Munich, GermanyJune 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, during Intersolar Europe 2026, Huawei grandly held the 2026 Smart PV Strategy & New Product Launch under the theme “Green Power Driving Force for a Smart World.” Facing the acceleration of global energy transition and the challenges of building new power systems, Huawei Smart PV focused on key areas such as grid-forming, AI, and PV-storage integration, discussing the future direction of the new energy industry with customers, partners, and industry organizations from around the world.
2026 Smart PV Strategy & New Product Launch Event
In a new power system dominated by new energy, the value of energy storage will be reshaped, and grid-forming energy storage will become ubiquitous, supporting the stable operation of the new power system. Based on this, Huawei announced the official upgrade of its energy storage solution brand from LUNA to LUTERRA, and grandly launched the new-generation smart string grid-forming energy storage platform. Through five innovations, including the industry-first 1000Vac smart string architecture, through-type bus architecture, and plant-level grid-forming technology, it supports 1000V AC voltage and the industry’s optimal sub-array of 12.5MW/50MWh, delivering better investment, higher returns, plant-level grid-forming capabilities, and Cell-to-Grid (C2G) safety assurance for customers, driving the construction of new power systems with innovation as the engine.
Huawei New-Generation Smart String Grid-Forming Energy Storage Platform LUTERRA
Focusing on Grid-Forming and AI Technologies to Create Scenario-Based Solutions, Accelerating New Energy as the Main Power Source
As new energy, represented by wind and solar, gradually becomes the main power source, power systems face increasingly severe challenges: on one hand, the complexity of dispatching greatly increases, weakening grid resilience; on the other hand, the declining share of traditional synchronous generators leads to insufficient system strength. To address these challenges, Europe is increasing grid investments, expanding grid-forming energy storage deployment, revising grid codes to include grid-forming requirements, and promoting a market shift from energy arbitrage to diversified ancillary services.
Against this backdrop, Zhou Tao, President of Huawei Digital Power Smart PV Product Line, delivered a keynote speech titled “Grid-Forming and Intelligence Dual-Driven, Empowering the Accelerated Evolution of New Energy,” stating: “In the future, PV and energy storage products must transition from passive power supply to assets capable of grid support. Future-oriented flexibility, grid-forming capabilities, and intelligence will be crucial. Huawei has long been deeply engaged in power electronics and digital technologies. Through continuous innovation, we have built industry-leading core capabilities in grid-forming, AI, and full lifecycle safety and reliability. These capabilities will fully empower our full-scenario smart PV and storage solutions, creating greater value for customers while significantly enhancing grid stability with high-penetration new energy integration, thereby accelerating the implementation of new power systems dominated by new energy.”

New-Generation Smart String Grid-Forming Energy Storage Platform LUTERRA, Setting Industry Benchmarks with 5 Major Innovations
Zheng Yue, President of Huawei Digital Power Grid-Forming Energy Storage Domain, delivered a keynote speech titled “Continuous Innovation to Create Higher Returns for Customers” and grandly launched the new-generation smart string grid-forming energy storage platform LUTERRA. Zheng Yue stated: “The large-scale application of grid-forming technology is opening up new value space for the energy storage industry. Leveraging over a decade of energy storage technology accumulation and global PV-storage station mature practices, Huawei’s new-generation smart string grid-forming energy storage platform LUTERRA achieves a paradigm shift in maximum energy density from a single cabinet to the entire sub-array, focusing on four core values: better investment, higher returns, plant-level grid-forming, and C2G safety, providing customers with an excellent energy storage choice for new power systems.“
With five major innovations in power electronics technology and innovative architecture, LUTERRA sets new industry benchmarks:
- Industry-first 1000Vac smart string architecture, improving battery consistency; utilizing Huawei’s latest 1000Vac SiC modules, significantly enhancing conversion efficiency.
- Industry-first through-type bus architecture, simplifying energy storage installation, expansion, and wiring, thereby accelerating delivery speed and significantly saving land area.
- Industry-first intelligent distributed heat dissipation technology, increasing the heat dissipation area by 100%, thereby reducing rotational speed and lowering fan noise levels by approximately 40%.
- Leading plant-level grid-forming technology, enabling synchronous grid-forming of tens of millions of devices, adapting to changes in grid strength.
- Relying on a unique digital twin platform, based on leading digital technology (Bit) and AI technology, it provides more accurate predictions of state of energy and state of power (SOE/SOP), offering precise digital support for power trading and significantly enhancing lifecycle returns.
Huawei’s new-generation smart string grid-forming energy storage platform LUTERRA empowers the new future of energy transition with four core value anchors:
- Better Investment: Delivering high returns through rapid delivery and lower costs. Taking a 1GWh energy storage station as an example, from construction to grid connection, delivery time can be shortened by approximately 30%; system auxiliary facility costs (BOP), including land rent, cables, construction fees, and labor costs, can be reduced by over 20%.
- Higher Returns: Continuously improving round-trip efficiency (RTE), availability, consistency, and SOC accuracy to achieve higher discharge capacity throughout the lifecycle, thereby creating higher returns. Taking a 12.5MW/50MWh energy storage station as an example, assuming a 20-year lifecycle, peak-valley arbitrage at an electricity price of 11 cents per kWh, cycling once daily throughout the year, compared to traditional solutions, Huawei LUTERRA can increase the customer’s full lifecycle discharge capacity by over 10%, thereby generating an additional revenue of 5.48 cents/Wh.
- Plant-Level Grid-Forming: Six plant-level grid-forming capabilities, including short-circuit capacity support, wide-frequency oscillation damping, inertia response, primary frequency regulation, black start, and grid-connected/off-grid switching, can unlock higher return potential.
- C2G Safety: Huawei Smart PV pioneered the full lifecycle safety quantitative assessment system for electrochemical energy storage systems and the energy storage system safety risk map (RMAP). Under this system, by focusing on hazard severity and hazard occurrence probability, the safety risks of energy storage products are assessed at levels A, B, and C, where Level A is unacceptable, Level B is risk mitigated, and Level C indicates overall controllable risk. Huawei’s C2G safety technology enables its grid-forming energy storage system to achieve Level C safety standards, meaning RMAP risk is less than one in a million.
