Harnessing All-Scenario Grid Technologies to Boost Renewable Energy Sources
The 3rd International Digital Energy Expo (IDEE) commenced today in Shenzhen, China, gathering industry leaders, organization representatives, and experts from around the globe. The event serves as a platform for discussing recent industry trends, technology applications, and best practices to drive high-quality development in the digital energy sector. During the opening ceremony, Zhou Jianjun, Vice President of Huawei and President of Global Marketing, Sales, and Services of Huawei Digital Power, delivered a keynote address titled "All-Scenario Grid Forming Technology, Accelerating Wind and Solar as Main Power." In his speech, Zhou emphasized that achieving CO2 neutrality is shifting from mere consensus to actionable measures. He highlighted that the rapid increase in wind and photovoltaic (PV) penetration rates threatens the stability of existing power grids. Two notable challenges facing electricity supply systems, which heavily rely on renewable energy sources and power electronics devices, are becoming increasingly evident. To address these challenges, Huawei is committing to ongoing technological innovation to enhance their grid-forming capabilities across various scenarios, thereby facilitating the establishment of a stable new power supply system. This initiative aims to solidify wind and solar energy as primary power sources, heralding a new era of complete electrical infrastructure.
As a technology provider and pioneer in this field, Huawei has pushed for advancements in grid-forming technologies for more than a decade. By advocating for a shift from traditional grid-following approaches to innovative grid-forming, Huawei remains at the forefront of industry development. They have achieved this by integrating self-developed core hardware (high overload capacity and reliability power devices; highly intelligent digital controllers), architecture (highly available string architectures and secure two-stage power architectures), and algorithms (intelligent grid-forming algorithms). Huawei's initiatives have led to the development of six essential grid-forming capabilities for power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. These include short-circuit levels, virtual inertia support, broadband oscillation damping, rapid primary frequency response, black start capabilities within minutes, and seamless transitions between grid-connected and islanded operations.
Huawei's grid-forming technologies are being widely applied and commercially utilized around the world, setting benchmarks for global ecological transformation. In the Middle East, near the shores of the Red Sea, Huawei's grid-forming technologies have assisted a client in establishing the world's largest microgrid powered entirely by renewable energy. This microgrid has been operating reliably for two years and has successfully withstood storms that could have caused blackouts, ensuring steadfast electricity supply. In a unique 30-MW PV + 6-MW/24-MWh Energy Storage System (ESS) project in Tibet, China, Huawei has enabled the deployment of grid-forming ESS solutions in a remote, extremely cold, and weak grid environment, increasing the PV output from 1.5 MW to 12 MW. Compared to other industry solutions, Huawei's offering integrates 75% more energy, significantly boosting project revenues.
Moreover, the largest integrated PV + ESS project globally has recently been launched in the Philippines, addressing significant energy gaps. This project includes 3.5-GW PV facilities and 4.5-GWh ESS systems for grid stabilization. By employing Huawei's GW-level PV + ESS coordination control and black-start technologies, the project can guarantee a steady power output for 13 hours each day.
Huawei's aim is to lead digital and intelligent technological innovation in the industry. The company has established the industry's first "Device-Edge-Cloud" full-connect synergy for PV + ESS intelligence. This development enables smart management of power plants throughout their lifecycle, significantly reducing or even eliminating maintenance and operational efforts while maximizing energy trading revenues. By incorporating artificial intelligence into every aspect of planning, construction, maintenance, and operations, Huawei has managed to reduce engineering implementation and construction errors by 40%, while improving maintenance and operational efficiency by 50%, and increasing operational revenues by over 10%. This helps clients build safer, more efficient, and smarter renewable facilities, propelling the industry into a new era of automation.
Quality is paramount for the sustainability of the sector. Huawei Digital Power consistently emphasizes quality and aspires for success through excellence. With systematic, process-oriented capabilities and an all-encompassing quality strategy, Huawei integrates high standards across the entire product lifecycle, from demand definition and material management to production and delivery, continuously adding value for its customers. Huawei Digital Power is committed to collaborating with industry regulators, grid operators, trade associations, and standardization organizations to enhance industry standards, optimize electricity market mechanisms, and promote large-scale, standardized, and high-quality industry development to accelerate the adoption of wind and solar energy as primary power sources.
