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).
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used as they are lightweight and have high energy density. However, there are possible issues such as damage from overcharging and accelerated reactions when overheated – a serious risk in hot and humid Singapore, said Assistant Professor Hung Dinh Nguyen, one of the project’s leads.
