Huawei Launches Collaborative Platform for IEEE P2413.2 Power Distribution IoT Standards

Huawei Unveils PDIoT Collaboration Platform

At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2025, Huawei made a significant announcement at the Electric Power Summit, centering around the theme "Thrive with Digital, Accelerate Electric Power Intelligence." During this pivotal event, Huawei introduced a collaborative platform designed to support the architectural reference standards of IEEE P2413.2 Power Distribution IoT (PDIoT). This initiative is set to propel the digital transformation within the energy sector by leveraging the expertise of industry leaders and international standardization organizations.

The summit featured insights from industry experts who shared their latest research and successful implementation practices aimed at enhancing the efficiency and reliability of electrical systems. David Sun, the CEO of Huawei's Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit and Vice President of the company, addressed the audience on the pressing challenges faced by electricity systems, including traditional line losses and reliability issues. He highlighted the emerging global challenges that arise in this new energy era and emphasized the significance of continuous innovation, particularly through cloud computing, edge computing, and high-power line communication (HPLC) technology.

One notable example discussed was the Xi'an International Port Zone's power center, where the implementation of Huawei’s HPLC technology led to a remarkable improvement in the reliability of low-voltage communications, achieving up to 99.9%. The results have been promising, with over 97% of users receiving proactive notifications within three minutes during power outages. Additionally, passive fault tickets for low-voltage households decreased by almost 50%. Line loss calculations can now be completed in just 15 minutes—a substantial reduction from prior timelines.

Moreover, a company located in Shaanxi successfully integrated a fully distributed photovoltaic system, facilitated coordinated charging for charging stations, and even doubled its capacity, exemplifying the practical applications of Huawei's innovations. Furthermore, David Sun outlined crucial elements essential for successful innovation, which include architectural innovation for open and adaptable digital transformations, model innovation with AI capabilities, and ecosystem innovation fostering cross-industry collaboration.

AI innovation is highlighted as a key to optimizing energy production, especially in areas like new energy forecasting, load prediction, and transformer district autonomy. Huawei's commitment to key business scenarios for electric power prioritizes the integration of digital productivity, emphasizing a strategic collaboration with the industrial ecosystem to sustain growth and intelligence within the sector.

Noteworthy participants at the summit included Bilel Jamoussi, Deputy Director of ITU TSB, Roque Bacani from Meralco, and Juan Ortiz Noval of E-Distribución Redes Digitales, who shared their successful practices in partnership with Huawei. Oleg Logvinov, the chair of the IEEE P2413.2 working group and CEO of IoTecha, presented the architectural standards of IEEE P2413.2 PDIoT while collaborating closely with Huawei in unveiling the collaborative platform.

As for the future, Huawei aims to focus on digital technology and AI to continually refine the digital transformation process based on learned experiences. The firm is dedicated to partnering with clients and collaborators to advance the digital and intelligent transformation of the energy industry.
