MASERA: Microgrid for Affordable and Sustainable Electricity in Remote Areas

Abstract

Semakau, 8km South of Singapore, is hosting the largest hybrid microgrid testbed and research platform in Southeast Asia in the framework of the REIDS project (Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator – Singapore), led by NTU (Nanyang Technological University) and supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and the National Environment Agency (NEA). Among the industrial partners, a consortium of world leading corporations, EDF R&D has signed a four-year Research Collaboration Agreement (RCA) with the University, with the support of the French DSO Enedis, to develop the MASERA microgrid.
