According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Electricity power accounts for 40% of carbon emissions. And transportation accounts for 21% of carbon emissions.

To achieve carbon neutrality, 3 key steps should be done:

• Green power generation;
• Electrification of power consumption;
• Digitalisation and intelligence

In the past 30 years since Huawei established, continuous investment and innovation has made Huawei become a technical leader in digital technologies such as 5G, cloud, and AI, as well as in power electronics technologies such as materials, next-generation components, topology optimisation, and thermal management.

Huawei provides all-scenario low-carbon energy solutions, covering the whole energy flow from green power generation to efficient power consumption. For green power generation, Huawei provides a smart PV solution which can enable each ray of sunlight to generate more electricity. Huawei Data Center Power solution can enable each watt to generate more computing power. And Huawei low-carbon site power can adapt for operator networks in different scenarios, allowing each watt to carry more bits. Huawei also has an electric vehicle power solution which can enable electric vehicles with Huawei’s advanced power systems, battery systems, and charging facilities, to make electric vehicles drive more miles with each KWH. In addition, Huawei will continue to work with our partners to provide integrated smart energy solutions for different scenarios such as low-carbon campuses and buildings. And on top of that, there is an energy cloud built as a platform for the energy Internet ecosystem, to serve global customers and partners, as well as improve energy efficiency.

Smart PV: enabling PV to be main power, to enter various industries and households

By 2050, the renewable energy power will increase from today’s 25% to 80%. The growth will be mainly attributed to PV. Huawei PV solution is dedicated to accelerating the development of PV for all scenarios. For example: 

• In large-scale power plants, Huawei PV solutions can reduce LCOE (Levelized Cost Of Energy) by 7% and improve O&M efficiency by 50%.
• In commercial & industrial scenarios, Huawei PV solution can help users achieve higher power generation and better power storage. Huawei can also provide smooth migration to low-carbon for users by its innovative technologies like proactive safety protection and intelligent O&M.
• In the residential scenario, Huawei PV solution can be installed flexibly on any rooftops in different directions, and can increase the power generation by up to 30% with intelligent optimisation.
• In addition, today, more than 800 million people in the world are still living in areas with no power supply or unstable power supply. Diesel generators are widely used in such areas which bring low-efficient power generation, high carbon emissions and high fuel costs. According to this challenge, Huawei has launched an off-grid integrated energy solution to replace diesel generators with PV, which can reduce power generation costs by more than 50%, achieving zero carbon emissions.

Data center facility: Prefabricated, modular, smart, Build a low-carbon digital foundation

In the Data Center Facility, Huawei is targeting to build a simplified, green, intelligent, and secure next-generation data center through technology innovations in prefabrication, modularization, and intelligence.

• For large data centers, Huawei prefabricated modular data centers can shorten the construction period from more than 20 months to 6 months, and enable us to design data centers as a whole. Meanwhile, Huawei can reduce PUE from 1.45 to 1.2 with intelligent functions like AI Power saving. Furthermore, faster delivery and lower PUE can reduce the overall TCO and IRR by more than 2%.
• For small and medium data centers, Huawei smart micro-module solution is adaptable to different scenarios like different equipment rooms or different load-bearing capacities. Data centers can be delivered within 4 days and PUE can be reduced down to 1.13.

Site power: Reduce OPEX of networks and help operators achieve carbon neutrality

Today, 5G has been deployed widely. In most scenarios, operators need to deploy 5G equipment to the existing sites, which brings challenges such as high power consumption and insufficient space. Huawei site power solution can simplify the site through replacing equipment rooms with cabinets, replacing cabinets with poles, and help operators achieve zero additional Energy OPEX when adding 5G.

• Huawei green site solution can enable operators to achieve one site one cabinet, replace rooms with cabinets, and improve site energy efficiency up to 90%, and greatly saving OPEX such as rents and electricity costs.
• If further replace cabinets with poles, the site power efficiency can be further improved up to 97%, as well as additional benefits like AC-free, zero footprint, quick deployment within one hour. In addition, Huawei cloud lithium solution can change energy storage from isolated dumb components to cloud intelligent energy storage systems, helping operators achieve ultimate site safety and reduce TCO by 20%.
• In areas with no grid or poor grid, the solar hybrid power solution can replace the diesel generator with PV and storage. It will reduce the power cost by more than 50% and achieve low-carbon environment protection.

Integrated Smart Energy: Building low-carbon building & campus through ecosystems

Today, more and more governments and enterprises begin to build low-carbon cities and parks.

Huawei integrated smart energy solutions can integrate different power solutions and technologies to achieve best power efficiency for the whole city.

Furthermore, the smart energy cloud can collect all data of the whole energy flow from power generation, to power delivery, distribution, and consumption. Based on big data, we can further improve energy efficiency and help achieve low-carbon cities.

Smart Energy Cloud: Energy internet & intelligent energy data management platform

Huawei Smart Energy Cloud, which is actually an energy Internet platform as well as an intelligent energy data platform, bringing us the intelligent O&M system and prosperous Eco-system.

• FusionSolar, the smart PV management system in the cloud, can bring functions such as intelligent IV diagnosis, visualized safety and improve O&M efficiency.
• iCooling can make self-optimisation and reduce the PUE of data centers by 8% to 15%.
• In addition, the smart energy cloud can provide openness to our partners for secondary development, in order to meet customised scenarios and requirements.

Today, Huawei digital Power has served more than 170 countries and regions, covering one third of the world’s population.

Co-create a greener better future

Targeting carbon neutrality and clean energy, the vision of Huawei Digital Power is to digitise traditional energy and develop green energy, integrate digital technologies and power electronics technologies together, to provide simplified, green, smart, and secure solutions for clean power generation, green ICT infrastructure, transportation electrification, and integrated smart energy. By June 30, 2021, Huawei Digital power has helped customers generate 403.4 billion kWh of green electricity and save 12.4 billion kWh of electricity, which is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by more than 200 million tons and planting 270 million trees. 

Huawei will keep openness and work closely with our customers and partners to build a zero-carbon intelligent society. DM
