By

SHANGHAI, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 4th International Digital Energy Expo (IDEE 2026) was held from September 15 to 17. At IDEE 2026, Huawei Digital Power showcased its latest practices of “grid forming + AI” in renewable energy applications with the theme of “Making the Most of Every Ray, Powering the Unpowered.” The company presented its solutions for utility, grid-forming energy storage system (ESS), smart microgrids, commercial and industrial (C&I) green power, ultra-fast charging, and grid-interactive AI data center (AIDC).

Utility: Grid-Forming Stability Meets Full-Lifecycle AI

Huawei’s FusionSolar9.0 Utility PV Solution unveiled the industry’s first 1000VAC solution, the industry’s first grid-forming string inverter, and the industry’s largest 11MW smart transformer station. This solution further enhances the capabilities of large renewable plants in terms of performance ratio, grid friendliness, and smart operation and maintenance (O&M).

The innovative smart string inverter features grid awareness and oscillation damping. In terms of AI, the FusionSolar Agent, based on the device-edge-cloud collaboration foundation. This helps customers address challenges in electricity marketization and achieve higher overall benefits. On September 10, 2026, Huawei’s Smart I-V Curve Diagnosis solution successfully passed the L5 test, the highest level of certification, from China General Certification Center, becoming the industry’s first solution to achieve this certification.

Grid-Forming ESS: Stabilizing Grids and Enhancing Smart Operation Capabilities

Huawei has developed six plant-level grid-forming capabilities, including short-circuit capacity support, inertia response, wideband oscillation damping, primary frequency regulation, black start, and seamless on/off-grid switching. These capabilities ensure stable grid forming for the entire plant, under all working conditions and at all times.

Huawei showcased its new-generation Smart String Grid Forming ESS Solution. The solution features the industry’s first 1000 VAC smart string architecture, through-busbar architecture, and plant-level grid forming technology. It supports 1000 VAC voltage and the industry’s optimal 12.5 MW/50 MWh array, improving performance ratio and delivery efficiency while further unleashing the revenue potential throughout the lifecycle. Additionally, the solution provides more accurate digital support for electricity trading based on the digital twin platform, and builds a cell-to-grid, full-lifecycle safety assurance system.

Smart Microgrid: Balancing Stable Power Supply and Economical Energy Use

Huawei’s Smart Microgrid Solution features high quality and efficiency, stable grid forming, and lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), and has been implemented in many areas worldwide with no or insufficient electricity.

It supports strong and weak grid adaptation, PQ/VSG switching, and full VSG mode operation. The on/off-grid switching time at medium voltage is 40 ms. It also supports a grid-forming SOC range of 5% to 98% and parallel operation of multiple voltage sources with the ESS and gensets. This further improves the system configuration flexibility and energy efficiency while ensuring stable power supply.

C&I Green Power: Grid Forming Unleashes the Value of Generation-Grid-Load-Storage Synergy

The C&I One-Fits-All Solution is designed for various scenarios, including PV-only, ESS-only, PV+ESS, charger+ESS, and virtual power plant (VPP). Huawei also shared its global rollout practices of this solution.

As for energy storage, Huawei introduced its 241 kWh series C&I Hybrid Cooling Grid Forming ESS Solution. This product upgrades the traditional single cooling mode to a smart hybrid cooling mode through an innovative thermal management architecture.

JA’s Space PV Products Reach Orbit, Starting Space Validation

Published

By

BEIJING, Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JA announced that its independently developed and packaged P-type heterojunction (P-HJT) modules were successfully launched on September 17 and entered their planned orbit.

The mission marks JA’s first in-orbit test of P-HJT modules, with future large-scale commercial applications as a long-term goal.

“Energy innovation has long been a driving force behind human progress,” said Dr. Ouyang Zi, Chief Technology Officer of JA. “As satellite deployment accelerates and the space economy expands, solar power is expected to play an increasingly important role in future space infrastructure. Developing more cost-competitive solar solutions for space is therefore an important strategic priority.

“JA has spent years building expertise in photovoltaic technology, with the reliability and long-term performance of its products proven through large-scale manufacturing and deployment across a wide range of terrestrial applications. This in-orbit test extends those capabilities into the space environment and marks an important step in JA’s exploration of future space energy solutions.

“Through real-world testing in orbit, we aim to assess the reliability and degradation of crystalline silicon technology in low-Earth orbit and explore more cost-competitive options for future space energy systems. The technology will require long-term validation, but we believe it is a direction worth pursuing.”

In orbit, the JA modules will be exposed to harsh conditions, including intense radiation, high-energy particles and extreme temperature swings. By comparing in-orbit performance data with results from ground-based simulations, JA will assess the long-term reliability and degradation of P-HJT technology in low-Earth orbit.

If the validation targets are achieved, the program could help accelerate the adoption of mature crystalline silicon technologies as an alternative to gallium arsenide in low-Earth-orbit applications, potentially lowering the cost of satellite power systems. It could also support the development of satellite internet, remote sensing, space communications, space-based computing and other low-Earth-orbit applications.

JA will use the mission as a starting point to further strengthen its module R&D and manufacturing capabilities and advance scalable energy solutions for space exploration and commercial space applications.

Space PV remains at an early stage of exploration and validation, and large-scale commercialization remains highly uncertain. JA currently has no orders related to space PV, and the program has no material impact on its current operating performance.
