medicine”. Online monitoring is also continuously leveraged by SP for the larger 400kV and 230kV substations that make up Singapore’s transmission network, with sensors transmitting real-time data to Dr Lai’s lab. New technologies that can make the grid more robust are also regularly assessed, adds Dr Lai, also a “doctor-on-call” for casual queries from other departments, thanks to friendships forged with colleagues through weekly badminton sessions. Getting to the root of the problem is one of the things he relishes most about his role in SP’s network reliability, especially since diagnosis can be as much of an art as a science, and prompts spirited debates. “You need to be able to look beyond the obvious with data. Every single case is different, requiring both tools and thinking. That is the challenge that I love.” — 13 June 2019 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Lighting the way: Following in his father’s footsteps to keep S’pore’s power grid running 24/7 How this technical officer and robot SPock hunt hazards to protect Singapore’s power tunnels

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.

MANAGING RELIABLE NETWORKS Our teams work round the clock to run robust operations of the grid, delivering reliable power and gas supply to more than 1.6 million commercial, industrial and residential customers in Singapore. - 2 - SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 2022 Efforts spanning asset planning, renewal and maintenance have contributed to a record network reliability performance. On average last year, a customer experienced a record low 6.6 seconds of electricity interruption and 11.9 seconds of gas interruption. In the past year, we completed 18 renewal projects, and replaced 140km of cables, 263 transformers and 1,044 switchgear panels in our electricity distribution infrastructure. We invest in infrastructure and technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. This enables us to conduct comprehensive real-time monitoring, trend analysis and diagnostics so as to predict and manage future network problems before they occur. Forty critical distribution substations have been installed with online condition monitoring equipment, with another 99 more in the pipeline. In anticipation of growth in electricity demand, electrification and renewable and distributed energy deployment, there is a need for a - 3 - SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 2022 high-fidelity digital replica of Singapore’s future electricity grid. SP is developing a Grid Digital Twin, an innovative in-house creation to better plan, operate and maintain the national power grid through modelling, simulations, condition monitoring and asset health analysis. We draw on up-to-date information from over 12,000 substations across our entire electricity network. As part of our gas asset renewal and maintenance programme, we concluded an open tank inspection for a gas holder and successfully completed the renewal of two town gas offtake stations. Another seven stations are scheduled for completion in the next three years. Our Technical Officer performing condition monitoring of our electricity asset We carried out projects to lay more than 70km of durable polyethylene pipes to replace ageing ductile iron pipelines, thereby reducing the risk of gas leakage. Another key milestone was the completion of the in-line inspection operations for a subsea gas pipeline connecting Indonesia to Singapore to ensure integrity of the pipeline. We have adopted new technologies such as the implementation of a new gas enterprise asset management system. These initiatives will optimise operational effectiveness and enable us to better assess the condition of our assets in order to facilitate timely replacement and minimise unplanned interruption. SP is driving the national rollout of smart meters to help customers optimise their energy efficiency. We have installed 648,000 advanced electricity meters for businesses and households.

