HDRE Established the Solar Storage & Charging Integrated Demonstration Station. Micro-Gridhig Hlighting Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Tandem.
HD Renewable Energy (HDRE) has established a solar storage & charging integrated demonstration station in Tainan, equipped with solar photovoltaic systems, energy storage facilities, a 120 kW Charging Station, V2G Charging Station, and an Energy Management System (EMS). This site has been transformed into a regional Smart Grid, also known as a "Micro-Grid." In situations where disasters or accidents result in power disruptions, the demonstration site can generate electricity independently and, when necessary, disconnect from the grid to prevent a recurrence of Taiwan's 303 blackouts. Moreover, the Micro-Grid serves a dual purpose of energy conservation and sustainability.
