Renewable in ASEAN and the challenge of Integration to the Grid
CCE ASEAN Forum, November 2014

Zoom on ASEAN Energy Dilemma ● The regional ambition… ● Fuelling economic & demographic growth will be met by answering the energy demand:
● … is facing tough realities Build a low carbon society & a green economy
x2 energy related CO2 emissions. 2.3GT by 2035*
GDP growth should remain high
Natural resources and energy security are pushing energy prices up
Final energy demand will double by 2035* Installed electrical power capacity due to increase by 50% by 2030**

● Using a fossil-fuelled dominated energy mix has its drawbacks:
Spending on Oil import to tripple by 2035
Bring sustainability 2
The rational for Renewable in ASEAN > Virtually unlimited > One source at least available everywhere > No greenhouse gas emission (Hydro, Solar, Wind, Geothermal) or neutral carbon balance (Biomass) > Some of them can be used locally in a decentralized manner > Set to represent up to 20% of Energy Mix by 2035 3
Schneider Electric in the Solar Segment ďƒ strong local presence in all South-East Asia countries
Regional Solar Solution Centre Bangkok, Thailand, 50 + staff
Offices & Service Centres Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, Davao, Phitsanulok, Ubon Ratchathani, Kuala Lumpur, etc.
Solar installations in the Region Over 300 MW of power plants in South-East Asia are using Schneider Electric’s solutions
> Today over 5,000 + employees in South-East 4 Asia
Impact & opportunity of renewable on the grid > Challenges: > Numerous distributed sources of very different sizes > Intermittent production > New type of machines/techno connected to the grid
> Impact > > > >
Supply / Demand balance more difficult to keep Grid operation and safety becomes more difficult Impact on the grid electrical infrastructure Quality of Energy
Requiring smarter grids
> Opportunity > Distributed sources to better withstand the loss of a centralized production unit > Power electronic inverters brings the flexibility of software controlled machines, plus the ability to communicate 5

Example of our innovative Solutions towards Smarter grids and Renewable integration Scada & Power Plant Controller
Substation Automation
(Phillipines, NGPC)
(Thailand, MEA)
Allow investor/operator to manage its assets and fulfill the Grid Utility requirements regarding power quality regulation for large PV.
Allow Grid operators to remotely monitor and control there substations with an integrated set of products and software 7
Key challenges & success factors > External > > > >
Comply with local grid regulation & administration Visibility on Government energy policy & incentives Complex and fast changing ecosystem Entry barriers (Tax, certification) make it important to have a local presence
> Internal > Find & retain the right people > Find the right partners > Find a differentiating value proposition
