Huawei and SchneiTec Commission World’s First TÜV SÜD-Certified Grid-Forming Energy Storage Project
SHANGHAI, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei Digital Power, in partnership with SchneiTec, has successfully launched Cambodia’s inaugural TÜV SÜD-certified grid-forming energy storage project. This achievement is a significant step in the country’s journey towards a sustainable energy future. SchneiTec, a prominent energy solutions provider in the region, previously developed Cambodia’s largest solar power plant.
The newly completed energy storage project boasts a capacity of 12MWh, which includes a 2MWh testbed designed to validate Huawei’s Smart String Grid-Forming ESS technology. The system has proven its remarkable ability to stabilize the grid in both off-grid and weak-grid scenarios, enabling the smooth integration of intermittent renewable energy sources.
This project has earned authoritative certification from TÜV SÜD, making it Cambodia’s first grid-forming energy storage system (ESS) deployment. It lays a solid foundation for future capacity expansion and large-scale energy infrastructure development. The testing was conducted collaboratively by TÜV SÜD, SchneiTec, and Huawei Digital Power. TÜV SÜD, known globally for its strict standards in energy technology testing and certification, has verified the essential technical capabilities of Huawei’s Smart String Grid-Forming ESS, including inertia response, high/low voltage ride-through, frequency support, and overload performance.
Key Testing Highlights: This independent verification of Huawei’s grid-forming ESS technology represents the first overseas on-site validation of the system, adhering to international standards such as IEC, China National Standards, the UK Grid Code, and Germany’s VDE standards. The TÜV SÜD certification confirms that Huawei’s grid-forming ESS technology meets internationally recognized benchmarks for energy management and grid stability.
This milestone signifies not just a major accomplishment for Huawei Digital Power’s technological development but also a pivotal moment in the energy sector’s innovative evolution. The successful collaboration between Huawei Digital Power and SchneiTec marks a substantial advancement in Cambodia’s renewable energy transition. As the nation’s renewable energy roadmap progresses, Huawei Digital Power is committed to continuing its innovation efforts, delivering stable, scalable, and reliable solutions to meet the rising demand for sustainable electricity and supporting the enhancement of its energy infrastructure.
