Jason Wu, President of Huawei South Asia Region and CEO of Huawei Bangladesh; He Lei, President of Asia-Pacific Commercial, Industrial and Residential Business at Huawei Digital Power; Will Yu, Managing Director of Huawei South Asia Digital Power; and Md Shahriar Ahmed Chowdhury, Director of the Centre for Energy Research at United International University, jointly introduced the LUNA2000-241KWH-2S1 energy storage system.
Jason Wu stated that Bangladesh is at a pivotal stage of its solar energy transition, with increasing focus on power efficiency, sustainability, and a green ecosystem.
"We are proud to support Bangladesh's energy sector in producing over 430 million kWh of electricity through our digital power solutions. Our technology has helped reduce more than 200,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. For several years, Huawei has served the sector with advanced solutions, and we will continue to do so," he added.
Will Yu stated that Huawei's photovoltaic and energy storage solutions are gaining momentum in Bangladesh.
"We remain committed to delivering the latest technology. We have introduced a more advanced energy storage system. The new battery uses a cell-to-consumption dual-link safety architecture for enhanced protection. It achieves 91.3% round-trip efficiency through advanced hybrid cooling," he said.
He underscored that the solution will be pivotal in strengthening energy security and advancing industrial capacity in Bangladesh.
Huawei stated that the new system features a pack optimiser. It enables 100% depth of discharge for maximum capacity utilisation. Its active balancing module maintains a higher state of health by addressing capacity constraints. The smart operation and maintenance feature automatically calibrates the system's state of charge.
The event also featured discussions on the future of sustainable industrial power in Bangladesh.
Md Shahriar Ahmed Chowdhury spoke on "Powering Bangladesh's renewable energy future: Challenge, trend and innovation." He Lei discussed the impact of Middle East tensions on opportunities and challenges for Asia-Pacific commercial and industrial photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems.
Huawei officials and representatives from partner organisations also presented several customer case studies.
