1.Introduction
The “Problem-solving” -oriented smart grid master plan amendment was approved by Executive Yuan of Taiwan in 2019. The amendment was based on the power grid stability with 20% of renewable energy in 2025, taking into account the power supply quality, user services and other directions. Referencing the international trend of power grid development, updating grid real-time monitoring and equipment protection, and applying advanced technologies such as AI, big data, and telecom technologies, the goals of the smart grid master plan to ensure a stable supply of electricity and take into account energy security, green economy, and environmental sustainability, while implementing energy transformation can be achieved.
2.Vision:
A. Short term(~2020) : enhancing grid operation flexibility for high penetration rate of renewable energy
B. Middle term(~2025) : enforcing grid resilience for climate change.
C. Long term(~2030) : realizing electricity reform for energy sustainable development.
3.Objectives:
A. Improve grid operation stability
B. Enhance grid resilience and power quality
C. Encourage energy conservation
4. Implementations
The implementation of the smart grid is divided into 7 important areas, including “smart dispatch and power generation”, “grid management”, “deployment of energy storage systems”, “demand-side management”, “infrastructure development of telecommunications”, “industrial development” and “laws and regulation”.
5. The significant effort of Smart Grid deployment:
A. Renewable energy real-time monitoring: the quantity will reach 2GW in 2020, and 16.5GW in 2025.
B. Capacity of Energy Storage System: The ESS capacity will expect to be 24MW in 2020, 590 MW in 2025.
C. Shortening the recovery time from 50 to 5 minutes: The ratio of Power recovery events will raise to 25% in 2020, 70% in 2025, and 90% in 2030.
D. Low voltage AMI deployment: The installation will grow to 1 million in 2020, 3 million in 2024, and 6 million in 2030.
E. Load management measures: the participation will grow to 2.5GW in 2020, 2.8GW in 2025, and 3GW in 2030.
