Huawei Launches New Platform at MWC Barcelona 2025

At the recent Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Huawei unveiled a groundbreaking collaborative platform designed to support the IEEE P2413.2 Power Distribution IoT (PDIoT) architecture standards. This announcement was made during the Huawei Electric Power Summit, themed "Thrive with Digital, Accelerate Electric Power Intelligence". The event gathered industry experts and international standardization leaders to share insights and successful practices that focus on promoting digital transformation within the energy sector.

A Call for Digital Transformation

David Sun, the CEO of the Huawei Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit and Vice President of Huawei, addressed the conference, shedding light on various challenges that electric power systems contend with, including traditional line losses and reliability issues. He emphasized the global challenges that have emerged in this new era of energy, reinforcing the critical importance of innovation.

Sun pointed out that advancements in cloud and edge computing, mid-voltage power communication, and High-Power Line Communications (HPLC) technology are effectively addressing many of the issues faced by low-voltage distribution networks. For instance, the improvement in reliability from the international port district's electric power center in Xi'an has been remarkable, reaching up to 99.9% reliability in low-voltage communications after fully implementing Huawei’s HPLC technology. Proactively, the national electric network's staff can now reach over 97% of users within three minutes of a power outage, significantly reducing passive fault tickets for single-family homes with low voltage by nearly 50%.

Moreover, the ability to calculate line losses is now achievable in just 15 minutes. Another notable success highlighted was a project in Shaanxi, where a company effectively integrated distributed photovoltaics and coordinated charging for public charging stations, effectively doubling their capacity along with implementing other valuable applications.

The Keys to Successful Innovation

Sun also outlined essential elements underpinning successful innovation, including:

• - Developing an adaptable, systematic architecture for digital transformation.
• - Innovating AI-driven functionalities in operational models.
• - Fostering inter-sector collaboration through ecosystem innovation.
• - Applying AI innovations to optimize energy production, particularly in forecasting new energy demand and ensuring sustainable autonomy in transformation districts.

Huawei places great emphasis on key business scenarios within the electrical energy sector along with integrating digital productivity. By forging strategic collaborations within the industry ecosystem, Huawei aims to foster sustainable growth and intelligent advancements in the sector.

The summit also featured notable speakers who shared their successful experiences working alongside Huawei. Bilel Jamoussi, Deputy Director of ITU TSB; Roque Bacani, First Vice President and Director of ICT and Transformation at Meralco; and Juan Ortiz Noval, Director of Operations and Network Maintenance at E-Distribución Redes Digitales, presented their insights into successful practices in digital transformation.

Oleg Logvinov, chair of the IEEE P2413.2, P1901.1, and P1901.3 working groups and CEO of IoTecha, unveiled the architecture behind the IEEE P2413.2 PDIoT standards and the strategic initiatives of the working group. He also showcased the collaborative platform created with Huawei for these architectural standards.

Future Directions

Looking forward, Huawei is committed to honing digital technology and AI, continuously refining its digital transformation processes based on gained experiences. The company aims to collaborate with clients and partners to promote intelligent and digital transformation within the energy sector.
