Singapore’s first large-scale solar floating farm opens at Tengeh Reservoir

SINGAPORE - Having grown its solar capacity by more than seven times since 2015, Singapore is now one of the most solar-dense cities in the world. The Republic took one big step towards environmental sustainability when its first large-scale floating solar photovoltaic (PV) system at Tengeh Reservoir - about the size of 45 football fields - was officially opened on Wednesday (July 14). Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was the guest of honour at the event. This latest solar farm in Tengeh, which has a capacity of 60 MWp, will contribute to to the country's plan to install at least 2 GWp of solar PV capacity by 2030. The project will give the nation's solar and renewable energy industry a boost, paving the way for more such facilities to be built here and in the region, Mr Lee said. The idea of building a floating solar farm came up a decade ago when Singapore was looking for ways to harness solar energy at scale. This became an increasingly viable option as the cost of solar cells came down. Building a floating solar farm also helped to capitalise on the large surface area of reservoirs and allow for solar deployment to be scaled up, the PM added. Spread across 10 solar-panel islands,...

Hitachi ABB Power Grids launches new transformers for floating offshore wind power

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, Jun 7, 2021 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Hitachi ABB Power Grids today launched a portfolio of transformer products for offshore floating applications, designed to overcome the challenging offshore environment and withstand the physically demanding conditions on floating structures. The portfolio will enable much greater volumes of wind to be efficiently harvested and integrated into the global energy system, directly supporting the transition to a sustainable energy future.The portfolio of transformers will be installed on floating offshore substations and floating wind turbines in deep waters, where traditional solutions are not feasibleBuilding offshore presents many challenges beyond the harsh saltwater environment. So far, only a small fraction of offshore potential has been exploited, as in many areas the seabed is not suitable and depths of 60 meters are not feasible for fixed structures.Floating substations and floating wind turbines offer a solution, which can be used in deeper waters, vastly increasing the available global capacity for developing offshore wind energy. Yet floating systems come with their own challenges: over their entire lifet...
