SHENZHEN, China, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Huawei FusionSolar Smart PV & Large Scale Energy Storage Global Virtual Summit
2021, organized by Huawei and moderated by pv magazine, kicked off on July 22.
The event brought together thought leaders in the PV industry to discuss the
latest developments and market opportunities in utility energy storage and
explore how Huawei Digital Power's smart string energy storage system will make
PV a primary energy source in the future.
Huawei Digital Power has accumulated more than ten years of experience in
energy storage R&D, and has already shipped 5 GWh+ lithium batteries geared
towards various scenarios, including utility-scale solar power plants,
residential applications, site power, data center energy, among others.
In his opening remarks, Dr. Fang Liangzhou, CMO at Huawei Digital Power
Technologies Co., Ltd., highlighted Huawei Digital Power's vision and prominent
features of the smart string energy storage system. He noted, "Huawei Digital
Power's vision focuses on Leading Power Digitalization for a Zero-carbon Smart
Society. We believe that the key to building a future-oriented power system
based on renewable energy is the integration of digital and power electronics
technologies."
According to Dr. Fang, to address multiple challenges that beleaguer
traditional energy storage systems, Huawei has integrated digital and power
electronic technologies in PV and energy storage systems and come up with the
smart string modular design, which refines the energy storage system management
through the battery pack-level and rack-level optimization. The pack-level
optimization improves the charge and discharge capacity by 6%, while the
rack-level optimization offers a further 7% improvement. Meanwhile, the
innovative distributed heat dissipation architecture extends battery lifespans,
and intelligent technologies such as AI and cloud BMS are used to evolve system
safety from reactive to proactive.
"Huawei's smart string energy storage solution increases the discharge
capacity, reduces O&M costs, ensures safety and reliability, and achieves a 20%
reduction in LCOS. " said Chen Guoguang, President of Huawei Smart PV, at the
virtual event. "For our solar customers, we are aiming to build a full
ecosystem, end-to-end energy solution. Not only in energy generation, but also
in energy storage and consumption, further lowering the LCOE and enables PV
grid parity to PV+ storage grid parity."
With the falling cost of energy storage and continuous technical innovations,
the utility-scale energy storage market is booming globally, with more growth
expected to come. Sam Wilkinson, Director, Clean Technology and Renewables, IHS
Markit, shared his prediction of the energy storage market with a global
audience. "2021 marks the start of a very strong period of growth for the
industry. We predict this year that the industry will more than double and will
see over ten gigawatts installed for the first time, equating to 28 gigawatt
hours (GWh) of energy storage capacity. And this growth is not just coming from
major established markets, but from a lot of smaller emerging opportunities as
well," said Wilkinson.
Jorge de Miguel, Head of Technical Advisory, Vector Renewables, introduced five
large-scale applications of battery energy storage systems (BESS) at the event
and pointed that a wide range of BESS services can be used to maximize the
total revenue of PV power plants. Another speaker who shed light on the PV+
Energy Storage solution was Felipe Hernandez, Managing Director of FRV X &
Engineering. He mentioned that business opportunities abound in both standalone
BESS and hybrid PV + energy storage solutions across the world and revealed the
various layers in the value stacks of both approaches.
In addition, Hariram Subramanian, CTO at Huawei Smart PV – Europe, walked the
audience through the Huawei Smart String PV-Storage Solution for Utility-scale
Scenarios. He emphasized that it is important to create a stable grid with the
grid forming concept and adopt the modular design that will make power plants
more resilient and robust.
With a high penetration of renewable energy in the electric grid, BESS is set
to play an even greater role in accelerating the transition towards a
low-carbon future. "We strongly believe that the integration of digital
technologies will unleash the full potential of energy storage, driving the
industry towards its carbon neutrality goals. Together, we can build a
zero-carbon smart society and realize carbon neutrality in the very near
future," concluded Dr. Fang.
