KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia<\/span>, July 10, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Sungrow, the globally leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, successfully completed full-condition grid-forming (GFM) tests at the Santong 100 MW\/400 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Malaysia, demonstrating how advanced grid-forming technology can enhance grid resilience and support renewable energy integration in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

Unlike conventional grid-following systems that rely on external voltage and frequency references, grid-forming technology enables energy storage systems to actively support grid stability through functions such as black start, islanded operation, virtual inertia, and voltage-frequency regulation.<\/p>\n

At the Santong project, Sungrow completed four core dimensions of grid-forming (GFM) capability, including plant-level black start, seamless on-grid\/off-grid switching, large-capacity transformer switching, and active grid support during grid-connected operation. The project represents a landmark grid-forming energy storage applications connected to Malaysia’s national grid, providing a practical reference for renewable-heavy power systems across Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

Moving beyond traditional single-cabinet or limited-function tests, the project conducted full plant-level closed-loop validation across multiple operating conditions. It verified the grid-forming system’s end-to-end capabilities, from active voltage build-up to grid-connected support.<\/p>\n
