October 16 – TÜV Rheinland Greater China, an international independent third-party testing, inspection and certification organization, hosted the “New Energy Industry Advanced Technology Seminar” in Wuxi. The seminar brought together nearly 800 experts, scholars and industry elites, focusing on cutting-edge technologies in photovoltaics, energy storage, EV charging and battery swapping, components, and hydrogen energy. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on innovative paths and future trends for the new energy industry’s development.
Li Weichun, Vice President of Global Power Electronics Products and Vice President of Greater China Solar & Commercial Products at TÜV Rheinland, stated: “Currently, PV technology continues to iterate, energy storage systems are accelerating deployment overseas, EV charging and battery swapping infrastructure is being built at scale, and hydrogen energy applications are becoming more widespread. On the basis of scale advantages, China’s new energy industry is gradually achieving ‘quality leadership.’ However, it also faces challenges such as supply chain price fluctuations, supply-demand adjustments, overseas market compliance, and green trade barriers. Leveraging extensive experience and technical expertise across the entire new energy industry chain, TÜV Rheinland is committed to providing professional and efficient one-stop services to help companies overcome bottlenecks and expand overseas compliantly. Together with our partners, we promote green and sustainable development and contribute to achieving the dual carbon goals.”
White Paper and New Standard Release
At the seminar, Dr. Jason Gao, Chief Technical Expert of TÜV Rheinland Greater China Solar Services, presented the White Paper on Photovoltaic Technology and Quality Development, jointly released by TÜV Rheinland and the Solar Energy Research Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The white paper provides a comprehensive overview of the PV industry’s evolution from its origins to future trends, covering mainstream and cutting-edge technology routes and multi-dimensional application scenarios. It also delves into testing and measurement technologies and quality assurance systems across the entire industry chain, as well as trade barriers and sustainable development challenges, offering guidance for PV companies, investors, and decision-makers to grasp industry trends, identify technological opportunities, and formulate global strategies.
Andy Chen, General Manager of Power Electronics Services of TÜV Rheinland Greater China Solar & Commercial Products, introduced the White Paper on EV Charging and Battery Swapping Full Industry Chain, jointly released by TÜV Rheinland and the China EV Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance. The white paper focuses on advanced technologies such as ultra-high voltage fast charging, liquid-cooled supercharging, vehicle-grid interaction, and standardized battery swapping models. It systematically outlines industry opportunities and challenges, analyzes business model transformations and application scenario expansion paths, and provides references for policy-making and industry collaboration.
Additionally, TÜV Rheinland officially released its self-developed electrolyzer safety standard 2 PfG 3118. This standard will lay a solid foundation for further improving the hydrogen energy industry’s technical system and enhancing industrial safety and standardization levels.
Advanced Technology Sharing and Trend Analysis
TÜV Rheinland experts shared professional insights on key industry topics.
Bowen Dong, General Manager of Power Electronics Services for Solar & Commercial Products at TÜV Rheinland Greater China, presented the “2000V PV Industry Chain Technology Solution,” offering a more efficient, energy-saving, and cost-effective technical path for PV power plant construction, covering technology trends, standard systems, and safety applications.
Wendy Li, Project Manager of PV Plant Services of TÜV Rheinland Greater China, delivered a presentation titled “Industry Traceability and ESG Practices and Future Trends,” analyzing in depth the practical paths and forward-looking considerations for the new energy industry under the ESG framework, providing references for industry implementation.
Dong Huajian, Senior Manager of Industrial Machinery of TÜV Rheinland Greater China, gave a talk titled “Decoding Global Markets to Support Companies Going Overseas,” explaining market access requirements and technical standards for production line exports to popular markets such as the EU, North America, and Brazil, offering systematic and actionable guidance for new energy companies expanding internationally.
Ecosystem Cooperation and Collaborative Development
During a roundtable forum on “Opportunities and Challenges in the New Energy Industry Market,” several corporate leaders discussed opportunities, challenges, and high-quality overseas expansion paths for the new energy industry during its deep adjustment period, focusing on the “PV-storage-hydrogen” trio. Participants agreed that high quality, standardization, and internationalization are the common direction for the next phase of the new energy industry, and that technical support from third-party testing and certification organizations is essential for companies going global.
During the seminar, TÜV Rheinland held several signing ceremonies. TÜV Rheinland reached strategic cooperation agreements with Climate Impact Corporation (CIC), GCL Perovskite, Herio, and TCL Zhonghuan to carry out in-depth collaboration on cutting-edge technology research and product testing and certification in hydrogen energy, PV, and energy storage, jointly promoting the application of advanced technologies.
The following day, the seminar continued with five parallel sessions dedicated to PV, energy storage, EV charging and battery swapping, components, and hydrogen energy and fuel cells. As a global leading technical service provider, TÜV Rheinland has accumulated profound technical expertise and extensive global influence in the new energy field, with services covering various segments across the entire industry chain. In the future, TÜV Rheinland will continue to work with partners to actively explore innovative technology applications and cooperation models, promoting collaborative development across the industry chain.
