Munich, Germany, June 23–25 – As Europe continues to accelerate its energy transition, the industry's focus is increasingly shifting beyond renewable generation capacity toward grid resilience, system flexibility, and infrastructure modernization. At Intersolar Europe 2026, CHINT showcased a range of technologies and solutions designed to address these emerging challenges, highlighting its commitment to supporting the development of a more sustainable, resilient, and electrified energy system.
This transition is driving a fundamental shift in how modern power systems are designed and operated. As renewable penetration deepens and electrification accelerates, utilities and developers are prioritizing grid stability, regulatory compliance, and system efficiency. These developments are accelerating demand for more advanced grid solutions including grid-forming capabilities, SF6-free technologies, and higher-efficiency electrical architectures.
Market Trends Driving CHINT's Innovations
Utility-Scale PV & Wind Farms
- SF6-Free MV Switchgear – Zero greenhouse gas performance at 24kV, fully compliant with EU F-gas regulations.
- MV Prefabricated Substation – Plug-and-play modular substation, reducing on-site installation time by up to 60%.
Utility-Scale Storage
- Cascading Storage (2H/4H System) – Direct grid connection up to 35kV with no main transformer, independent per-phase control and grid-forming technology, delivering >90% efficiency with lower spare part costs.
- Centralized Storage (10MW PCS) – Fully integrated inverter and power conversion system for large-scale, utility-grade storage. Scalable to hundreds of megawatts with proven reliability.
Residential to C&I PV Components & Solutions
- Residential – Reliable protection and control of AC and DC side of PV plant. Flexible coupling options for new or retrofit homes, with backup power and EV charging readiness.
- C&I – Dedicated 800VAC PV distribution platform, reducing project-by-project engineering uncertainty for high-power solar applications.
Executive Perspective
“In Europe, power infrastructure is not developing at the same pace as AI demand, with grid congestion and connection delays becoming key constraints,” said Beibei Zheng, Vice President of CHINT Global. “As a result, customers are increasingly looking for partners that can deliver integrated, reliable, and future-ready power solutions rather than standalone products. At CHINT, we see this transformation as an opportunity to drive innovation and create value for our customers. Leveraging our full-stack power value chain, we deliver integrated solutions that enable more reliable, efficient, and sustainable power and AI infrastructure across Europe. From next-generation technologies such as solid-state transformers and solid-state circuit breakers to cascading storage solutions, our focus is not only on delivering innovative products, but also on enabling customers to build resilient and future-ready infrastructure for the AI era.”
Outlook
As electrification, renewable integration, and AI-driven infrastructure continue to reshape Europe's energy landscape, demand for grid modernization, energy storage systems, and intelligent power technologies is expected to accelerate. The coming years will be defined by the industry's ability to enhance system flexibility, resilience, and operational efficiency while meeting increasingly complex energy demands.
CHINT remains committed to working closely with utilities, developers, EPCs, and technology partners across Europe to support this transformation, while continuing to invest in innovation that helps build more resilient, efficient, and future-ready energy systems.
