Acceleration of Wind and Solar Power as Preeminent Energy Sources through United Sector Plan for Grid Forming Across All Situations
Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power, recently emphasized the importance of grid forming technologies in the renewable energy industry at the International Digital Energy Expo (IDEE) 2025. The event, co-hosted by China Energy Research Society, Global Solar Council (GSC), and Huawei Digital Power, brought together industry leaders from various sectors to discuss the development status and future prospects of the renewable energy industry.
At the forum, themed "All-Scenario Grid Forming Technology, Accelerating Wind and Solar Power as Main Energy Sources," Hou Jinlong highlighted the role of energy storage, grid forming technologies, AI technologies, and high-quality products in the transition toward renewable energy. He reiterated the importance of adhering to technological innovation and the principle of quality first for the sustainable development of the renewable energy industry.
The all-scenario grid forming technology was the main focus of the forum, with practical applications worldwide and a profound impact on the renewable energy industry being discussed. Hou Jinlong stated that energy storage will integrate deeply with wind and solar power, transforming them into stable and reliable energy sources.
The discussion at the forum expanded to include the importance of high-quality development for the renewable energy industry. High quality throughout the product lifecycle is considered the cornerstone for sustainable and healthy development of the renewable energy industry, as per Hou Jinlong. Global applications of grid forming technologies were highlighted as a significant factor in the development of the renewable energy industry.
Collaboration between industry peers was emphasized as a means to improve industry standards and close the global energy divide. Hou Jinlong reaffirmed the goal of delivering green, stable, and affordable power to all as a key objective in the development of the renewable energy industry. The all-scenario grid forming initiative was jointly proposed at the forum, aiming to close the global energy divide, deliver clean and stable power, and build a greener future.
The role of Grid Operators and Standards in empowering a new power system was underscored during the forum. AI was identified as a crucial component in the transition toward renewable energy, with AI transitioning from an auxiliary system into the production system, making renewable energy plants truly autonomous, according to Hou Jinlong.
In conclusion, the forum provided a platform for industry leaders to exchange ideas and discuss the future of the renewable energy industry. With a focus on all-scenario grid forming technology, the event emphasized the need for high-quality development, collaboration, and the integration of AI and energy storage to ensure a sustainable and healthy growth in the renewable energy sector.
