Huawei Launches the latest Grid-Forming Strategy for Future Power Systems at The Smarter E 2026
Huawei has unveiled a new grid-forming strategy at The Smarter E 2026 convention in Munich to support Europe's transition to high renewable energy penetration. The company aims to evolve PV and battery storage systems into primary power sources capable of providing grid stability functions like black start and inertia support.
Why it matters
As Europe targets 64% renewable energy by 2030, grid-forming technology is critical to replacing traditional thermal power plants and maintaining grid resilience.
MUNICH , July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In his speech at the industry convention in Munich, President of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power, Steven Zhou, said the company's strategic focus on grid-forming, integrated solutions that reinforce grid stability to support high renewable penetration in Europe.
In Europe, the penetration of wind and solar is expected to reach 64% by 2030. At the same time, the power system is facing challenges – such as reduced grid resilience and weakened system strength – due to high dispatching complexity and the declining share of traditional synchronous generators.