ACHIEVING STRONG FINANCIAL OUTLOOK As with all industries and markets around the world, we have grappled with a challenging and rapidly changing external environment. Despite this, SP has delivered another year of solid financial performance, staying the course in achieving our Strategy 2030 launched two years ago. For the year ended 31 March 2022, the Group recorded a Net Profit After Tax of S$2 billion after a one-time gain of S$1.1 billion (net of tax) due to the divestment of our stake in our investment in AusNet Services, to Brookfields Group. Including a special dividend of S$2 billion arising from the divestment, we will be declaring a record dividend of S$2.47 billion in the next financial year. Moody’s has raised the long-term credit ratings of Singapore Power, SP PowerAssets and SP Group Treasury from Aa2 to Aa1. Together with the upgrade by S&P in July 2021, SP Group is now rated Aa1 by Moody’s and AA+ by S&P. This signals the strong financial position of the SP Group. The updated ratings also represent the highest credit ratings that SP Group has achieved since 2003. - 5 - SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 2022 TOWARDS A LOW CARBON, SMART ENERGY FUTURE We develop and invest in solutions to enable the integration of more renewable energy sources in Singapore’s energy mix. We are accelerating the development of greener buildings and cities to achieve Singapore’s ambitious sustainability targets. outcomes captured under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 9 which are to ensure access to affordable, clean and sustainable energy for all, build reliable infrastructure, promote inclusion and industrialisation, and foster innovation. In our Sustainability Review, we outline progress in our Strategy 2030, with initiatives and SP is the largest district cooling solutions provider in Singapore. In the past year, we welcomed five - 6 - SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 2022 new upcoming developments to our flagship Marina Bay network, expanding our district cooling services to a total of 28 buildings that will benefit from our energy-efficient cooling services by 2026. This will help reduce almost 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off our roads. SP continues to make progress with the expansion of our district cooling solutions to residential areas including Tampines and the upcoming Tengah housing estate by 2023. We are building Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system that will serve ST Microelectronics (ST) at its Ang Mo Kio Technopark premises. Built in partnership with Daikin, it will have a cooling capacity of up to 36,000 refrigerant tonnes (RT), reaping 20 per cent savings in cooling-related electricity consumption for ST annually. When operational in 2025, the system will enable ST to reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes a year at the premises, equivalent to taking 109,090 cars off the road. Tampines will be Singapore’s first town centre to be retrofitted with SP’s cooling solution. Seven buildings will be plugged into SP’s distributed district cooling network, which is specially engineered for brownfield developments. The network will be completed and operational in 2025. In collaboration with the Housing and Development Board, we are progressing well in developing Singapore’s first residential centralised - 7 - SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 2022 cooling system for up to 22,000 households at the upcoming Tengah housing estate by 2023. As at 31 May 2022, there are 7,616 households – 90 per cent of units allocated – that have opted for SP’s centralised cooling solution. When these projects are completed, SP will be operating a total of 158,200 RT of cooling capacity, reinforcing SP’s position as the largest provider of district cooling solutions in Singapore. SP is the operator of Singapore's largest public high-speed EV charging network. SP is making strides in decarbonising Singapore’s transportation system. To accelerate our nation’s transition to electric mobility, we are building an extensive and highly accessible electric vehicle (EV) charging network across Singapore. With 525 EV charging points at over 100 locations as at 31 May 2022, SP is the operator of Singapore's largest public high-speed EV charging network. A first in Southeast Asia, SP rolled out a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology trial in 2021 to test and verify the possibility of tapping energy stored in EVs. This is to enhance grid reliability in order to support more than 600,000 vehicles when Singapore phases out internal combustion engine vehicles by 2040. - 8 - SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 2022 A first in Southeast Asia, SP rolled out the vehicle-to-grid technology trial to enhance grid reliability as Singapore phases out internal combustion engine vehicles. We are partnering Sembcorp Industries and Sarawak Energy to undertake a feasibility study for the development of cross-border transmission infrastructure for power exchange between Sarawak and Singapore. SP is deploying expertise in renewable energy solutions across several industrial and commercial properties. Last year, we deepened our partnership with Sembcorp Marine to deploy 4 MWp of solar energy across seven rooftops at the Tuas Boulevard Yard. With the additional rooftop solar installation, the yard’s solar power capacity of 8.5 MWp will deliver up to 10,400 MWh of electricity annually – enough to power more than 2,300 four-room flats per year. The solar energy generated will be integrated and optimised via SP’s Green Energy Tech (GETTM) to provide intelligent and reliable energy management to realise significant energy savings. With solutions like GET TenantCare, a smart and automated tenant sub-metering solution powered by SP Digital’s advanced metering infrastructure, we are empowering commercial customers, building owners and landlords to manage tenant utilities consumption efficiently. To date, 31 buildings, including Tampines Town Council, Defence Science and Technology Agency and Mercatus Co-operative Limited (Mercatus), are onboard the GET programme. Mercatus will deploy SP’s GET solutions and more than 700 smart electricity meters at three of its properties, namely AMK Hub, One Marina Boulevard and Jurong Point. Our suite of digital - 9 - SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 2022 solutions will help building owners enhance their operational efficiency, allowing them to deliver greater value to their tenants while advancing their own sustainability agenda. The SP app is a key enabler for our sustainable energy solutions to be accessible and convenient for consumers. As at 31 May 2022, the app has been downloaded 1.58 million times. Users benefit from tools, developed by SP Digital, that shape green lifestyle practices. Ground-up initiatives like GreenUp encourage users to take up sustainable and practical challenges and earn rewards. LEADING IN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS IN ASIA PACIFIC SP will deploy district cooling and heating, smart metering, energy management and monitoring solutions to transform the city of Wuhou to a smart eco-district.

