Energy Storage System for Taiwan and Asia-Pacific
Taiwan has set its goal of increasing its renewable energy capacity to 27GW by 2025, which amounts to 20% of the country’s total electricity generation. With the increase of intermittent energy source, the traditional electricity system is facing frequency instability due to the integration of renewable energy into the grid. Taipower, Taiwan’s state-owned electricity enterprise, has been upgrading the grid’s capability of absorbing the renewable energy with energy storage.
Taipower has announced it needs at least 1000MW capacity of AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) services in 2020-2025. TPE Energy Inc., having won a 2MW BESS service contract, is one of the five companies that have been awarded a total of 15 MW battery storage capacity by Taipower in bilateral contracts in 2020. TPE Energy Inc. provides comprehensive services, ranging from developing and designing battery equipment and energy management system, customizing EMS software and remote monitoring software, construction and installation, and around-the-clock monitoring and maintenance.
TPE Energy Inc. has installed a 2MW BESS with LFP batteries in Taoyuan, Taiwan; the EMS has a three-layered security protection mechanism; no record of fire incident has been reported with the BESS TPE adopts. The 40-ft container stores 3.2MWh of energy and is certified with UN38.3/UL1973/UL9540a/UL9540. Long cycle life, battery cells and battery modules monitoring, and follow-up maintenance ensures the site can have long-term operation without unnecessary interruptions and maximizes service revenues to enhance investment efficiency.
Energy Storage System is a key facilitator in the development of solar power and wind power, both of which are generated from sources characterized by intermittency and uncertainty. TPE Energy Inc. can accommodate its partners in the electricity market and aspires to innovate stable commercial models for the ESS in Taiwan and other local markets in Asia.
