On October 30, at the Huawei Better World Summit 2020 conference, Huawei Digital Power President Zhou Taoyuan pointed out the basic necessary conditions for the application of digital technology in developing solar power systems in nation.

A competitive market will turn solar PV investments into commercial investments

Discuss with Young Intellectuals about how Vietnam can combine AI technology and solar power, increase the scale of solar power, bring solar power from traditional electricity price to master energy force, Mr. Zhou Taoyuan emphasized that there are two decisive factors to this.

President of Huawei Digital Power said that currently solar power in Vietnam is developing rapidly and strongly. However, if Vietnam wants to continue to accelerate this process, Vietnam needs to focus on two important factors: the government’s policies and the needs of the economy.

Currently, the cost of solar power generation in China is much lower than thermal power plants. We have entered a period when solar power is competing very well with traditional electricity prices. As the market is competitive. The competition will not need subsidies from the Government, because at that time, investment in solar power will be a form of commercial investment. From there, it will become a driving force for economic development of a country “, Mr. Zhou Taoyuan confirmed.

According to him, in order to ensure sustainable development, it is necessary to combine digital technology with electricity technology, thereby lowering costs, in the long run, there will be no need for grants. Previously, in 2014, Huawei turned the chain inverter solution into the mainstream solution, digitizing the entire power plant, the inverter into the sensor of the photovoltaic array, the main data collection. to each chain, has basically reached perceptual technology.

Solar power storage system is required

Thanks to the 2014 solution, Huawei’s power generation capacity is now 35% higher than its original capacity, lowering the cost of solar power. By 2018, Huawei also launched a new innovative solution that increases efficiency by 3-5% in the same solar cell area compared to solutions of many other businesses in the industry.

President Zhou Taoyuan said that continuous innovative solutions will help reduce the cost of solar power generation, thereby ensuring that solar power will gradually become the main source of energy instead of is an additional source of energy today.

Besides costs, he said other important technologies such as energy storage technology should be considered. Explaining this, he pointed out that solar power generation depends on the number of sunny hours in a day, the nature of solar power is not a stable source of electricity. Therefore, it is necessary to have a storage system so that excess solar power will be saved to the grid, from which it can be sold to businesses and individuals in need, or can be connected to the national grid.

Finally, President of Electricity Zhou Taoyuan concluded that, if the above issues of cost and storage of electricity are solved, in the future, we can turn solar power into a master energy source. force instead of just additional energy source as present.