With growing concerns about mental well-being, we have introduced a holistic series of initiatives under SP’s Workplace Health Programme for our 3,600 strong workforce. An Employee Assistance Programme was set up to offer a counselling channel to help staff deal with personal and work-related issues. Close to 100 of our staff have been trained as Care Ambassadors to render peer support and provide relevant assistance to colleagues who wish to seek professional help. SUPPORTING VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES SP has donated S$1.35 million to the Institute of Technical Education to set up the SP Group Engineering Study Award. We have remained steadfast in giving back to the community, through staff volunteerism, philanthropy and skills-based contributions. Last year, SP’s corporate social responsibility contributions totalled S$4.5 million in donations, sponsorships and volunteer manpower. In our annual SP Power Packs Charity Drive, we have committed a record high S$1.1 million to benefit 10,000 families, many of whom are seniors from low-income household. This five-fold increase from previous years enables us to provide more vulnerable families with essentials and care kits to guard against the pandemic. - 12 - SP GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2022 CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 2022 SP has extended support to youth by donating S$1.35 million to the Institute of Technical Education to set up the SP Group Engineering Study Award. The funds will provide monthly financial support to 450 engineering school students from low-income families over the next three years. Since the launch of SP Kids at Heart in July 2021, SP Heart Workers – our staff volunteers – have put in time and effort to pack and deliver learning resources to pre-schoolers from low-income families, as part of our ongoing support to KidSTART. With the support of our business associates and the public, we raised S$1.8 million for the SP Heartware Fund towards programmes for seniors and pre-schoolers last year, making it a total of S$18 million since 2005. United in Singapore’s pandemic defence, our team of call agents doubled up as Home Recovery Buddies at MOH’s Case Management Contact Centre, to support those who have tested positive for COVID-19. Our call centre has also served as the public hotline for Temasek Foundation’s Stay Prepared initiatives and handled more than 180,000 phone calls during the provision of free face masks, hand sanitiser, oximeters and mouth gargle to all households in Singapore. IN APPRECIATION I would like to record my appreciation to Mr Ng Kwan Meng, who retired from the Board on 29 July 2022, for his invaluable contributions. I welcome Prof Yaacob bin Ibrahim who joined the Board in September 2021. I am also grateful to all Board members for your guidance and counsel. On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my appreciation to the management and staff for your unwavering efforts, pivoting to seize new opportunities for growth and transformation. I thank our shareholder, business partners, union and regulator for their close collaboration and continuous support.

