At the beginning of the meeting, Hou Jinlong, Director of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power, delivered a keynote speech titled "Building High Quality, Unleashing AI Potential, and Ushering in a New Era of Comprehensive Networking," and interpreted Huawei's smart PV strategy.

 

Hou Jinlong stated: "The new energy industry has entered a period of deep value cultivation, accelerating the transition from single-point innovation to integrated innovation. Grid-forming technology and intelligent equipment will be key. High-quality and safe operation throughout the lifecycle is the cornerstone of the industry's sustainable development. Under the wave of the accelerated evolution of the new power system, Huawei Digital Power integrates 4T technology, adheres to a high-quality strategy, actively embraces AI, relies on all-scenario grid-forming technology, and accelerates the transformation of solar, wind, and energy storage into the main power sources. By deeply empowering equipment with AI technology and integrating it into customer production systems to achieve end-to-end cloud collaboration, we help customers achieve less manpower and unmanned operation and maintenance of power plants, intelligent power plant operation, and unleash value across the entire chain. We insist on taking high quality as the first element, creating highly reliable and safe products and solutions, and promoting the sustainable development of the industry."

Zhou Tao, President of Huawei Digital Power's Smart PV Product Line

In the process of transitioning to a new power system, the high proportion of new energy access, the explosive growth of distributed energy, and multiple load forms have presented challenges to traditional power systems, such as difficulties in stable control and weak flexible regulation capabilities. To address these challenges, Zhou Tao, President of Huawei Digital Power's Smart PV Product Line, released the world's first grid-forming energy storage solution—the FusionSolar 9.0 intelligent string-type grid-forming energy storage solution—ushering in a new era of all-scenario networking. This solution takes true networking, full intelligence, and high quality as its core, achieving three key breakthroughs: upgrading from energy storage networking to photovoltaic and energy storage networking, upgrading from generation-side networking to generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption all-scenario networking, and upgrading from site visibility and manageability to end-to-end intelligent management across the entire lifecycle through "end-edge-cloud" technology.

 

True Networking

Building Six Core Capabilities Around Generation, Transmission, Distribution, and Consumption

 

 

FusionSolar 9.0's power plant-level grid-forming energy storage system possesses six core capabilities of "true networking": short-circuit current support, virtual inertia support, wideband oscillation suppression, fast primary frequency regulation, minute-level black start, and seamless on/off-grid switching.

 

Therefore, regardless of the SOC status of the energy storage system, the SCR level of the grid environment, or the continuous evolution in all time domains facing the future energy architecture 7*24 hours uninterrupted, the Huawei FusionSolar 9.0 solution can provide stable support for the power system and supports One Matches All, i.e., one energy storage platform flexibly addresses the stability requirements under varying grid strength, and one platform adapts to various future business models such as peak regulation, frequency regulation, and inertia.

 

Huawei has expanded its advanced grid-forming experience accumulated in the energy storage field to photovoltaic and photovoltaic-energy storage grid-forming, pioneering an intelligent string-type grid-forming inverter in the industry, which can improve grid strength, suppress transient overvoltage risks, and enhance photovoltaic power transmission capacity.

 

Full Intelligence

Full-Chain AI Enables Intelligent Management of the Entire Lifecycle of Power Plants

 

 

Huawei Digital Power has created the industry's first "end-edge-cloud" full-chain collaborative wind-solar-storage intelligent body (FusionSolar Agent), enabling intelligent management of the entire lifecycle of power plants, achieving less manpower and unmanned operation and maintenance of power plants, and maximizing the benefits of power trading.
 

 

By deeply integrating AI into the entire "planning-construction-maintenance-operation" process, it achieves a 40% reduction in implementation and design errors in engineering construction, a 50% improvement in operation and maintenance efficiency, and a more than 10% increase in operating income, helping customers build safer, more efficient, and intelligent new energy power plants and leading the industry towards a new stage of energy "autonomous driving."

 

High Quality

Based on Systems and Processes, Achieving High-Quality Benchmarks

 

 

True networking and full intelligence inject new impetus into the industry, while high quality is the cornerstone of all development. Relying on systematic and process-oriented capabilities, and end-to-end long-life design and verification models, Huawei Digital Power decomposes the high-quality requirements for the long lifecycle of products into every link of design, testing, verification, and application.

 

For energy storage systems with stricter safety requirements, under the guarantee of an end-to-end strong-electricity safety system, Huawei Digital Power redefines energy storage safety and has built five core safety designs from cells, battery packs, battery clusters, energy storage boxes to the grid, progressing layer by layer and interlocking to jointly build Huawei's energy storage safety defense line, aiming to set a new safety benchmark for the industry.

 

 

 

Grid-Forming Verification

In-depth Industry Discussion, the Key Role of Grid-Forming Energy Storage

 

 

Liu Yafang, an adjunct professor at Zhejiang University, reviewed the industry's application practices of grid-forming energy storage technology and explored the positive role of grid-forming technology in the construction of new power systems in her presentation titled "Grid-Forming Energy Storage Technology Helps Wind and Solar New Energy Become the Main Power Source of New Power Systems."
 

 

Han Xiaoqi, Safety Director of the Electric Power Planning & Design Institute and Deputy Secretary-General of the China New Energy Storage Industry Innovation Alliance, delivered a keynote speech on "Grid-Forming Technology Assisting the Construction of New Power Systems."

Zhou Hongbo, Deputy Director of the New Energy Management Bureau of Yalong River Basin Hydropower Development Co., Ltd., shared a grid-forming verification case study on "Application Practice of the Kela 100-megawatt-hour Grid-Forming Energy Storage Project in Yalong River," and in-depth discussed the key role of grid-forming energy storage in assisting the construction of new power systems.
 

 

Li Yue, Director, General Manager, and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of China Huaneng Group Northern United Power Co., Ltd., shared "Demonstration and Prospect of Grid-Forming Photovoltaic Joint Innovation Cooperation Facing Large-Scale Scenarios," verifying the excellent performance of grid-forming technology through real cases.

 

Jointly released a comprehensive networking initiative with 13 companies and organizations

 

 

The global energy transition and the construction of new power systems require the joint efforts of the entire industry chain, including the resource aggregation of industry associations, global collaboration of standardization organizations, and strategic guidance from consulting firms; it also requires innovative breakthroughs from solution providers, forward-looking research from research institutes, rigorous certification from testing institutions, and large-scale deployment from power generation groups. At the meeting, Huawei Digital Power, based on "photovoltaic and storage integration" and committed to "intelligently building the future," joined hands with representatives from 13 companies and organizations to launch a comprehensive networking initiative, exploring the future development direction of the photovoltaic and storage industry and embracing the new era of networking together.

Under the trend of accelerating the construction of new power systems, Huawei Digital Power will continue to work with global customers and partners, and continuously invest with all parties in the industry to promote the sustainable and high-quality development of the industry through technological innovation.
