How can Huawei help the power industry to build a green and intelligent world?
2022-05-10
In the post epidemic era, the "double carbon" trend has gradually become the mainstream, and the digital transformation of the industry has become more urgent and complex than ever before. In the face of changes not seen in a century, maintaining the resilience of the country's economic development requires our generation to be more active in empowering, injecting wisdom and doing all kinds of things.
On the road of digital transformation, different countries, industries and enterprises face different challenges due to different stages, resulting in different understandings, and then different strategies and tactics.
On April 26, 2022, the 19th Huawei global analyst conference opened in Shenzhen. Hu houkun, the rotating chairman of Huawei, delivered a keynote speech on "continuous innovation and building a green and intelligent world". Hu houkun said: "the digitization, intelligent development and low-carbon development of human society are opportunities that we cannot miss. Huawei hopes to unite the forces of the whole industry and society to work together to create a beautiful green and intelligent world."
Huawei firmly believes that ICT can help all walks of life significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, and digital technology is the enabler of low-carbon development.
Focusing on the power industry, Huawei comprehensively increased its strategic investment in the power industry and established Huawei's power digitization Corps on March 30.
Serve customers efficiently and seize the anchor point of value creation
Building a new power system is the key to energy transformation, zero carbon transformation and digital transformation. It is not only an important basis for realizing energy economy, but also a key means to ensure energy security and continuity.
Sun Fuyou, CEO of Huawei power digitization corps, pointed out that in the energy industry, especially in the power field, the core demands in digitization and digital transformation can be summarized in 16 words of "safety and reliability, efficiency and efficiency, green and low-carbon, agile innovation".
In view of the general demands of the digital transformation of the power industry and power enterprises, the purpose of Huawei's legionnaization reform is to shorten the connection between customer needs and solutions, product development and maintenance, quickly open up a simple transmission process, reduce misleading and loss in the transmission, and make its "customer-centered" values truly fall into place in creating value for customers, and will always be unswervingly implemented.
In order to further subdivide specific industries, the power digitization Corps improves two efficiency through one vertical and one horizontal. Shorten the management chain vertically, so that R & D can more directly understand the needs of customers in the industry and match the most appropriate technology; Horizontally and rapidly integrate resources, unite more solution partners, and provide customers with scenario based solutions more efficiently.
Digital transformation is a work with a starting point and no end point. Today, our imagination of the future is conservative. Although it can be imagined infinitely, in the process of practice, the person at the helm of the enterprise must grasp the key points of the industry trend.
Sun Fuyou summed up five key points. First, digital transformation is the anchor of value creation, more software and services. Second, the main responsibility for the success of digital transformation is the pursuit of enterprises and customers. Third, power enterprises generally need to strengthen the skills for digital transformation. Fourth, power enterprises need to establish a systematic thinking around industrial digitization and long-term investment in digital digitization. Fifth, it must have a corresponding methodological support.
Sun Fuyou believes that the digital transformation of power enterprises is at the right time.
Give full play to the advantages of multi technology integration and solve scene problems
The key advantage of Huawei is to deeply integrate its best innovative ICT technology with its accumulated experience in digital transformation of the industry for many years.
Based on the power industry, Huawei hopes to lay a digital road through digital transformation, support the efficient coordination of source network load and storage, realize the multidimensional integration of electric energy flow, carbon emission flow, information flow and value flow, and promote the clean, efficient and sustainable development of the whole society.
Sun Fuyou pointed out: "with an entrepreneurial mentality, the power digitization Corps takes root in Huawei's big platform, focuses on the power industry and digital technology, practices the 'platform + ecology' strategy, works hard, and is determined to inject new digital power into the power industry and contribute power elements to the development of the digital industry."
It is reported that focusing on the key challenges in the digital field of the power industry, Huawei power digital Corps will integrate the technology and R & D resources of Huawei's large platform, such as the strong R & D guarantee and forward-looking force of Hisilicon and 2012 laboratory, and work with ecological partners to provide products, solutions and services including chip, terminal, cloud, ICT infrastructure and architecture design.
At the same time, Huawei also put forward the concept of "taking spark architecture as the traction, focusing on the scene and creating new value". Spark architecture is an open and evolvable reference architecture, which ensures the consistency of business management and operation and maintenance services through data collaboration, application collaboration, intelligent collaboration and operation and maintenance collaboration.
The needs of customers are unlimited. Only by focusing can we focus on key business scenarios, focus can be deepened, deepened, deepened, strengthened and expanded.
Therefore, the focus of Huawei power digitalization Corps this year will focus on the "1 + 3 + 1" focus scheme, directly hit the pain points of power enterprises, go deep into business scenarios and help them solve specific problems.
According to Xia Wenbo, vice president and chief digital transformation officer of Huawei power digital corps, making a product basic plate refers to selling boxes in the traditional sense. Deep and thorough three scenarios, namely smart power plant, smart inspection of transmission line and digital substation. Exploring a new space refers to zero carbon Park and comprehensive energy services, seizing the golden window of "double carbon" and entering the "zero carbon" value highland.
Successful industry practice is the best evidence
Fortunately, although Huawei's power digitization Corps has just been established, based on the continuous deep cultivation of the industry business department, the accurate grasp of customers' pain points and needs, years of industry digital transformation experience and multi product and technical capabilities, Huawei has gone deep into customers' business scenarios, served customers, based on customers' needs and scenarios, and responded and served customers quickly.
