Keppel, NUS, NTU eye development of a floating hybrid renewable energy system

The parties will study the technological and economic feasibility of its development.

Keppel Infrastructure’s applied technology innovation arm, KepInfra Energy Transition Centre (KETC) will be working with the National University of Singapore’s Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) and Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N) to study the technological and economic feasibility of developing a first-of-its-kind floating hybrid renewable energy system (RES) for operations in Singapore.

“The floating hybrid RES concept comprises modular offshore 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,” Keppel Infrastructure explained.

The study will explore the deployment of the floating hybrid RES at a particular offshore test site in Singapore waters, subject to the relevant regulatory approvals.

If the study becomes a success, the parties will design and deploy a pilot system with at least 100 MW of renewable power generation capacity which can be scaled up over time.

After implementing the novel system in Singapore, the aim is to roll out the floating hybrid RES innovation to other regions in Asia and beyond.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
