Groundbreaking Milestone in Energy Storage

In a significant step towards sustainable energy solutions, Huawei Digital Power and SchneiTec have announced the operational launch of the world’s first TÜV SÜD-certified grid-forming energy storage project in Cambodia. This pioneering project is a testament to the advancement in energy management technologies and a crucial milestone in the country’s transition towards renewable energy.

Project Overview

The newly completed energy storage project features an impressive capacity of 12 MWh, which includes a 2 MWh test facility designed to validate Huawei’s Smart String Grid Forming Energy Storage System. This innovative technology has demonstrated exceptional capabilities in stabilizing electric networks, both in off-grid and weak-grid conditions, enabling seamless integration of intermittent renewable energy sources.

The project not only represents the first deployment of an Energy Storage System (ESS) for grid formation in Cambodia but also lays the groundwork for future expansions of the nation’s energy capacity and infrastructure development at a large scale. The prestigious certificate from TÜV SÜD underscores the system’s reliability and adherence to prestigious energy standards.

Collaborative Testing and Validation

Testing for the project was conducted collaboratively by TÜV SÜD and the project partners SchneiTec and Huawei Digital Power. Known for their stringent safety and quality standards, TÜV SÜD verified critical technical parameters of Huawei's Smart String Grid Forming ESS including:

• - Inertial Response: The Huawei grid-forming technology showcased an outstanding inertial response, achieving an inertial time constant (Tj) ranging from 3 to 20 seconds; significantly exceeding the standard requirement of 3 to 12 seconds to ensure quicker network stabilization.
• - Voltage Support: The system effectively managed voltage fluctuations and maintained network stability during short-term voltage drops and surges, functioning efficiently across a wide voltage range from 5% to 130% of nominal voltage.
• - Overload and Frequency Support: The grid-forming ESS operated stably under short-term overloads up to 300% and effectively dampened low-frequency oscillations ranging from 0.2 Hz to 5 Hz.
• - Black Start Capability: The technology enabled a swift black start under load conditions, allowing for efficient network recovery after a total blackout.

This independent verification marks Huawei's first international validation of the grid-forming ESS on-site, aligning with international standards including IEC, Chinese national norms, British Grid Code, and German VDE standards. Thus, the TÜV SÜD certification is a testament to Huawei’s grid-forming ESS meeting globally recognized standards for energy management and network stability.

Significance of the Achievement

This milestone in technological advancement by Huawei Digital Power signifies not only progress in the energy sector but also highlights the essential partnership with SchneiTec, which has been an integral player in Cambodia’s energy solutions, having previously established the nation’s largest solar power plant.

Moving forward, Huawei Digital Power is committed to supporting Cambodia in its renewable energy strategy, fostering innovation and delivering stable, scalable, reliable solutions to meet the nation's growing demand for sustainable electricity while bolstering the development of its energy infrastructure.







In conclusion, this successful collaboration represents a remarkable progress for Cambodia's renewable energy future, aligning with the global shift towards sustainable energy practices and the efficient management of energy resources.
