SINGAPORE - The Singapore Institute of Technology's upcoming Punggol campus will be the first university in South-east Asia to have a multi-energy micro-grid network, a system which draws on different energy sources to address the energy needs of the campus.
The micro-grid, a collaborative research venture between SIT and SP Group, is specially designed for Singapore's tropical climate and will integrate gas, electricity and thermal energy into one energy network at the future campus which will be completed by 2023. Associate Professor Steven Wong, who is director of projects in the office of the provost, said:"The aim of the 'living lab' is to support Singapore to be a regional hub for digital advancements and talent development, by integrating education, innovation and research into real-life environments and scenarios.
This will enable students, faculty and industry professionals to come together to collaborate on projects that can benefit the community, said the university. SIT president Tan Thiam Soon said on Tuesday:"The new kid on the block has now been around the block a little, grown up a little and is about to sink its roots deeply in Punggol.
