V2G

In Singapore, there are no prominent dedicated V2G companies that exclusively operate as a "factory" manufacturing V2G hardware or as a pure "trader" of V2G products. V2G initiatives and capabilities are typically integrated into the broader offerings of larger international energy companies with a presence in Singapore, or are part of research and pilot projects conducted by utilities and academic institutions.

One relevant entity involved in advanced energy solutions that include V2G capabilities, among other sustainable technologies, is ENGIE.

Company Introduction: ENGIE is a global leader in low-carbon energy and services. With a significant presence in Singapore, ENGIE is committed to accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. They provide integrated solutions across energy, services, and mobility for cities, industries, and businesses. While not exclusively a V2G company, ENGIE develops and implements advanced energy solutions that include electric vehicle charging infrastructure and smart grid technologies. V2G capabilities are part of their broader portfolio, aimed at enhancing grid stability, optimizing energy usage, and supporting sustainable urban development in Singapore and the wider Asia Pacific region. Their focus is on delivering comprehensive energy services, including the integration and optimization of renewable energy and electric mobility solutions.

Belongs to Factory or Trader: ENGIE is neither a pure "factory" manufacturing V2G hardware in Singapore nor primarily a "trader" exclusively reselling third-party V2G products. ENGIE functions as a "solution provider and integrator." They draw upon their global expertise and technology, often in collaboration with partners, to design, implement, and operate V2G-enabled energy management systems and services. Their role is to deliver end-to-end energy solutions that may incorporate V2G technology for their clients and contribute to energy transition efforts.

In Singapore, the V2G (Vehicle to Grid) landscape is primarily driven by pilot projects and research initiatives involving various stakeholders, rather than dedicated V2G manufacturing companies producing mass-market products. The main entity leading V2G developments and offering related solutions is SP Group (Singapore Power), often in collaboration with technology partners.

Here are the products and services typically involved in Singapore's V2G ecosystem:

Bidirectional Charging Hardware: These are specialized EV charging stations that allow electricity to flow both into and out of an electric vehicle. While not manufactured by a Singaporean V2G company, these units are procured and integrated into solutions.

Energy Management Systems: Software platforms designed to optimize the flow of energy between electric vehicles, buildings, and the power grid. These systems manage charging and discharging schedules, respond to grid signals, and maximize energy efficiency or cost savings.

Grid Integration Services: Technical services and solutions that enable electric vehicles to provide ancillary services to the national power grid, such as frequency regulation, voltage support, and peak shaving. This involves the software and infrastructure to communicate with and respond to grid demands.

V2G Pilot Project Implementation: Companies like SP Group initiate and manage pilot projects that demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of V2G technology for specific applications, such as managing EV fleets or providing grid services. This includes setting up the infrastructure, collecting data, and analyzing performance.

Consultancy and Advisory Services: Offering expertise to fleet operators, building owners, and other potential users on how to implement V2G technology, its potential benefits, and the necessary infrastructure.

Research and Development: Continuous efforts to innovate in V2G technology, exploring new applications, improving efficiency, and addressing technical or regulatory challenges.

These offerings are typically part of integrated solutions for specific clients or demonstration projects, rather than standalone V2G products sold directly to individual consumers by a Singaporean manufacturing firm.
