He emphasized that technological revolution has made this transformation possible, and the deep integration of solar PV and energy storage will be the key to building a more resilient and sustainable power system.

Wang Xiongfei, IEEE Fellow and Xinghua Chair Professor of Tsinghua University, analyzed the new challenges posed by GW level artificial intelligence data centers (AIDC) in his speech. He pointed out that future data centers should not only be large power consumers, but also become friendly loads that can sense the grid status, proactively support the grid and possess a certain level of fault ride-through capability. He proposed a chip-to-grid collaborative design concept, emphasizing that key technologies such as grid-forming energy storage, optimization of UPS control, and Coordinated workload shaping can be used to enable friendly interaction between data centers and power grids, ensuring the stable operation of future computing infrastructure.

Patrick Clerens, Secretary-General of Energy Storage Europe, delivered a keynote speech titled “European Energy Storage Markets: Market Mechanisms and the Development of GFM Services.” He introduced the evolution of the energy storage market mechanism in the EU, driven by security of supply needs and the reform of electricity market design. He pointed out that as the share of renewable energy continues to rise, the system inertia decreases, making grid-forming capability a rigid demand. He elaborated on Europe’s market-oriented exploration in grid-forming services such as synthetic inertia and fast frequency support. He also noted that countries like Germany have started to auction grid-forming capability, opening up new business models and valuable opportunities for energy storage.

Dr. Liu Yunfeng, Chief Scientist of Huawei Digital Power, delivered a speech titled “Grid Forming + AI: Powering the Energy Internet’s Silicon Evolution.” In his speech, he said that power systems are transitioning from “electromagnetic-mechanical systems” to “silicon-based programmable systems,” and the stability of systems is shifting from a “natural attribute” to a “designed capability.” He introduced Huawei’s end-to-end verification system in the grid-forming technology field and emphasized that AI is not an optional feature for the Internet of Energy, but rather an essential capability for complex systems to achieve autonomy. Huawei’s FusionSolar Agent, with its four-layer AI architecture comprising computing foundation, electric power models, intelligent equipment, and agents, redefines the intelligent management of power plants throughout their lifecycle, advancing the comprehensive intelligence of solar PV, wind, and energy storage systems.

Practice Leads the Way: From Standard Certification to Large-Scale Verification of the World’s Largest PV+ESS Project

Pouya Mostashar, Research Associate of Fraunhofer IWES, shared the results of Europe’s first megawatt-level grid forming test, which was conducted in collaboration with Huawei. The test strictly followed the world’s first comprehensive grid-forming test guideline released by VDE FNN in Germany. The test results showed that the energy storage systems performed excellently in key scenarios such as inertia response, overload capacity, and islanded operation. He noted that this test not only proved the excellent applicability of grid-forming technology in battery energy storage systems, but also laid a solid foundation for the standard certification and commercial trading of grid-forming capability.

Antonio M. Abuel Jr., Chief Project Officer of Terra Solar Philippines Inc., introduced the world’s largest project integrating solar PV and energy storage. The MTerra Solar Grid-Forming PV+ESS project includes a 3.5 GW PV system and a 4.5 GWh grid-forming energy storage system.

BEIJING, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — China opened the Pinglu Canal on Wednesday, giving its landlocked southwest a shortcut to the coast and overseas markets, particularly those in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the country’s largest trading partner.

Built at a cost of 72.7 billion yuan (about 10.75 billion U.S. dollars), the 134.2-kilometer canal runs from Nanning, capital of south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, to the Beibu Gulf, the closest maritime outlet for much of southwest China.

The canal stretches along the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, a strategic trade route connecting China’s inland regions with ASEAN and other global markets. It is the first river-to-sea canal project planned and coordinated at the national level since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.

Designed for vessels of up to 5,000 tonnes, the canal shortens the inland waterway journey for goods from southwest China to the sea by more than 560 kilometers compared with traditional routes through ports in Guangdong Province. It is expected to reduce overall logistics costs by 18 to 30 percent and save more than 5 billion yuan in transportation costs each year.

