Global Initiative to Promote Clean Energy

During the International Digital Energy Expo (IDEE) 2025, an important global forum discussed the future of renewable energy. Organized by the China Energy Research Society, the Global Solar Council (GSC), and Huawei Digital Power, the Global Low-Carbon Industry Forum gathered key players, including energy regulatory agencies, grid operators, and industry associations. The central theme was the concept of an "All-Scenario Grid Forming Technology" aimed at accelerating the role of wind and solar power in the energy mix.

Insights from Keynote Speakers

In his opening remarks, Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board at Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power, emphasized the future of energy storage systems. He projected that as technology advances, energy storage will become increasingly integrated with wind and solar energy, transforming them into reliable energy sources. Significant innovations in grid-forming technologies, artificial intelligence, and quality products will be crucial during this transition. This new approach aims to harness wind and solar energy to provide clean energy worldwide, ultimately contributing to a greener future.

The Road Ahead for Renewable Energy

The discussion also covered the current status and future of energy transitions globally. Xiang Haiping, Chief Expert at the China Energy Research Society, provided an overview of China's renewable energy landscape, while Andrés Rebolledo from the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) highlighted the shift from traditional power grids to smart, resilient systems across Latin America. Similarly, Dato' Ir. Ts. Razib Dawood, Executive Director of the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), outlined the ASEAN nations' readiness to improve renewable energy supply and grid integration.

Technological Innovations and Future Trends

Industry experts shared insights about the technological advancements driving the renewable energy sector. Peter Wall, Head of Grids Research at BloombergNEF, discussed how the inertia of the power grid is decreasing as the proportion of renewable energy increases. He underscored the importance of synchronous condensers and grid-forming energy storage systems (ESS) as critical technologies for grid stability. Moreover, the role of inverters has become indispensable for maintaining the integrity of power supply.

Building a High-Quality Renewable Energy Sector

Wang Jifeng, former Chief Engineer at China Southern Power Grid, addressed the critical need for energy to achieve carbon neutrality, stressing that advancements in technology can foster high-quality development in energy and electricity sectors. The global focus is shifting toward building high-quality development paths through grid-forming technologies and their applications worldwide.

Steven Zhou, President of Smart PV ESS at Huawei Digital Power, elaborated on various applications for grid-forming scenarios, supported by Huawei's innovations in digital technologies. Dennis B. Jordan, CEO at MGEN Renewable Energy, shared insights on MTerra Solar, a significant integrated photovoltaic and battery energy storage system project.

Conclusion: Towards a Sustainable Future

Collaboration across borders and among various stakeholders will be essential to overcoming challenges in the renewable energy sector. Industry leaders emphasized that maintaining quality throughout the product lifecycle is crucial for sustainable development. Huawei Digital Power is committed to innovation and upholding the principle of quality first, urging collaboration within the industry to close the global energy gap and deliver affordable, green energy to all.

This initiative has laid a crucial foundation for the future success and stability of the renewable energy landscape, showcasing a united front against the pressing challenges of climate change and energy security.
