December 8, 2025 — Trina Storage, a global leader in integrated energy storage solutions, today announced the launch of its all-scenario grid-forming energy storage solution, developed to support the stability and flexibility of modern power systems as renewable penetration continues to rise worldwide. The solution was unveiled by Mr. YU Hong, Head of the Advanced Power Electronics Institute, during the Energy Storage Industry Innovation Alliance Summit, where he outlined its technical framework and deployment potential across global markets.

With renewable energy expected to exceed 43% of global electricity generation by 2030 (IEA), power systems are encountering challenges such as declining inertia, frequency instability, and voltage fluctuations. In this context, grid-forming energy storage has emerged as a critical tool to enhance system stability and enable deeper clean energy integration.

Leveraging the company’s comprehensive R&D capabilities, Trina Storage has introduced its all-scenario Cell-to-AC grid-forming energy storage solution. The solution comprises Trina Storage’s self-developed product portfolio — a flexible DC battery cabin, an integrated MV skid, and a unified system-level management platform — which together enable advanced grid-forming control.

The system can operate as a voltage source, providing synthetic inertia, frequency and voltage support, and wide-SCR compatibility. It also supports 1.5x instantaneous overload, coordinated AGC/AVC control, seamless transitions between grid-forming and grid-following modes, and full-station black-start restoration in under three minutes, enhancing resilience across diverse grid conditions.

Trina Storage has established an advanced digital simulation and validation platform for grid-forming applications, supported by a 35 kV station, EMS testing platform, large-scale drive-in environmental chambers, and RTDS-based real-time simulation. Built on these capabilities, the company has already implemented large-scale grid-forming projects worldwide. In Latin America, Trina Storage partnered with Atlas on a 233 MW/932 MWh project in Chile, where grid-forming controls will be deployed in line with Chile’s upcoming regulations aimed at enhancing system robustness towards increasing renewable energy penetration. In Australia, the company delivered a 250 MW/500 MWh project in South Australia, successfully completing PSS/E and PSCAD modeling and obtained the AEMO GPS 5.3.4 standard letter, establishing one of the region’s benchmark grid-forming cases.

Trina Storage is also extending grid-forming capabilities to multiple application scenarios, including hybrid renewable systems, microgrids, and AI data centers (AIDC). For AIDC applications, the company has developed a “multi-energy supply + long-duration storage + intelligent dispatch” model designed to improve system availability, support fluctuating loads, and optimize operational performance across the project lifecycle.

“As power systems integrate more renewables, the industry needs storage solutions that do more than follow the grid—they must help shape it,” said Mr. YU Hong. “Our grid-forming solution is designed to strengthen system resilience under diverse grid conditions and support the next stage of global energy transformation.”

As the global energy transition accelerates, Trina Storage will continue advancing energy storage technologies and collaborating with international partners to strengthen power system stability and support the development of zero-carbon energy ecosystems.
