Electric Power Industry Needs Urgent Transformation, Huawei's New ICT Empowers Smart Grids
Electric power companies around the world are looking to improve quality and
efficiency by deploying data centers and reconstructing management
platforms
SHENZHEN, China, July 13, 2020/ -- Today
marked the Seventh Huawei Global Power Summit themed "Bits Drive Watts,
Building a Fully Connected Smart Grid". Held online, the summit invited
global customers, partners, industry experts, and thought leaders in the electric power industry to discuss the impact and response to this
year's pandemic, and political and economic uncertainties. The electric
power market continues to represent huge potential while the industry
need to build reliable, cost-effective, efficient, and green power grids with a more efficient and reasonable energy supply.
Seize the Opportunity to Transform the Electric Power Industry
Electric power companies around the world are looking to improve quality and efficiency by deploying data centers and reconstructing management
platforms. They aim to provide more reliable, efficient, and green
energy while ensuring grid security, and offer more value-added services through the energy Internet to drive social development. However,
conventional operational models and technologies fail to support this
transformation. As such, the global electric power industry needs to
consider how to adapt to new trends; how can grids detect security
issues in real time and respond quickly; how can we make better use of
clean energy and reduce carbon emissions? How can energy networks match
the rapidly expanding charging pile network and achieve efficient
management?
To change agents, challenges mean opportunities. "Huawei helps customers cope with these industry challenges and seize future opportunities
through digital transformation," said David Sun, Vice President of
Huawei Enterprise BG and President of the Global Energy Business Unit.
Huawei seamlessly integrates 5G, IoT, optical, IP, cloud, big data, and
AI technologies into power systems. Together with partners, Huawei has
launched smart service solutions, such as AI-powered grid inspection and distribution IoT, covering power generation, transmission,
transformation, distribution, and consumption. These enable
comprehensive sensing, interconnection, and service intelligence of
various power terminals.
Mr. Sun also noted that "Huawei looks forward to sharing the digital
transformation experience of China's electric power and other industries with more customers, drive watts with bits, and build smart grids to
help global electric power companies accelerate development."
New ICT Empowers Smart Grids
An increasing number of electric power companies identify their digital
transformation strategies as their priority. At the summit, Huawei and
industry leaders illustrated the importance of 5G, AI, big data, and
cloud computing for this process.
For example, China Southern Power Grid (CSG) finds that power
distribution networks and users require power grid communication that
features wide connectivity, high bandwidth, low latency, high
reliability, and fast deployment. These features ensure intelligent
power distribution and metering, and facilitate the development of smart home and Internet of Vehicles (IoV). In response, Huawei's advanced 5G
slicing technology enables end-to-end communication of smart grids,
ensuring secure and reliable power distribution networks as well as
improved efficiency.
CSG has summarized 53 typical service scenarios covering power
generation, transmission, distribution, transformation, consumption, and integrated services, according to Yang Junquan, Deputy General Manager
of CSG Power Dispatch and Control Center. He also expects more 5G
applications to emerge in the near future.
HUAWEI CLOUD and data platform provide mass data storage and computing
capabilities. Together, they integrate data assets from multiple systems of a power grid company into one platform. Through high-speed data
processing and sharing, the platform helps complete various challenging
tasks.
For example, Qinghai Province in China aims to achieve 100% green energy consumption and supply in the long term. Together with Huawei, the
province has leveraged cloud computing to construct a new energy data
center powered by AI and big data capabilities. Now, the provincial
electric power company can predict the renewable energy yield simply
based on the weather forecast. With multi-energy compensation, the total power output to access the grid will be more stable. By implementing
these high-tech strategies, in 2019, Qinghai maintained 100% green
energy generation for 15 consecutive days. In this case, clean energy
consumption has been supported through digital and smart means.
New ICT can also improve the O&M efficiency of electric power
companies. The State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) worked with Huawei to build a digital platform, IoT platform, and cloud, which reduces the time it takes to collect and store data from four hours to 30 minutes
for its Henan branch.
Huawei embeds AI modules into cameras and drones, enabling the O&M
team to remotely monitor power transmission lines and detect faults.
Thanks to this, the Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau reduced its grid
inspection time from 20 days to 2 hours and the time to capture images
from hours to minutes. It has also achieved over 90% image analysis
accuracy.
Huawei will centrally deploy and remotely manage millions of EVs and
charging piles through the cloud, improve charging efficiency and
battery lifespan management through AI-powered data analysis, and
increase management efficiency using 5G high-speed networks.
Providing digital services by leveraging abundant fiber and site
resources and innovative ICT solutions has become one of the major
digital transformation trends for global electric power companies.
Huawei has worked with over 190 electric power companies worldwide,
including 10 of the industry's top 20, to implement digital
transformation. Huawei's solutions are widely used by electric power
companies such as the Saudi Electricity Company, Turkish Electricity
Transmission Corporation, Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand,
SGCC, and CSG .For more information about Huawei Global Power Summit,
