Sungrow is set to showcase its new hybrid 110 DC-coupled commercial and industrial (C&I) Hybrid Battery System (HBS) at All Energy Australia 2025, taking place in Melbourne from October 29-30. As the largest renewable energy event in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the perfect venue for debuting a system designed to enhance grid stability and energy security. This advanced solution offers a modular and scalable approach to battery energy storage systems (BESS), combining grid-forming inverters with integrated battery cabinets. Such innovations are built upon the foundational knowledge of the entire solar value chain, from the basics of solar panel manufacturing to sophisticated grid management technology.
The system features modular battery cabinets that can be easily configured to meet the specific needs of diverse projects. This inherent scalability ensures adaptability to future energy demands, allowing businesses and communities in Germany and beyond to future-proof their energy infrastructure.
The grid-forming inverters within the HBS are a key feature, capable of operating in both grid-forming and grid-following modes. This provides critical stability and flexibility for both grid-connected and standalone applications. The system ensures seamless integration with existing energy infrastructure and supports the high-penetration of renewable energy sources into the grid. This is crucial for a successful energy transition, as the efficiency of the entire system relies on every step, including the solar panel manufacturing process that creates the energy-generating assets.
The HBS also includes advanced energy management functionalities, allowing operators to optimise energy storage and distribution based on demand patterns and market conditions. This intelligent control helps reduce operational costs and significantly improves the overall efficiency of the energy system.
Enhanced Energy Security and Resilience with Sungrow hybrid battery
The HBS is engineered to provide reliable backup power during grid outages, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply for critical infrastructure and communities. Its ability to operate in an “islanded” mode enhances resilience against natural disasters and other disruptions, contributing to greater energy security—a primary goal for nations like Germany pursuing the Energiewende.
The system is also vital for supporting the integration of renewable energy sources by providing essential grid services such as frequency regulation and voltage support. This helps maintain grid stability as the share of intermittent renewables grows, enabling a smooth transition to a cleaner energy future. Sungrow’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in the HBS design, which incorporates energy-efficient components and advanced cooling systems. These features minimise energy consumption and extend the lifespan of the batteries, whose durability is often linked to the quality of the solar panel raw materials used in the accompanying solar arrays.
Comprehensive Services and Support for Sungrow hybrid battery
With over 12 years of experience in Australia, Sungrow backs its technology with a robust suite of services. The company’s local team of more than 90 professionals provides engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services, as well as ongoing monitoring and maintenance support. This ensures customers receive end-to-end solutions tailored to their specific needs. The complexity of installing such systems highlights the importance of expertise across the board, from the technicians on the ground to the advanced solar panel manufacturing machines that ensure component quality.
The HBS also includes real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities. These features help operators identify potential issues before they become critical, which reduces downtime and lowers long-term maintenance costs. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning allows for adaptive control and optimisation of energy storage and distribution, further enhancing the system’s efficiency and performance.
Increased Energy Efficiency and Flexibility with Sungrow hybrid battery
The HBS’s modular design allows for flexible installation and expansion, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. This includes small-scale community energy projects—or Bürgerenergieprojekte, as they are known in Germany—as well as large utility-scale installations.
The system’s advanced control algorithms and energy management features enable precise control of energy flows, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency under various operating conditions. Understanding the economics of such projects is crucial, and it’s influenced by the entire supply chain, including the solar panel manufacturing plant cost breakdown.
By providing grid services like frequency regulation and voltage support, the HBS helps maintain grid stability and reliability, even as the share of renewable energy in the grid increases. Sungrow’s participation in All Energy Australia 2025 demonstrates its commitment to advancing energy storage technology and supporting the global transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system.