4 TUESDAY, OCTOBER20,2020 news 1,000 Tengah households opt for centralised cooling system The energy-efficient system will be powered by solar panels on HDB block rooftops MICHELLE NG Visitors checking out the air-conditioning and centralised cooling system at the MyTengah Experience Centre in Toa Payoh. TNP PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG Nearly 1,000 households have signed up for the centralised cooling system (CCS) in the upcoming “forest town” of Tengah, where some 8,000 Build- To-Order (BTO) flats have been launched so far. Home owners who opt for the energy-efficient system will save around 15 per cent to 20 per cent in upfront costs compared with current market rates, and up to 30 per cent in life cycle costs, energy utilities provider SP Group, which runs the system in Tengah, said yesterday. The CCS is one of many smart features that will be implemented in Tengah, which is billed as a “smart energy” town powered by artificial intelligence. Under the CCS, chilled water will be piped to homes from centralised chillers installed on the rooftops of selected Housing Board (HDB) blocks. This is more energy-efficient than conventional air-conditioning systems, said SP Group. The system will be powered by solar energy generated by vertical and horizontal solar panels on the rooftops of HDB blocks. Residents will be able to monitor and control their home energy usage via the MyTengah app, which will be run by SP Group. They will be able to locate electric vehicle charging points via the app, and earn points to be exchanged for rewards by taking part in sustainable activities. A digital dashboard will be installed at the lift lobby of each block, which tracks its utilities consumption and impact on the environment. These eco-boards will also provide residents with tips on how to reduce electrical and water consumption, on top of promoting “sustainable behaviour through utilities-savings competitions between blocks”, said SP Group. Future residents and the public can now visit the new MyTengah Experience Centre at the HDB Hub at Toa Payoh Central. There, they can learn more about the CCS and other ecofriendly solutions that will be implemented in Tengah. Advance booking is recommended, though walk-ins are allowed, subject to capacity. The 97 sq m experience centre can take around 16 visitors at any one time. Mr S. Harsha, managing director of sustainable energy solutions in Singapore for SP Group, said Tengah will be the first town to have a large-scale centralised cooling system, in line with national sustainability efforts. There are plans to provide predictive air-conditioning maintenance services for home owners using the data collected, he said. “This is part of the end-toend service SP Group hopes to provide, on top of the regular maintenance of the centralised chillers,” said Mr Harsha. 98 PER CENT OPT IN Around 98 per cent of the households introduced to the CCS by SP Group staff opted in, although Mr Harsha noted that they were not able to contact all 8,000 households because of the Covid-19 restrictions. Payment will be made only on the day owners collect the keys to their new homes, with airconditioning units by Daikin pre-installed, said SP Group. The group declined to reveal the exact cost of the CCS. ngmich@sph.com.sg

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

THE STRAITS TIMES BRANDED CONTENT Making air-conditioning greener: How he's helping Singaporeans reduce their carbon footprint The centralised cooling system that he and his team at SP Group are building for Tengah new town will be 30 per cent more energy efficient, which contributes to the nation's climate goals Mr Liu Yue inside one of the thermal storage tanks in the world's largest underground district cooling network operated by SP Group PHOTO: SP GROUP PUBLISHED NOV 30, 2022, 4:00 AM SGT Mr Liu Yue has a new engineering challenge. The 38-year-old Principal Engineer is part of the team designing and building the first centralised cooling system (CCS) for a residential estate in Singapore – in the Tengah eco-town. Instead of individual compressor units mounted on aircon ledges, Mr Liu is tasked to build a centralised system which circulates chilled water to and from each flat to cool air within the flat, thus delivering air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in the estate. The first homes will be ready in 2023. “It is definitely a challenge because we have to work with many other parties to overcome the space constraints,” says Mr Liu. In his previous posting in SP Group, Mr Liu worked at an underground district cooling system that serves the Marina Bay central business district. But this time, Mr Liu has to deal with space constraints of a different kind. “In HDB flats, it’s not cost-efficient to have large underground spaces, so we have to think out of the box and find space for our cooling equipment,” Mr Liu shares. Eventually, the project team decided to place the CCS equipment on the HDB block roof, which would allow precious ground space to be used by the community. HDB flat rooftops would host the CCS equipment which service a cluster of HDB blocks. This arrangement would optimise the cooling output of the CCS equipment, achieving both energy efficiency and supply reliability. Mr Liu is proud that he plays a part in transforming the energy sector to meet climate goals.

