SINGAPORE, May 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Themed "Green Energy, Green Future", Huawei APAC Digital Power Green Energy Summit 2022 was held in Singapore on May 19. The Forum brought together policymakers, industry experts, and sustainability practitioners from across the region to discuss the green development trends, and explore how we can collectively leverage opportunities in the fast-changing technology and regulatory landscape to drive the energy transition.
The Asia Pacific region boasts substantial potential for renewable energy development driven by ambitious carbon neutrality goals, abundant untapped renewable energy sources, and strong economic growth prospects. "The renewable energy share of power capacity in 2020 has increased to 33.5%, which is a 1.5% gap from the 2025 target with hydro and solar power plants becoming the largest contribution to green energy generation," said Dr. Nuki Agya Utama, the Executive Director of ASEAN Center for Energy (ACE).
Huawei Digital Power, tasked with improving the energy efficiency of digital infrastructure, and increasing the share of renewables in electricity generation, is keen to join hands with regional partners and customers to meet the growing demand for clean energy and ICT sustainability.
"Global climate change is one of the greatest challenges we faced today, and green energy has become the global consensus and the best way to cope with this challenge. But in order to achieve carbon neutrality, power production needs to be low-carbonized and power consumption needs to be electrified with the help of advanced digital technologies." Said Sun Bohan, President of Huawei Digital Power APAC.
All-Scenario Smart PV and Energy Storage Solutions
At the forum, Huawei presented the audience with the latest All-Scenario Smart PV and Energy Storage solutions for utility-scale PV plants, energy storage systems, commercial and industrial applications, residential uses, and smart micro-grids. The roll-out will help accelerate the adoption of solar power as a primary energy source and enable industries and households to benefit from green electricity.
Embrace a Low-carbon APAC
Huawei is now teaming up with several customers in this region to advance the growth and adoption of solar energy, contributing to a low-carbon APAC. For example, Huawei's string inverters were installed on Sunseap Group's floating solar farm. With 13,312 solar panels, 40 inverters, and more than 30,000 floats, it's estimated to produce up to 6,022,500 kWh of energy per year, supplying enough power for 1250 four-room public housing flats on the island and offsetting an estimated 4258 tons of carbon dioxide.
Digitalization drives development and decarbonization ensures that this development is sustainable. These are the two drivers of green development in the region. "Digitalization is helping improve safety, accessibility, and sustainability of energy system subjected to security and privacy. Digitalization will have a massive impact on the energy sector through Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the future. The energy sector, in return, can use these digital tools to improve operations and transformation of potential digitalization to create a highly inter-connected energy system," said H.E. Dr. Ty Norin, Secretary of State Ministry of Mines and Energy of Cambodia.
In the panel discussion, guest speakers shared their insights on the latest trends in renewable energy and BESS markets. They believed that solar power will grow faster in the region because the clean power will be more cost-effective and easy to deploy, and BESS will play an integral part in the energy mix.
Committed to offering best-in-class products and services, Huawei will create more value for customers by further strengthening its leading technologies in green energy generation and storage, helping build a sustainable, low-carbon future for the Asia Pacific region.
