    1A-day workshop for the visit of TNB on 19th Sept 2019

    TNB team and Hoppecke team visited the smart grid laboratory at UTAR on 19th Sept 2019. CPSE has organized a workshop for their visit. A series of presentations regarding the energy storage project and its functions were organized. The purpose of their visit is to understand the potential commercialization of the energy storage system and also to explore the feasibility of installing the system at TNB substation. They have asked many technical questions regarding the grid-integrated energy storage system. The event was considered as a success because TNB has been planning to install the same system on their substation after the visit. The following is the photos taken during the event.
