Romania has some of the most restrictive requirements in Europe for grid connection of electricity storage batteries, due to the need to impose tougher restrictions to protect the grid, said Daniela Firica, PV/ESS Project Solution Manager at Huawei Romania, at the conference “Stepping stones for the BESS technologies development”, organised by Energynomics.
“In Romania we have some of the most restrictive requirements in Europe in terms of grid connection, but not in a bad way, but because the grid has forced us to impose certain restrictions and tougher requirements,” Firica said. She previously worked at Transelectrica, where she was directly involved in drawing up grid connection requirements.
Huawei offers a complete solution for battery energy storage, considered optimal by the company, which includes all essential components: the battery container, ACDC conversion equipment (PCS), medium-voltage grid connection transformer, and battery management system (BMS). Huawei is also developing its own Power Plant Controller, designed to integrate all these components into a single project-level control solution.
A key issue for the company is equipment safety. Huawei’s new 4.5 MW battery has been certified by TÜV at the highest safety level, reflecting the company’s commitment to advanced protection standards. Also on the PCS side, certification and verification with stringent system connection requirements are prioritised to ensure proper and efficient operation of storage projects.
To support investors, Huawei provides technical support in both the pre-sales and after-sales phases. A team of over 100 technical engineers in Bucharest is available 24/7 to service the equipment. The company also uses string-based PCSs instead of centralised solutions to facilitate operation and maintenance, thus reducing service costs.
Pe partea de integrare software, Huawei este compatibil cu numeroase sisteme de Energy Management System (EMS) de la terțe părți, datorită protocolului său de comunicație deschis. Totodată, compania dezvoltă propriul sistem de control Power Plant Controller, menit să gestioneze eficient integrarea bateriilor, PCS-ului și transformatorului într-un EMS unic.
For projects in Europe, Huawei has implemented a data protection system by localising servers in the European Union, in particular in the Czech Republic, thus ensuring compliance with European regulations on cyber security and data protection. In this way, the company avoids transferring data outside Europe, a major concern in the current context of cybersecurity and geopolitical uncertainties.