We are helping to improve lives by the meaningful transformation of the power industry. This brings me a lot of satisfaction as an engineer,” he says. Reaping benefits from economies of scale In a CCS, a few interconnected centralised plants produce chilled water which is piped to individual households. “Colder” chilled water produced at the centralised plants is circulated to the indoor air-conditioner (known as chilled water fan coil unit or FCU) in each flat. The FCU recirculates the air within the flat and cools the air. In the process, the chilled water is “warmed” up. The warmer water is then returned to the centralised plants to be chilled again and repeat the process. Because the centralised chilled water plants are 30 per cent more energy efficient by design than individual split units found typically in households, CCS is more economical for air-conditioning of flats. Mr Liu Yue is the deputy lead for the construction of the centralised cooling system that will deliver air-conditioning service to 19,000 households in Tengah eco-town. PHOTO: SP GROUP Air-conditioned comfort with lower emissions Air-conditioning is ubiquitous in tropical Singapore. According to the Department of Statistics, about 80 per cent of Singapore households own air-conditioners, and from NEA household electricity consumption profile, air-conditioning contributes about 24 per cent of the average household electricity consumption. With rising incomes and warming temperatures, air-conditioning ownership and the use of air conditioners are set to rise. Worldwide, the use of air-conditioners results in the emission of nearly two million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year, or about 4 per cent of the global share. There is therefore an increasing need to reduce carbon footprint from more energy efficient air-conditioning systems. The reduction in electricity consumption from CCS will contribute towards Singapore’s ambitious carbon footprint reduction commitments. Singapore aims to accelerate its timeline to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, peaking emissions in 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. While Singapore’s carbon emissions represent a small percentage of the global share (0.13 per cent in 2020), Singapore’s per capita emissions are very high, about twice the global average at 12 tonnes annually. If Singaporeans can reduce their carbon emissions significantly, it would demonstrate how people can meaningfully counteract climate change without severely lowering their standard of living. Mr Liu is energised by his contribution to help Singapore meet its climate goals. “The CCS we are building will enable Tengah residents to lower their carbon footprint through an energy-efficient cooling system. Just by living in the estate, each resident has already started the sustainability journey. This is a huge motivating factor to every engineer working on the Tengah project. “We started from ground zero and had our fair share of roadblocks in the journey. With all the hard work we put in, it is very rewarding to see everything come to fruition. I am glad to be able to play a part in pioneering the most futuristic town in Singapore towards smart and sustainable living. I guess it's my way of leaving my mark – a green one,” adds Mr Liu. Energy-efficient cooling for a warming world Leading the effort for more efficient cooling systems, SP Group will be implementing various types of cooling systems in different capacities, both in commercial and residential buildings. Its flagship district cooling system in the Marina Bay CBD network will be expanding to cool 28 commercial buildings by 2026. The savings in electricity consumption is estimated to reduce about 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing 17,672 cars off the road. SP Group is establishing Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system for STMicroelectronics at the Ang Mo Kio Technopark. By the time it is operational in 2025, it will reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes annually. SP Group is also constructing a distributed district cooling network in Tampines, where seven existing buildings will be retrofitted by 2025. Transitioning the world into a decarbonised future Beyond its role as the national grid operator, SP Group actively pursues sustainability initiatives as a key part of Singapore’s climate strategy. Its climate initiatives include a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network, deploying rooftop solar energy generation, and smart electricity metering to monitor and reduce usage. SP Group has also exported these technologies to overseas markets where there is demand for sustainable energy solutions. SP Group has provided expertise to build district cooling and heating systems, smart metering and solar power generation in cities in China, Thailand and Vietnam.

Supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), SP Group (SP) and the Science and Technology Policy and Plans Office (S&TPPO) under the Prime Minister’s Office, the upcoming Grid Digital Twin will serve to enhance Singapore’s grid resilience to ensure grid reliability and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources.   The Grid Digital Twin is a virtual representation of the physical power grid assets and network and operates using real-time and historical data. It comprises two key models: Asset Twin1 for the health management of grid assets (such as substations, transformers, cables); and Network Twin2 for the assessment of impact on the grid when connecting new energy sources or consumers to the grid. The Grid Digital Twin is currently in a prototype stage and is expected to be fully developed over the next few years. When fully deployed, it will enable SP to better plan, operate and maintain the national power grid through modelling and simulations so that the actual works can be carried out in a more effective and efficient way. (Refer to Annex for more information.) Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin include improving network planning analysis and remote monitoring of asset conditions, thereby saving manpower resources in carrying out extensive physical inspections. As the Grid Digital Twin provides a more holistic model of the grid, it can facilitate planning of infrastructure for different needs (such as installation of electric vehicle chargers, and connection of solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems). Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid. We can then effectively test potential upgrades and enhancements, and future-ready innovations such as the projects under the SP Group - NTU Joint Lab to support our ambition to empower the future of energy.”   When completed, the Grid Digital Twin will be a key initiative in contributing towards Singapore’s overall efforts for greater sustainability through enhanced grid network planning and operations.   Annex: Factsheet on the Singapore Power Grid Digital Twin -- End -- About Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

The digital twin of Singapore’s power grid will comprise two key models: 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. 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 Laboratory3   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)4, the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed 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 is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).   Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: 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.   Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads.   Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.   Grid Digital Twin comprising the Asset Twin and Network Twin (Image Credit: Energy Market Authority) KEY VISUAL FOR ASSET TWIN Overview of Asset Health and Criticality Index for the Distribution Network (Image Credit: SP Group-NTU Joint Laboratory) KEY VISUAL FOR NETWORK TWIN Dashboard for analysing electric vehicle charging impact on the distribution grid using the Network Twin (Image Credit: Institute of High Performance Computing and TUMCREATE) 1 The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by EMA to SP Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory. 2 The Network Twin is being developed 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.

Supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), SP Group (SP) and the Science and Technology Policy and Plans Office (S&TPPO) under the Prime Minister’s Office, the upcoming Grid Digital Twin will serve to enhance Singapore’s grid resilience to ensure grid reliability and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources.   The Grid Digital Twin is a virtual representation of the physical power grid assets and network and operates using real-time and historical data. It comprises two key models: Asset Twin1 for the health management of grid assets (such as substations, transformers, cables); and Network Twin2 for the assessment of impact on the grid when connecting new energy sources or consumers to the grid. The Grid Digital Twin is currently in a prototype stage and is expected to be fully developed over the next few years. When fully deployed, it will enable SP to better plan, operate and maintain the national power grid through modelling and simulations so that the actual works can be carried out in a more effective and efficient way. (Refer to Annex for more information.) Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin include improving network planning analysis and remote monitoring of asset conditions, thereby saving manpower resources in carrying out extensive physical inspections. As the Grid Digital Twin provides a more holistic model of the grid, it can facilitate planning of infrastructure for different needs (such as installation of electric vehicle chargers, and connection of solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems). Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid. We can then effectively test potential upgrades and enhancements, and future-ready innovations such as the projects under the SP Group - NTU Joint Lab to support our ambition to empower the future of energy.”   When completed, the Grid Digital Twin will be a key initiative in contributing towards Singapore’s overall efforts for greater sustainability through enhanced grid network planning and operations.   Annex: Factsheet on the Singapore Power Grid Digital Twin -- End -- About Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

The digital twin of Singapore’s power grid will comprise two key models: 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. 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 Laboratory3   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)4, the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed 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.

