Xia Hesheng, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power and President of Huawei Digital Power Strategy & Marketing, opened the event by stating that the new height of the intelligent world is defined by renewable energy in the AI era. He emphasized the need to accelerate renewable energy as main power by making grid-forming (GFM) and AI technologies pervasive across power systems. He also mentioned that ESS safety is not an option-but a necessity, proposing to accelerate the deep integration of quantitative safety assessment with insurance mechanisms to promote the sound development of the industry.
Eric Zhong, Vice President and CMO of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power
Eric Zhong, Vice President and CMO of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power, shared highlighted during his speech that, the evolution of energy storage architecture and the need for next-generation solutions to address the growing demands of renewable energy systems. Future ESS development requires breakthroughs beyond traditional cabinet-based designs, focusing on architecture-level innovation, including 1000Vac smart string architecture, through-busbar design, smart distributed cooling, plant-level grid-forming capabilities, and AI-enabled digital twin technologies. These innovations redefine energy storage performance, efficiency, and scalability, setting the foundation for Huawei’s next-generation Grid-Forming ESS platform, LUTERRA.
Eric emphasized that “Taking advantages of key technology breakthroughs, this platform can deliver four core values for renewable energy projects and customers, featured as Optimal Investment, Higher Returns, Plant-Level Grid Forming, and C2G Safety.”
Industry leaders together launch the new-generation smart string grid forming ESS for APAC
To address the evolving demands of renewable power grids, Huawei APAC Digital Power launched the next-generation LUTERRA Smart String Grid-Forming ESS Platform during the event, bringing industry leaders to witness the milestone moment. This ceremony was joined by Eric Zhong, Vice President and CMO of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power; Xia Hesheng, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power and President of Strategy and Marketing, Huawei Digital Power; Antonio Abuel Jr.,Chief Project Officer ,Terra Solar Philippines Inc.; Star Jingkaojai, Board member of EGAT Technologies Innovation, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand; Ricky Chen, President of Utility Smart PV & ESS Business, Huawei APAC Digital Power; Director Heiddi, Planning and Public Information Service, Energy Regulatory Commission of the Philippines; David Bian, Director of Energy Storage Solution Sales Dept., Huawei Digital Power; and Mr. Zhu Jun, Product Director of Utility Grid-Forming Energy Storage，Huawei Digital Power.
