Southeast Asia''s biggest BESS officially opened
Singapore has surpassed its 2025 energy storage deployment target three years early, with the official opening of the biggest battery storage
Singapore has surpassed its 2025 energy storage deployment target three years early, with the official opening of the biggest battery storage project in Southeast Asia. The opening was hosted by the 200MW/285MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project's developer Sembcorp, together with Singapore's Energy Market Authority (EMA).
The ASEAN bloc has set the targets of 23% renewable energy in its Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) and 35% renewable energy in ASEAN installed power capacity by 2025. This means that energy storage is required. Additionally, without BESS acceptance on a larger level, the needed funds won't materialise, and fewer BESS will be built.
Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries, with their high energy density and efficiency, remain dominant but pose thermal management and safety issues in hot climates. Iron-based batteries offer enhanced thermal stability and safety, making them suitable for the ASEAN region despite their lower energy density and commercial immaturity.
Of the 11 ASEAN members, Singapore is taking the lead in the battery energy storage systems (BESS) space. Earlier this year, the city-state launched the region's largest battery energy storage system (BESS).
Iron-based batteries offer enhanced thermal stability and safety, making them suitable for the ASEAN region despite their lower energy density and commercial immaturity. Zinc-based batteries, being cost-effective and environmentally friendly, are well-suited for hot climates, though they still face challenges with energy density and cycle life.
Singapore's new BESS will help mitigate the solar intermittency caused by changing weather conditions in the region's tropical climate. Because wind and solar resources aren't constantly available and predictable, they're referred to as intermittent energy resources. What Is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)?
