Huawei Digital Power has launched its FusionSolar 9.0 Smart PV Solution in Dubai, positioning the new technology to address grid stability challenges as renewable energy capacity expands across the Middle East and Central Asia.
The regional launch took place during the FusionSolar Technical Innovation Summit on July 15, bringing together policymakers, utilities, developers, EPCs, consultants and industry experts to discuss the next phase of renewable energy and the growing need for resilient electricity grids.
Summit focuses on renewable energy transition
The summit featured discussions on renewable energy trends and grid integration across the region.
Aleksi Lumijärvi of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) outlined the growing role of 24/7 renewable energy systems and dispatchable clean power in meeting future electricity demand.
Dr. Abdulla Ismail of RIT University Dubai discussed the UAE’s renewable energy strategy and the challenges of integrating higher volumes of renewable generation into the national grid, while Nofel Dakhel of SJ Group presented Oman’s renewable energy roadmap.
FusionSolar 9.0 targets utility-scale projects
Huawei said FusionSolar 9.0 is designed for utility-scale solar projects and combines string inverter technology, grid-forming capabilities, intelligent digital management and enhanced reliability to improve power system stability and operational efficiency.
The company also presented case studies from regional renewable energy projects. Saleh El Haj Youssef of PowerChina HDEC discussed string inverter applications in ADQ projects, while Antonio Diaz of EDF shared experience from the UAE PV3 project, highlighting plant performance and system design.
