In partnership with Green Fusion, the technology company presented a modular solution at the Polo Industrial Ezeiza capable of reducing operational costs by 60% and ensuring production continuity in the face of power supply outages with energy storage.
Huawei has reaffirmed its commitment to the energy transition in the Southern Cone by introducing its latest innovation to the local market: the Huawei LUNA2000-215 kWh series. This industrial energy storage system, officially launched at the Polo Industrial Ezeiza alongside its strategic partner Green Fusion, aims to transform the consumption matrix of the productive sector, offering a key tool for electric cooperatives, businesses, and factories that require autonomy and efficiency.
The implementation of this premium system aims to reinforce the leadership of the Chinese company in sustainable solutions. According to the data presented during the event, the technology allows for the replacement of up to 95% of traditional energy with renewable sources, projecting an economic saving of around 60% for intensive users. The main objective is to optimize demand, improve the quality of electric power, and shield industries from service interruptions.
A success story in Ezeiza: Self-sufficiency and electric mobility
The presentation took place at the facilities of Unimers Argentina S.A., a firm that has become the first case study of this technology. The project integrates a complete ecosystem that includes SUN2000 150 MG0 inverters with active safety and a network of solar panels arranged both on the factory’s roof and in the parking lots (car-ports).
This infrastructure not only supplies the plant but also powers chargers for electric vehicles, aligning with global mobility trends. The incorporation of the LUNA2000-215 kWh battery fulfills three critical functions in this scheme:
-
Intelligent load management: It accumulates solar energy generated during the day to use at night or during blackouts.
-
Cost efficiency: It allows for the reduction of contracted power with the distributor, thus avoiding economic penalties for exceeding consumption limits.
-
Operational sustainability: It replaces traditional gas or diesel generators, maximizing ecological efficiency.
Technical specifications and modular design
The LUNA2000 series stands out in the market for its cutting-edge architecture. Each unit offers a usable capacity of 215 kWh and a power of 108 kW, operating with a conversion efficiency of 91.3%. One of its main innovations is the hybrid cooling system (which combines air and liquid), which manages to reduce the energy consumption of the cooling system itself by 30%.
Designed for high demand scenarios, the equipment is highly scalable: it allows for the parallel connection of up to 20 units, enabling a total capacity of 4 MWh, ideal for large shopping centers or industrial complexes. Additionally, safety is guaranteed through an active protection system and C2C Thermal Link, protecting both physical assets and personnel.
Optimization and extended lifespan
The internal design of the equipment prioritizes long-term performance. Each battery pack integrates a 2.0 energy optimizer with bidirectional balance topology. This technology actively balances the load in real-time, eliminating the “short-board effect” (bottleneck) and increasing the usable energy by 2% during the product’s lifecycle, without restrictions on charging or discharging.
In terms of maintenance, the system uses a three-phase PCS with four wires that dispenses with an isolation transformer. The company assures that it does not require refrigerant replacement for 10 years, which positively impacts operating and maintenance (O&M) costs.
A commitment to local competitiveness
Ignacio Dapena, Digital Energy Director for Huawei in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, emphasized the strategic relevance of this launch for the local economy. “Argentina has great potential for the adoption of renewable energies in the industry, and with this system, we respond to this need for efficiency,” stated the executive.
Dapena stressed that the installation at the Polo Industrial Ezeiza is not an experiment but a concrete solution for modernization: “It is the first industrial-commercial battery of 215 kWh that can store solar energy surpluses and allows for self-sufficiency by saving energy, leaving behind old systems and providing operational continuity.” For the executive, this milestone marks the path for companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and avoid the additional costs generated by demand peaks.
