SINGAPORE - A new type of energy generation system, which harnesses a combination of solar, wind and tidal energy, could soon be developed here.
If it is found feasible, the parties plan to design and deploy a pilot system with at least 100MW of renewable energy capacity, which can be scaled up over time. The system would comprise modular floating solar platforms with the flexibility to integrate other renewable energy technologies, such as ocean wave energy conversion systems, tidal energy turbines and paddles, as well as wind turbines.By using these complementary energy systems, continuous power output can be provided 24/7, while reducing the amount of marine space required for operations, said the three parties.
This would enhance energy security and support Singapore’s transition to a greener energy mix, she added.at the Asia Clean Energy Summit 2022,Keppel Infrastructure said the partnership will leverage its expertise in developing and operating efficient and reliable energy and environmental infrastructure, electricity retailing, as well as the development of end to-end low-carbon solutions, including renewable energy systems.
