VIETPULSE - Vietnam Intelligent Energy Trading Platform for Upscaling Local energy Storage and EV

随着到2040年代逐步淘汰煤炭的目标以及到2050年实现净零排放的承诺，可再生能源是越南能源转型的关键。但电网传输能力不足，无法将风电场和太阳能发电场的能源输出到消费热点。因此，电力行业暂时停止了新项目的连接，并减少了现有项目的容量。家庭和工业区开发商现在越来越有兴趣建立屋顶太阳能系统用于自我消费。VIETPULSE项目将为越南电气化的下一个前沿领域做出贡献，通过利用数据和数字技术的智能电网，确保所有家庭，企业和生计的不间断和优质电力。VIETPULSE项目由英国Qbots Energy领导，通过创新的本地化智能能源市场平台将分布式智能控制沿着可再生能源，使其负担得起和可持续;利用低成本的物联网（IoT）技术，通过创新的能源服务模式克服障碍。在这个工业研究项目中，Qbots将与东方国际大学（EIU）（研究领导和试点）和HTENATECH（部署和商业化支持）合作。Qbots的可寻址和可服务市场包括越南的商业/工业园区和拥有净零目标的自住业主（如Becamex-EIU）。在解决了这个初始市场后，我们可以通过与负责公用事业的管理公司合作，将其提供给这些商业园区内的租户企业。VIETPULSE项目的创新方面是由Qbots开发的联合发电厂（FPP）技术，将点对点（P2P）能源交易系统的价值与包括电池存储在内的能源资产聚合的效率相结合。在FPP中，将开发和实施具有预测控制的优化算法，以协调能源使用，发电和电池存储，以平衡本地网络级别的需求和供应，同时对电网级别服务的资产进行分组，以提高可靠性。成果包括成功试用VIETPULSE平台，提供至少9个站点的经过验证的智能能源交易和优化平台，3台发电机（第4座75千瓦，第5座和车库电动车中心各10千瓦），60千瓦时的储能，5个电动车充电器和21千瓦时的电动摩托车双向电池交换站。其影响将通过KPI来衡量-通过VIETPULSE购买能源的客户节省的成本;现场太阳能和电池存储增加的收入;减少能源消耗的碳排放（kg/kwh）。

With the target to phase out coal by the 2040s and the commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, renewable energy is key to Vietnam's energy transformation. But the electricity grid transmission lacks capacity to export energy from wind farms and solar fields to consumption hotspots. As a result, the power industry has temporarily suspended the connection of new projects and reduced the capacity of existing projects. Households and industrial zone developers are now more and more interested in setting up rooftop solar systems for self-consumption. This VIETPULSE project will contribute to enabling the next frontier of electrification in Vietnam, guaranteeing uninterrupted and quality power to all households, enterprises and livelihoods with a smarter electricity grid utilising data and digital technologies.Led by UK based Qbots Energy, VIETPULSE project combines distributed smart control along with renewable energy through innovative localised smart energy marketplace platform to make it affordable & sustainable; overcomes barriers with innovative energy service models utilising low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. For this Industrial research project, Qbots will be collaborating with Eastern International University (EIU) (research lead & pilot-site) and HTENATECH (deployment and commercialisation support).Qbots' addressable & serviceable markets comprise of business/industrial parks in Vietnam with electricity meters and owner-occupiers (like Becamex-EIU) with net-zero targets. After addressing this initial market we could then offer it to the tenant businesses within these business parks by working with management companies responsible for their utilities.The innovative aspect of VIETPULSE project is the Federated Power Plant (FPP) technology developed by Qbots combining the value of Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading system with efficiencies of aggregation of energy assets including battery storage. In the FPP, an optimisation algorithm with predictive control will be developed and implemented to coordinate the energy usage, generation and battery storage to balance the demand and supply at a local network level, while grouping assets for grid level services for improving reliability.The outputs include successful trials of the VIETPULSE platform, delivering a validated smart energy trading & optimisation platform with at-least 9 sites, 3 generators (75 kWp on block 4, 10kWp each on Block-5 and Garage EV-hubs), 60kWh of energy storage, 5 EV chargers and 21kWh bi-directional battery swapping station for Electric motorcycles. The impact will be measured through KPIs - Cost savings for customers buying energy through VIETPULSE; Increased income from on-site solar and battery storage; Reduction in carbon emissions for the energy consumed (kg/kwh).
