Cambodia sets sign: First TÜV South-certified energy storage project started

Kambodscha, Kambodscha - On June 17, 2025, Huawei Digital Power and Schneitec put the world's first TÜV south-certified network-forming energy storage project into operation in Cambodia. This innovative project is a significant progress for the country's sustainable energy future. With a capacity of 12 MWh, including a 2 MWh test field, the Smart String technology from Huawei is validated, which has shown stabilizing properties in network-independent and weak network scenarios, as has been shown in how [ots.at] (https://www.ots.at/presseaus-sung/ots_20250617_ots0186/huawei--und-schnite-welt-tes-tuED-certified-Projekt-Zur-Energies-Energiespicher-in-in operation) reported.

SchneiteC has already developed the country's largest solar power plant. The integration of the energy storage will help Cambodia to better use the advantages of renewable energies and reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. TÜV Süd-certification in particular proves that the technical performance of the Smart String Grid forming ESS from Huawei corresponds to international standards. Among other things, this includes test criteria according to the IEC standards, the China National standards and German VDE requirements.

TÜV South certification and technical details

The most important test results show remarkable skills of the system. This includes an inertia reaction of 3 to 20 seconds, which exceeds the standard requirements. The voltage tolerance of the system ensures operating options at 5 % to 130 % of the nominal network voltage. In addition, the system shows stability under overload conditions of up to 300 % and also enables a black start, i.e. a quick restoration of the network after a total failure.

The validation by TÜV Süd not only emphasizes the technical excellence of the project, but also confirms that the project supports the roadmap for renewable energies in Cambodia. The choice of an experienced and recognized partner for the certification underlines the commitment of both companies for the highest performance standards, as well as tuv.com supported.

perspectives for renewable energies in Cambodia

Huawei Digital Power plans to continue to offer innovative and reliable solutions for the increasing need for sustainable electricity in Cambodia. These approaches are crucial to master the challenges of the energy transition in a growing market. According to Energie-experten.org, modern energy storage systems such as the technology implemented in Cambodia can not only contribute to the stabilization of networks, but also increase the efficiency of renewable energies.

The example from Cambodia could not only serve as a model for other developing countries, but also set global standards for implementing sustainable solutions. In times of change in energy generation, such projects are of central importance to make a greener and more sustainable future.