Lu Xinning, vice chairperson of the regional government of Guangxi, said the canal creates a new link between China’s market of 1.4 billion people and ASEAN’s nearly 700 million consumers. Its impact, Lu said, could extend beyond the movement of goods, spurring new cross-border investment and deepening regional supply-chain integration.

The canal took over four years to build. Most of it was created by widening, deepening and straightening existing waterways, while a small section had to be excavated through dry land and mountainous terrain.

One of the biggest engineering challenges was a 65-meter difference in water level, roughly the height of a 20-plus-story building. Three navigation hubs, all featuring twin-line ship locks, were built to raise and lower vessels along the canal.

Environmental protection was another priority during construction. More than 98 percent of the roughly 315 million cubic meters of earth and rock excavated during construction was reused. The canal also includes a fish passage more than 480 meters long and a dedicated wildlife crossing for land animals including leopard cats and squirrels.

HEFEI, China, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sungrow, a globally leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, recently has achieved a world first by controllably reproducing and successfully suppressing wideband oscillation at a real-world 500 MW solar-plus-storage plant in Qinghai, China. The field test marks a major step toward addressing one of the long-standing challenges facing renewable power systems as renewable penetration continues to increase worldwide.

As renewable penetration rises worldwide, wideband oscillation has become a major challenge, with severe cases potentially causing renewable plants to disconnect from the grid or shut down. In 2014, the BorWin1 offshore HVDC project in Germany experienced oscillations at 250–350 Hz, which damaged filter capacitors on the offshore converter platform and led to a shutdown lasting approximately six months, causing substantial economic losses to the local utility. In 2019, the Hornsea offshore wind farm in the UK experienced widespread disconnection due to subsynchronous oscillation, resulting in a loss of approximately 3.2% of the system load and affecting around one million users. Past incidents have demonstrated the significant impact of oscillation-related events.

However, the complex and unpredictable nature of the phenomenon has made it difficult to safely and controllably reproduce oscillations at real-world plants and validate effective suppression methods in the field. As a result, research has largely remained at the theoretical and simulation stage, with limited systematic validation in actual power plant environments.

To bridge this gap, Sungrow and its industry partners conducted a field test at the plant, using Sungrow PV inverters deployed across the site.

Controlled Reproduction of Wideband Oscillation

The test established weak-grid conditions and identified three key contributing factors—power output, system short-circuit ratio (SCR), and control parameters—before successfully achieving controlled reproduction of a localized system oscillation.

Rapid Suppression of Wideband Oscillation

The field test evaluated the oscillation suppression performance of Sungrow’s PV inverters under different grid conditions. Leveraging Sungrow’s patented grid-strength adaptation technology, the inverters identified grid strength within 40 milliseconds, adjusted their control strategies accordingly, and rapidly stabilized voltage and frequency.

The test also validated the effectiveness of grid-forming control in suppressing wideband oscillation. Sungrow’s grid-forming control strategy enables stable operation across a wide SCR range of 1~40 and effectively mitigates transient overvoltage.

By successfully reproducing and suppressing wideband oscillation at a real-world 500MW plant, the field test marks a critical step in moving wideband oscillation suppression from the laboratory into engineering practice, with the potential to improve the stability of renewable energy plants under extremely weak grid conditions, prevent grid disconnections caused by oscillations, unlock greater power export capacity for plants connected to weak grids, and reduce generation losses.

“For renewable energy to become a truly stable and reliable source of power, it is essential to develop autonomous fault self-healing and grid-support capabilities.” Pan Nian’an, Chief Engineer and Chief Expert for Utility PV BU at Sungrow, said Sungrow will continue to advance research and development in grid technologies, focusing on key innovations including wideband oscillation suppression, grid-forming control, and multi-energy coordination. These efforts aim to support the stable grid integration and efficient utilization of renewable energy while strengthening the technical foundation for a secure and stable energy transition and next-generation power systems.
