UiTM and GoodWE Technologies forge collaborative partnership to advance green technology and energy efficiency

Kuala Lumpur, May 10th, 2023- In an event filled with enthusiasm and optimism, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and GoodWE Technologies joined hands to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) product launch. This landmark collaboration between the Solar Research Institute (SRI), UiTM and GoodWE Technologies holds tremendous potential to revolutionize the field of green technology and energy efficiency. The signing of the MoU signifies a shared commitment to foster international academic collaboration and promote advancements in sustainable energy solutions. Both UiTM and GoodWE Technologies have agreed to engage in various collaborative activities outlined within the MoU. These activities include the exchange of staff members, acceptance of students for study and research purposes, organization of conferences, sharing of teaching and research information, reciprocal website promotion, and exploration of additional collaborative opportunities. This comprehensive agreement sets the stage for a fruitful and enduring partnership between UiTM and GoodWE Technologies. At the heart of this collaboration lies the SRI, UiTM-PETRONAS project, specifically the “Cloud-Based Energy Management System Using Artificial Intelligence for Virtual Power Plant (VPP)” initiative. Led by Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr. Nofri Yenita Dahlan, Director of SRI, this pioneering project aims to integrate Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into the electric power market operations through a cloud-based model. By enhancing grid flexibility, strengthening security measures, and mitigating environmental risks, this innovative approach aligns seamlessly with Malaysia’s ambitious goals of promoting green, low-carbon, and smart energy transitions. The collaborative efforts underline the collective commitment to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development for the nation.
