BEIJING, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC has been deepening its layout in the Argentine market with a flurry of strategic moves. On one hand, GAC made its debut at the prestigious local TC2000 Championship as both the official sponsor and the safety car provider, with its EMZOOM model serving as the official safety car of the tournament, fully demonstrating the outstanding performance and brand appeal of Chinese automobiles on the track. On the other hand, following the successful sponsorship of the Buenos Aires Premier Padel P1 in the first quarter, which garnered excellent market response, GAC secured the sponsorship rights for the tournament again in the second quarter. Taking these two major sports events as a link, GAC is deeply integrating into Argentina's local sports culture, injecting strong impetus into its in-depth development in Argentina and its radiation across the Latin American market.
During the tournament, the EMZOOM took on the role of the official safety car for the TC2000 Championship, leading the way on the track throughout the event and appearing frequently in on-site and official broadcast footage, achieving high-efficiency brand exposure. Beyond core track presence, GAC has built a multi-dimensional communication matrix: brand logos are displayed across all areas around the track to strengthen on-site visual penetration; brand voiceovers and on-screen integrations are featured in the official broadcast of the tournament, reaching a wide audience on television and digital platforms; offline face-to-face interactions are held with racing enthusiasts to deepen brand perception; and tournament content is released simultaneously on various social platforms to expand communication boundaries, achieving synergistic online and offline efforts.
In the future, as GAC continues to deepen its presence in the Argentine market, such initiatives of deep integration into local core cultural scenarios will be further promoted. This will help shape a positive image of Chinese auto brands in the South American market, support GAC's steady development here, and gradually make it an important participant and promoter in the South American market, writing a brand-new chapter for the internationalization of Chinese automobiles with new practices in sports marketing.

GAC and EMZOOM Spotlight: Powering Argentina's Padel Tournament

HEFEI, China, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the globally leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, successfully completed the world's first large-scale grid-forming full-scenario validation. The program covered 14 scenarios over 138 hours and was independently witnessed and verified by TÜV Rheinland. All results met multiple international standards, confirming reliable operation under complex grid conditions.
As global power systems rapidly transition toward high shares of renewable energy, grid stability is becoming a critical challenge. The test base features a world-leading 30MW grid simulation platform, along with the real short-circuit capacity regulation equipment and advanced arc-fault testing devices, enabling the replication of complex and extreme grid conditions at full scale. These tests align with grid codes and requirements across major global markets, including Europe, Australia, and China, addressing growing challenges related to grid stability and high renewable penetration worldwide.
Validated Performance Across Main Critical Grid Scenarios
- Short-Circuit Performance: Reliable Fault Support
A short-circuit test was conducted using real arc-fault equipment to simulate the most severe fault conditions. Under identical fault scenarios, the grid-forming system remained connected and continuously supplied fault current, while conventional systems are more likely to disconnect.
Key advantages：
Response time as fast as 10 ms
Stable and continuous fault current contribution
Strong fault ride-through capability
- Inertial Response: Stronger Frequency Stability
Compared with conventional grid-following systems, which may lose stability under the same disturbance, Sungrow's solution maintained continuous operation and restored frequency stability within milliseconds.
Key advantages：
Millisecond-level response to frequency deviations
Stable operation under sudden disturbances
Improved system resilience in weak grids
- Black Start: Rapid System Recovery
In a full blackout test, all external power was disconnected from the site. During this test, Sungrow's grid-forming PCS (Power Conversion System) established system voltage within 19 seconds, then successfully restarted the entire facility, restoring loads and infrastructure without external support. This capability enables industry-leading GW-scale black start and significantly enhances system restoration speed.
Key advantages：
Faster restoration
GW-scale black-start capability
virtually no circulation current
In addition to the three tests mentioned above, another eleven tests including on/off-grid switching, load switching, and oscillation damping were also successfully completed.
As demand for grid-forming technologies continues to grow, validating their real-world performance is becoming increasingly important. Reliance solely on digital power system simulations is not sufficient, while live testing provides more reliable and real validation. "Based on two decades of experience on grid-forming technology and in-depth understanding of power system stability requirements, Sungrow has built a 30 MW large-scale simulation platform and conducted 14 comprehensive real-world extreme test scenarios," said Henry Liu, General Manager of the Microgrid and Grid Solutions Center at Sungrow. "These results demonstrate grid-forming capabilities and mark a critical step toward the large-scale deployment of grid-forming technologies."
Sungrow will continue to advance the development of evaluation frameworks and industry standards, supporting broader adoption and enabling more stable, resilient power systems worldwide.
