Jack Zheng, Managing Director of the Digital Power Business Group at Huawei Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd., shared his vision for driving Thailand's energy transition from green electrons to digital intelligence at the Huawei Digital Power Summit.
He emphasized that Grid-Forming and AI technologies are key drivers in creating a more flexible, stable, and intelligent power system: as renewable energy becomes the main source, these technologies will be essential to building a stable, smart, and resilient electricity grid.
For Thailand's AI era, Huawei Digital Power integrates its '4T' technologies—Bit, Watt, Heat, and Battery. Our 'Grid-Forming Everywhere, AI Everywhere' strategy focuses on strengthening grid stability, improving energy efficiency, and accelerating Thailand's transition to a truly low-carbon, intelligent energy future.
Under the concept of Redefining Life Cycle Optimal LCOE (lowest cost of electricity over the asset’s lifetime), Huawei introduced FusionSolar 9.0 featuring the SUN2000-506KTL model, the world's first smart string inverter with Grid-Forming capability.
Delivering foundational technological advances that cover initial investment savings, higher power output, AI-driven management and maintenance, and grid support, this solution transforms project economics to maximize long-term value throughout a power plant's lifespan.
Powered by four key technological innovations—new IGBT modules with 25% higher voltage tolerance, dual-channel power line communication (PLC), hybrid cooling systems, and proprietary grid support algorithms—FusionSolar 9.0 sets a new standard for utility-scale solar projects by converting engineering breakthroughs into four tangible value areas.
Lower system costs and higher returns: The solution reduces balance of system (BOS) costs by 0.1–0.2 baht per peak watt, cuts commissioning expenses by up to 1 million baht for a 100 MW project, and boosts overall power generation by 1.5%–2%, thereby increasing internal rate of return (IRR) and shortening project payback periods effectively.
Stronger grid support: As the industry's first string inverter with Grid-Forming technology, the solution enhances grid stabilization capabilities and enables efficient renewable energy integration even in weak or remote grid conditions.
Smarter and more efficient O&M: Utilizing AI-based diagnostics and integrated sensing, FusionSolar 9.0 improves fault detection accuracy by over 50%. Additionally, the inverter’s self-cleaning technology significantly lowers long-term operational costs.
Superior safety and reliability: Multi-layer safety mechanisms combined with advanced hybrid cooling that improves heat dissipation efficiency by 30% ensure stable, continuous, and safe plant operations even under challenging environmental conditions.
These measurable benefits make FusionSolar 9.0 a game-changer for utility-scale solar projects, enabling developers to achieve better economic returns, higher reliability, and a grid system ready for future smart grid integration.
With the FusionSolar 9.0 launch, Huawei reaffirms its commitment to driving Thailand’s energy transition through digital power innovation—redefining lifetime value and upgrading solar plants into intelligent assets that support grid stability, while promoting sustainable, low-carbon solutions nationwide.