Supported by the Energy Market Authority (EMA), SP Group (SP) and the Science and Technology Policy and Plans Office (S&TPPO) under the Prime Minister’s Office, the upcoming Grid Digital Twin will serve to enhance Singapore’s grid resilience to ensure grid reliability and support the deployment of cleaner energy sources.   The Grid Digital Twin is a virtual representation of the physical power grid assets and network and operates using real-time and historical data. It comprises two key models: Asset Twin1 for the health management of grid assets (such as substations, transformers, cables); and Network Twin2 for the assessment of impact on the grid when connecting new energy sources or consumers to the grid. The Grid Digital Twin is currently in a prototype stage and is expected to be fully developed over the next few years. When fully deployed, it will enable SP to better plan, operate and maintain the national power grid through modelling and simulations so that the actual works can be carried out in a more effective and efficient way. (Refer to Annex for more information.) Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin include improving network planning analysis and remote monitoring of asset conditions, thereby saving manpower resources in carrying out extensive physical inspections. As the Grid Digital Twin provides a more holistic model of the grid, it can facilitate planning of infrastructure for different needs (such as installation of electric vehicle chargers, and connection of solar photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems). Progressive enhancements to the Grid Digital Twin are in place to make it more accurate and efficient, as SP continues to digitise the existing electricity assets under the network.   In tandem with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, Singapore is looking to greener sources of energy and more diversification of energy supply, such as solar deployments, energy storage systems and vehicle-to-grid technologies. In addition, power grid operations will become more complex with increasing electrification and deployment of more distributed energy resources (DERs). Currently, the national power grid comprises over 18,000 transformers, with more than 27,000 km of underground cables interconnecting over 11,000 substations. The Grid Digital Twin will therefore help to future-proof our power grid, to ensure that it is well-equipped to manage such complexities while maintaining reliability of grid operations.   Mr Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said, “The digital twin for our national power grid will help to enhance the reliability of our electricity supply and support our transition towards greater energy sustainability. With the pressing need to tackle climate change, the power grid needs to evolve to support a more complex power system that will connect to more diverse sources of cleaner energy as well as a growing network to meet rising demand.”   Mr Stanley Huang, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group, said, “SP Group works closely with EMA to explore measures to improve Singapore’s grid reliability and resilience. Harnessing the power of digitisation, the Grid Digital Twin enables us to monitor and test different scenarios based on a virtual replica of the grid. We can then effectively test potential upgrades and enhancements, and future-ready innovations such as the projects under the SP Group - NTU Joint Lab to support our ambition to empower the future of energy.”   When completed, the Grid Digital Twin will be a key initiative in contributing towards Singapore’s overall efforts for greater sustainability through enhanced grid network planning and operations.   Annex: Factsheet on the Singapore Power Grid Digital Twin -- End -- About Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry.

The digital twin of Singapore’s power grid will comprise two key models: 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. 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 Laboratory3   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)4, the Network Twin is able to provide SP with a high-level assessment of the impact of demands on the grid and any upgrades required for different scenarios. The Network Twin is being developed 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 is funded by the Public Sector Science & Technology Policy & Plans Office (S&TPPO).   Key benefits of the Grid Digital Twin are: 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.   Improvement in carrying out network planning analysis by having a better network utilisation when balancing new or peak electricity loads.   Optimisation of asset investment, by identifying potential synergies between asset renewal and upgrades for load growth without compromising grid resilience.   Grid Digital Twin comprising the Asset Twin and Network Twin (Image Credit: Energy Market Authority) KEY VISUAL FOR ASSET TWIN Overview of Asset Health and Criticality Index for the Distribution Network (Image Credit: SP Group-NTU Joint Laboratory) KEY VISUAL FOR NETWORK TWIN Dashboard for analysing electric vehicle charging impact on the distribution grid using the Network Twin (Image Credit: Institute of High Performance Computing and TUMCREATE) 1 The Asset Twin is underpinned by five research projects awarded by EMA to SP Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the SP Group - NTU Joint Laboratory. 2 The Network Twin is being developed 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.