Taking the power grid company as an example, the overall requirement for the digital transformation of its operation inspection business is to speed up the intelligent improvement and digital transformation of the power grid, and accelerate the construction of new digital infrastructure.
In 2021, the State Grid put forward the concept of digital converter station for the first time. Under its unified deployment, Huawei worked with its partners to create a digital converter station solution, which put wisdom wings on Yinan station, the first UHV converter station in Shandong Province. The scheme is based on the new generation industrial Internet of things architecture of "cloud management side end" of the State Grid, and constructs a standardized, computerized and integrated integration platform on the side to realize the timely response and processing of business in the converter station; Conduct business aggregation in the cloud, centralize business on the cloud, and realize online software upgrading, rapid business deployment and enabling management decisions.
Through the technical architecture of "data is available, application is available, algorithm is easy to upgrade and operation and maintenance integration", it has realized from "station deployment" to "cloud deployment", "manual identification" to "intelligent identification", "routine maintenance" and then to "condition based maintenance", which has laid a solid foundation for the continuous improvement of operation efficiency and the prosperity of business application ecology.
In addition, Huawei helps the State Grid Heze distributed photovoltaic to connect to the grid safely and reliably, and the regulation system is aware of the whole network. There are 35000 distributed photovoltaic stations (households) in this network, accounting for 35.07% of the total installed capacity of new energy in Heze Power Grid. Through Huawei Technology, its consumption capacity has been greatly improved, and the distributed power generation is observable, measurable, adjustable and controllable; Through intelligent regulation of load forecasting, real-time prediction of source, load and side, and second level regulation, the risk of overload of distributed photovoltaic to power grid station area is effectively avoided; Shorten the opening 10 hours to 1 hour, and improve the efficiency by 10 times; Compared with the optical fiber dedicated line, the construction cost is reduced by more than 80%.
In recent years, the rapid economic development has produced a large number of growing transmission lines, but also brought heavy power operation and maintenance tasks. In this regard, Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau and Huawei have made in-depth exploration and practice, using innovative technologies to reduce the inspection workload by 80%, improve the inspection efficiency by 80%, reduce the number of unplanned power outages by 90%, and achieve 100% video inspection coverage. The patrol inspection personnel compared and summarized the current and past working methods as "in the past, two people and three kettles in a car, now sitting facing and asking questions, hanging arch and flat chapter".
Not long ago, Huawei also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid (hereinafter referred to as "Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau"). The two sides deepened strategic cooperation in five important aspects: digital transformation, smart grid, new power system, power communication network and joint innovation, so as to jointly promote digital transformation and energy industry upgrading and promote the coordinated development of the two sides. Take Jiangsu Yancheng micro carbon Huineng science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park as an example. Jiangsu is the engine of China's economy, with great pressure on total carbon emissions. Yancheng power supply company implements the national and provincial dual carbon strategy and builds a near zero carbon demonstration park. Yancheng power supply company jointly promotes the construction of Yancheng micro carbon Huineng science and innovation industrial park by cooperating with Huawei and relying on 5g, AI, network and other innovative technologies, and jointly creates three scenarios of smart energy management, smart zero carbon management and smart park management, so as to realize the functions of real-time monitoring of energy equipment, panoramic management of carbon emission, smart and convenient traffic management and smart coordinated control of microgrid, so as to help Yancheng micro carbon Huineng science and Innovation Industrial Park achieve zero carbon The three transformations of energy and digitization will save about 3 million kwh of electric energy every year. At present, the selection results of the 2022 World Summit on the information society (WSIS prizes) have been announced. Yancheng micro carbon Huineng science and Innovation Industrial Park, as a successful practice of Huawei's smart zero carbon Park scheme, has won the Champion Award of the environment group.
Work together to win the digital future of power industry
So, how can Huawei power digital Corps face this vertical field, empower ecology, help ecological partners provide value-added services for the industry and provide ecological power at the same time?
Huawei selects professional partners in the industry for in-depth cooperation.
It is reported that the power digitization Corps will rely on the ICT infrastructure technology advantages of Huawei's end management cloud collaboration, adhere to the "platform + ecology" strategy, cooperate with capacity-based partners, help the deep integration of digital technology and the power industry, realize the continuous iterative development of architecture, platform, application and operation, and build a symbiotic, CO creative and shared digital ecology.
Standing in front of the green and intelligent world is not only an opportunity for Huawei, but also an opportunity for China to become independent in science and technology, as well as an opportunity for many science and technology enterprises.
Sun Fuyou emphasized: "We always have passion and awe for the industry, never forget our original intention, clarify our ability scope and business boundary, and achieve business success with industry partners in the process of helping customers solve problems and create value. There is still a lot of room for development in the power industry. We will always adhere to the principles of openness and cooperation, risk sharing and benefit sharing, and walk with ecological partners to inject new digital power and support into the power industry Build a new digital engine. "
ICT infrastructure is one of the main channels of Huawei's strategy. The Corps goes deep into the industry and focuses on the scene, which can better grasp and understand the pain points and needs of customers. The cooperation with ecological partners will deepen with the deepening of both sides in subdivided fields, so that they can cooperate and serve customers more efficiently.
Facing the future, Huawei will continue to increase investment in partners, deepen the expansion and operation of partners, build the cornerstone of long-term survival and high-speed development, and help the power industry develop safely, reliably, green, efficiently and rapidly.
