Golen Power participated in the 6th CESTE (Shenzhen International Conference on New Energy Storage Technology and Engineering Application), held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. During the event, Chairman Zhang Haibo delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony, while Dr. Xie Lei, Chief Technical Engineer, presented a technical session on grid-forming energy storage system integration, earning strong recognition from industry experts and partners.

Energy Storage: The Cornerstone of the New Power System

At the China High-Quality Development Forum for New Energy Storage, Zhang Haibo shared his perspective on the deep convergence of the global energy transition and digital transformation.

He outlined a clear industrial logic:

“Behind technological advancement lies computing power; behind computing power lies electricity; behind electricity lies renewable energy; behind renewable energy lies energy storage. And behind the safe, stable, and efficient integration of energy storage into the grid lies advanced power equipment represented by grid-forming PCS technologies.”

Zhang emphasized that energy storage has evolved from a supporting component of renewable energy projects into critical infrastructure for ensuring energy security and achieving carbon neutrality goals.

According to Zhang, overseas energy storage markets are entering a new phase characterized by rapid expansion, evolving regulatory frameworks, and increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. Meanwhile, China's energy storage industry is progressing beyond product exports toward the export of technologies, standards, integrated solutions, and ecosystem capabilities.

“Energy storage is no longer merely an accessory to renewable energy. It has become the cornerstone and stabilizer of the new power system, serving as the critical bridge between green energy and the digital world,” Zhang noted.

Grid-Forming Energy Storage Enables Diverse Microgrid Applications

On May 14, Dr. Xie Lei delivered a presentation titled “Key Technologies and Applications of Grid-Forming Energy Storage for Diverse Microgrid Scenarios.”

During the session, he highlighted the core value of grid-forming energy storage technologies in modern microgrids, including:

Active voltage and frequency establishment, enabling self-healing, self-governing, and self-balancing microgrids

Coordinated control of PV, storage, diesel generation, and loads to support diverse energy sources and load profiles

Seamless grid-connected and off-grid switching within ≤20 ms, ensuring uninterrupted power supply for critical loads

Flexible parallel operation strategies for both interconnected and non-interconnected systems, overcoming the capacity limitations of individual units

“Grid-forming energy storage is not simply a technological upgrade—it represents a fundamental leap from passive grid following to active grid support within microgrids,” said Dr. Xie.

From Tibet to Guinea: Proven Global Microgrid Applications

Dr. Xie also shared several representative domestic and international microgrid projects delivered by Golen Power, demonstrating the practical value of grid-forming energy storage technologies across diverse environments:

Tibet, China – Off-grid microgrid project significantly reducing diesel fuel consumption and operating costs

Niger, Africa – Integrated PV-storage-diesel off-grid microgrid providing reliable electricity access in remote regions

Singapore – Weak-grid microgrid solution enhancing power reliability in areas with limited grid stability

Guinea, Africa – Large-scale off-grid microgrid achieving coordinated control of wind, solar, energy storage, and diesel generation

These projects span a wide range of applications, including islands, mining sites, construction projects, remote communities, and EV charging stations, validating Golen Power's system integration capabilities across the entire energy value chain—from generation and storage to consumption.

Advancing Global Collaboration for a Sustainable Energy Future

As the conference concluded, Zhang Haibo emphasized the importance of international cooperation in accelerating the global energy transition.

“The momentum of energy transformation continues to build worldwide, and the trend toward global collaboration is irreversible. Let this conference serve as a bridge for deeper dialogue, stronger consensus, and collective efforts to drive the high-quality development of the energy storage industry.”

Looking ahead, Golen Power will remain focused on the development of grid-forming PCS technologies and advanced microgrid solutions, working closely with global partners to expand international markets, advance technological innovation, contribute to industry standardization, and support the worldwide transition toward a greener, low-carbon energy future.
