Staff Reporter: Huawei has recently introduced an advanced energy storage system to make it easier to store and supply electricity generated by solar power plants. Ni Xiaopeng (Liam), Managing Director of Huawei South Asia Digital Power Business, unveiled this new ESS system to the Bangladesh market at the 'Huawei Digital Power Partner Summit 2025' held at the Huawei Bangladesh Academy in Dhaka.
Huawei Bangladesh shared the details in a media press release today 21 May (Wednesday).
In order to meet the growing demand for electricity in Bangladesh, emphasis has been placed on solar power. In this context, many solar power projects are being implemented in Bangladesh at both government and private levels. However, in this case, the solar projects lack electricity storage technology. To address this issue, Huawei has introduced the intelligent LUNA2000-215 energy storage system.
This highly efficient Huawei N+1 generation Liquid/Air Intelligent Cooling Energy Storage System (ESS) is designed and built for high efficiency and reliability, with the capacity of operating in both on-grid and off-grid modes. In case of outages, it seamlessly switches to off-grid mode to ensure uninterrupted power for critical operations. During on-grid operation, the backup power SOC can be set to reserve power for off-grid emergency power supply.
The system delivers a 91.3% round-trip efficiency, enabled by efficient regulation and advanced hybrid cooling algorithms. Its Pack-Level Optimization 2.0 improves system efficiency and achieves real-time active balancing without charge and discharge restrictions. This overcomes the short-board effect and increases the usable energy by 2% in the lifecycle.
The product was unveiled at the event in the presence of Huawei's industry partners. They discussed opportunities for exchange of views and strategic cooperation. Over 100 Huawei partner representatives from various EPC companies joined the event. Huawei's top executives spoke at the event. Speakers included Wu Ji (Jason), President of Huawei South Asia and CEO of Huawei Bangladesh, Ni Xiaopeng (Liam), Managing Director of Huawei South Asia Digital Power Business, and Ren Jianyu（Jamison, Director of Huawei South Asia Digital Power Partner Business.
Ni Xiaopeng said, “Our new energy storage system has been launched to enhance the efficiency and reliability of solar power plants in Bangladesh. As a result, it will be possible to generate more renewable energy at a lower cost. Through the ‘Huawei Digital Power Partner Summit 2025,’ we aim to create a collaborative platform that will accelerate the adoption of renewable energy in Bangladesh.”
Md. Rashedul Karim, Country Head, Kingsun Bangladesh, an EPC partner of Huawei, was present at the event. He said, “Huawei’s new energy storage system will bring a significant change to Bangladesh’s solar power sector. It will not only enhance the efficiency and energy utilization capacity of solar power plants but also help EPC companies like us provide added value to our clients. With the support of smart and reliable technology, we will be able to implement projects more efficiently while ensuring reliable, sustainable, and modern energy in the country.”
The Bangladesh government has set a clear roadmap for renewable energy generation. Huawei is one of Bangladesh's long-term partners in this sector. Since 2021, Huawei has been working on various projects in the renewable energy sector in the country. These include a 100 MW project in Mymensingh and the country's first and largest microgrid in Monpura Upazila of Bhola, with a capacity of 22 MW. In 2023 alone, Huawei successfully implemented more than 72 solar rooftop projects in various private institutions. In 2024, the company launched 5 new digital power products in Bangladesh. The new energy storage system is Huawei's second ESS solution to be brought to Bangladesh.
