Huawei has launched a grid-forming smart string inverter and an energy storage system for the utility sector, designed to store excess solar energy and release it during peak demand, supporting Bangladesh’s renewable energy targets.
The SUN2000-506KTL-H3, a grid-forming smart string inverter over 500KW, and the LUTERRA-6261-2S/4S Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) were introduced at an event titled “Grid-Forming Technology Powering a Greener Future” in Dhaka on Wednesday, said a press release on Thursday.
Will Yu, Managing Director of Huawei South Asia Digital Power Department; Wang Junfeng, Chief Technology Officer of Huawei Asia Pacific Digital Power Business; and Ma Ben, Managing Director of Huawei South Asia Public Affairs, inaugurated the solutions.
Yu said the integration of solar power with battery storage systems was becoming the cornerstone of the global renewable energy transition.
“Solar generation alone is no longer enough – we need intelligent energy storage and grid-forming technologies to ensure renewable energy is available whenever it is needed,” he said. “At Huawei, we are committed to helping Bangladesh build a smarter, more resilient and sustainable power system through innovative Solar+Storage solutions that maximise renewable energy utilisation.”
The SUN2000-506KTL-H3 delivers higher power density, grid-forming capability, intelligent operation and maintenance, and advanced safety features, enabling developers to reduce balance of system costs and achieve a lower levelized cost of energy.
The LUTERRA-6261-2S BESS offers a high round-trip efficiency of 92.6 per cent, unique pack-level optimisation, cell-to-grid safety architecture, higher state-of-charge accuracy, and rapid grid-forming response.
Masud Rana, Head of Technical at Paramount Group, a Huawei solar inverter user, shared his experience with Paramount’s 100MW solar plant as a case study.
He said Paramount selected Huawei’s inverters because of their high IP66 rating, which was essential for the highly dusty locations of their plants in Lalmonirhat, Pabna, Sirajganj and Moulvibazar. He also cited Huawei’s extremely low inverter failure rate and prompt technical support.
The integrated Solar+Storage solution can store excess solar energy generated during the day and discharge it during peak demand. It also provides advanced grid-forming functions, including ramp-rate control, frequency regulation, voltage regulation and reactive power support. Compared with conventional PV-only installations, the solution significantly enhances plant dispatchability, grid compatibility and renewable energy integration, contributing to a more stable and resilient power system.
Huawei aims to support Bangladesh’s renewable energy ambitions by enabling more efficient solar generation, greater energy storage, improved grid stability and enhanced integration of renewable power.
