A research-intensive public university, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students in the colleges of Engineering, Business, Science, and Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, and its Graduate College. NTU’s Engineering & Technology was ranked 8th position in the world and first in Asia.

EDF has built strong ties with NTU in the field of Smart Grids, among other by setting up the MASERA hybrid microgrid project as part of the REIDS initiative led by NTU.

National University of Singapore is ranked consistently as one of the world's top universities and offer the most extensive college degree courses in Singapore.

EDF is collaborating, with the department of Applied Mathematics on various Energy Markets applications.

The Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s national institute for applied solar energy research. The Institute’s R&D spectrum covers materials, components, processes, systems and services, with an emphasis on solar photovoltaic cells, modules and systems. SERIS is globally active but focuses on technologies and services for tropical regions, in particular for Singapore and South-East Asia.

EDF and SERIS have been collaborating on holistic methods to increase yield of PV in urban morphologies.

Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) is Singapore’s University of Applied Learning. SIT’s vision is to be a leader in innovative learning by integrating learning, industry and community. SIT offers applied degree programmes targeted at growth sectors of the economy.

EDF is collaborating with SIT in the PRIMO multi-microgrids project with focus on microgrid operation and waste-to-energy.

TUMCREATE is a research platform for the improvement of Singapore's public transportation, including the deployment of electric and autonomous mobility. It is funded by Singapore’s National Research Foundation as part of the Campus for Research Excellence And Technological Enterprise (CREATE). TUMCREATE is made up of over 100 scientists, researchers and engineers led by Professors from the Technical University of Munich and Nanyang Technological University.

EDF has collaborated with TUMCREATE in the PRIMO multi-microgrids project with focus on V2G, cooling load flexibilities, and interconnected microgrids market design.

EDF is collaborating with CNRS@Create in the DESCARTES Program to develop a digital twin of MASERA (EDF Lab Asia Pacific multi-energy testbed) based on hybrid AI. This digital twin will, among other things, make it possible to develop more efficient Energy Management System (EMS), and to open up new opportunities for monitoring the ageing of batteries (optimization of charging and discharging cycles) and photovoltaic panels (improve maintenance strategies).

Other academic partners include ERI@N, VinUni and MajuLab
