Yongyu Intelligent wins microgrid projects in Tainan and Chiayi to boost Taiwan's energy resilience

Taiwan is bolstering its energy resilience with the development of microgrids, crucial components of a decentralized power system. Yongyu Intelligent, a subsidiary of Fubon (1907), has been awarded contracts to establish these 'disaster prevention microgrids' in Tainan and Chiayi counties, a key initiative funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Yongyu Intelligent relies on the team's professional background and practical experience, with four major advantages: field resilience, domestic equipment, management systems, and energy efficiency, to stand out among many competitors.

Ye Hui-ching, Chairman of Fubon Investment Control and Yongyu Intelligent, highlighted the company's strengths in field resilience, domestic equipment, management systems, and energy efficiency. Yongyu Intelligent will construct these microgrids across seven locations in Tainan's Madou, Cigu, and Nanhua districts, and in Chiayi's Budai, Yizhu, Dongshi, and Liujiao townships, utilizing public spaces.

The project involves integrating existing solar power facilities and adopting domestically produced equipment, such as Fubon's new intelligent energy storage systems. The microgrids will feature power conversion systems, energy management systems (EMS), and diesel generators. This setup will enable autonomous management of power generation, storage, grid connection, and supply. During normal operations, the microgrids will help reduce peak load demand and manage contract capacity. In the event of a power outage due to natural disasters, they can switch to an islanded power mode, sustaining essential lighting and life-support equipment for up to 72 hours, thereby enhancing community grid resilience.

Yongfengyu is a rare Taiwanese industry pioneer that simultaneously builds behind-the-meter energy storage, promotes virtual power plants, and constructs microgrids.

Ye further elaborated on Fubon's long-standing commitment to the circular economy under the leadership of second-generation founder Ho Shou-chuan. The company has progressively built a flexible, decentralized, low-carbon energy management model, encompassing self-generated power, bio-green electricity, and smart energy management. Fubon is noted as a rare Taiwanese industry pioneer simultaneously developing behind-the-meter energy storage, promoting virtual power plants, and constructing microgrids. This expertise is now being extended from corporate applications to public disaster prevention initiatives in Tainan and Chiayi, serving as a model for energy resilience solutions in other counties and cities.

This project extends from corporate field demonstrations to large-scale implementation in the public disaster prevention field, becoming a benchmark energy resilience solution for various counties and cities, carrying significant social meaning.
