The new system uses sensors, satellite imagery and machine learning to forecast sunlight levels an hour ahead at greater accuracy than ever before.
Low-carbon technologies such as solar energy are key to Singapore achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.SINGAPORE: As Singapore charges towards its 2030 goals for sustainable development, unpredictable weather like rain and cloud cover could dampen the nation’s solar energy aspirations.
This enables EMA to manage electricity supply and demand more efficiently, the authority said in a statement on Tuesday . More reliable solar power means less reliance on natural gas to power the country, bringing Singapore closer to its emissions targets.The conversion of sunlight into electrical energy through solar technologies is always going to be inconsistent due to sporadic weather changes.
When it is sunny, the system taps solar energy to power homes, offices and transport networks. The storage system can also automatically store surplus energy for later. The agency expects system peak demand to increase at a compound annual growth rate of up to 5 per cent over the next five years.
