The ATF SG hosted the fourth learning session for 2025 on 5 June via Zoom, focusing on the development of integrated battery energy storage systems (BESS) and
The ASEAN bloc has set the targets of 23% renewable energy in its Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) and 35% renewable energy in ASEAN installed power capacity by 2025. This means that energy storage is required. Additionally, without BESS acceptance on a larger level, the needed funds won't materialise, and fewer BESS will be built.
Typical BESS components include battery modules, a storage enclosure with thermal management, a power conversion system (PCS), a battery management system (BMS) and an energy management system (EMS). A few other ASEAN countries are also starting to wake up to the advantages of BESS in their respective energy sectors. But, it's a slow start.
BESS offers an innovative way to manage power supply and demand, improve energy reliability, and accelerate the adoption of renewable energy technologies. The declining cost of BESS: A game-changer for Southeast Asia
However, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) bloc is falling behind in technology implementation due to a lack of awareness and policy initiatives. Of the 11 ASEAN members, Singapore is taking the lead in the battery energy storage systems (BESS) space.
