At the opening of the forum, Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board of Huawei, President of Huawei Digital Power, remarked: “Looking ahead, energy storage will grow rapidly and integrate deeply with wind and solar power, transforming them into stable and reliable energy sources. In this transition, the most critical areas of innovation include grid forming technologies, AI technologies, and high-quality products that deliver performance throughout the lifecycle. The all-scenario grid forming technology will accelerate wind, solar, and energy storage as the main power sources. AI will transition from the auxiliary system into the production system, making wind, solar, and energy storage plants truly autonomous. High quality throughout the product lifecycle is the cornerstone for sustainable and healthy development of the renewable energy industry. Huawei Digital Power will adhere to technological innovation and the principle of quality first, and work with peers across the industry to improve the industry standards and close the global energy divide, delivering green, stable, and affordable power to all.”
