Huawei's New Collaborative Platform for PDIoT Standards

During the MWC Barcelona 2025, Huawei made a significant announcement at the Huawei Electric Power Summit, unveiling a new cooperative platform aimed at the IEEE P2413.2 Power Distribution IoT (PDIoT) reference architecture standards. This initiative aligns with the event's theme, "Succeeding with Digitalization, Accelerating Electric Power Intelligence."

Addressing Industry Challenges

David Sun, the CEO of Huawei's Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit and Vice President of Huawei, emphasized the various challenges faced by power systems, including conventional line losses and reliability issues. He noted the new global challenges arising from the transition to new energy sources, highlighting the critical need for innovation to overcome these difficulties.

Huawei's innovative solutions, specifically in cloud computing, edge computing, medium-voltage communication, and High-Performance Logic Controllers (HPLC) technology, are designed to solve many low-voltage network challenges effectively. For instance, the power supply center at the Xi'an International Port Zone experienced a remarkable improvement in low-voltage communication reliability to 99.9% following the complete deployment of Huawei's HPLC technology. Now, more than 97% of users affected by power outages receive proactive notifications from State Grid employees within a mere three minutes, leading to a nearly 50% reduction in passive trouble reports in the low-voltage domain.

Completing calculations for line losses has become significantly faster, taking only 15 minutes. Additionally, a company in Shaanxi successfully achieved full integration of decentralized photovoltaic systems, coordinated charging of charging stations, and doubled their capacity while also realizing various other valuable applications.

Innovations Shaping the Future

At the summit, Sun outlined the key elements necessary for successful innovation within this evolving sector. These elements include architectural innovations that promote an open, adaptable, and systematic approach to digital transformation, model innovations equipped with AI features, and ecosystem innovations that foster cross-industry collaboration. Furthermore, AI is being used to optimize electricity generation, focusing on crucial areas such as energy forecast for new energies, load forecasting, and substation autonomy.

As a leading player in the power sector, Huawei is focusing on critical business scenarios and the integration of digital productivity. The company’s strategic collaborations with industry ecosystems aim to promote sustainable growth and intelligent advancements in this field. Alongside Huawei, experts like Bilel Jamoussi, Deputy Director of ITU TSB, Roque Bacani, Senior Vice President and Director for ICT and Transformation at Meralco, and Juan Ortiz Noval, Director for Network Operations and Maintenance at E-Distribución Redes Digitales, shared their successful practices.

Additionally, Oleg Logvinov, chair of the IEEE working groups P2413.2, P1901.1, and P1901.3, and CEO of IoTecha, introduced the architecture of the IEEE P2413.2 PDIoT standards and the strategic initiatives led by the IEEE P2413.2 working group. Throughout this collaboration, they showcased the IEEE P2413.2 PDIoT reference architecture standard cooperative platform established in partnership with Huawei.

Looking Ahead: A Commitment to Digital Transformation

Looking to the future, Huawei plans to concentrate on digital technology and AI, continually refining the digital transformation process based on acquired experiences. The company aims to partner with clients and collaborators to drive the digital and intelligent transformation of the energy industry.
