Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Chinese solar photovoltaic (PV) module-maker Trinasolar have partnered to advance AI-powered smart energy storage solutions.
The collaboration seeks to enhance the effectiveness, dependability and financial feasibility of renewable energy solutions, with an emphasis on intelligent energy storage systems.
The goal is to refine energy consumption and maintain the stability of the electricity network.
Guided by the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University, the partnership aims to create AI-powered instruments to refine investment choices.
It will advance system reliability via sophisticated energy predictions and implement clever optimisation techniques for a range of energy storage uses.
The initiative aligns with the global expansion of solar, wind and hydrogen energy sources.
NTU vice-president (industry) Professor Lam Khin Yong stated: “The partnership between NTU and Trinasolar reflects our commitment to advancing energy technologies that will support global efforts towards a low-carbon future.
“NTU has deep links with industry players and a strong track record in successful industry collaborations for renewable energy power grids, enabling smooth commercialisation pathways for any intellectual property developed in our joint partnerships.
“By aligning cutting-edge research with industry needs, we want to develop impactful solutions that build a more sustainable and energy-resilient future.”
NTU Singapore and Trinasolar will focus their efforts in three key strategic areas.
The collaboration aims to enhance smart investment decision-making and secure system stability through AI-powered forecasting techniques, and develop intelligent optimisation algorithms. All are key challenges in smart energy storage.
Trinasolar and NTU Singapore have formalised their partnership via a tech research collaboration agreement.
Both parties are committed to expand their partnership in AI-powered energy storage applications and the development of innovations to meet the needs of the renewable energy sector.
