Delta’s one-stop solution helps NCUE build a megawatt energy storage demonstration system
Text by EISBG 2020/08

In recent years, the environmental awareness is increasing, Taiwan has amended its Renewable Energy Development Act to encourage the adoption of green energy for large electricity consumers. Delta collaborates with Ørsted and National Changhua University of Education (NCUE) to promote the intelligent energy and development of smart grids. The 1MW/1MWh energy storage system created by the one-stop service can not only stabilize the grid and regulate electricity, but also to optimize contract capacity while deepening academic research on microgrid and intelligent energy.

Delta proposed the bi-directional power conversion for power dispatching, automatic fire suppression system, energy management system (EMS), and customized service according to NCUE’s requirements. This collaboration with NCUE advances academic research in areas that are essential for Taiwan’s sustainable future, such as microgrid infrastructure as well as renewable energy generation and storage.

Christy Wang, Taiwan General Manager, Ørsted Asia Pacific, said, “Ørsted is going all out in supporting Taiwan’s energy transition. We began promoting academic-industry collaboration as early as during the grid allocation period for the Greater Changhua offshore wind projects and actively helped the academic communities and industries in Taiwan take the first step in energy storage study.”

"The campus can provide demonstrations for institutions or business entities with high power consumption to integrate renewable energy storage systems during the process. Also, this energy storage system Delta helped us install will serve as a source of backup power for the campus and it will utilize the variation in peak and off-peak loads of the campus’ electricity demand for load shaving, reducing contract capacity to save the cost and optimize energy efficiency," stated Dr. Guo Yen Guang, president of NCUE.

JJ Chang, general manager of Delta’s Energy Infrastructure & Industrial Solutions Business Group, said, “In line with its corporate mission, ‘To provide innovative, clean and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow’, Delta aims to develop smart energy solutions by seamlessly integrating its renewable energy and energy storage systems, as well as IoT technology, to optimize energy efficiency, one of the pillars of sustainable development. With the support of Ørsted, Delta is pleased to participate in this project and assist NCUE We look forward to cooperating further with Ørsted and other stakeholders to contribute to the transformation of Taiwan’s energy sector.”
