Speech Title: Decarbonising Singapore: Impact, Challenges, and Opportunities
Abstract: With the commitment to curb carbon emissions, Singapore is looking to integrate various distributed energy resources (DERs), such as electric vehicles (EVs), solar PVs, etc., into its electrical grid. In this talk, I will talk about the challenges experienced or expected in Singapore with the large-scale deployment of DERs. The expected targets will be discussed along with the current scene, progress, and opportunities. Some planning strategies to incorporate EVs and PVs in the system will be discussed.
