Researchers in Singapore are exploring whether a hybrid renewable energy system in the waters offshore is a possibility.
Singapore has lots of inhabitants but not a lot of available land for solar panels and wind turbines. It does have a lot of open ocean to the south in the Singapore Strait, however. What it wants is renewable energy to power its economy that is reliable, consistent, and dependable.
The study will explore an offshore test site in the waters around Singapore. By using these complementary energy systems, continuous power output can be provided round the clock while reducing the amount of marine space required for operations, the three parties said. Keppel Infrastructure said the partnership will leverage its expertise in developing and operating efficient and reliable energy and environmental infrastructure, electricity retailing, as well as the development of end-to-end low carbon solutions, including renewable energy systems.
