Huawei Unveils Innovative IDS Features at CIRED 2025
The
Congrès International des Réseaux Electriques de Distribution (CIRED 2025) took place from June 16 to 19, 2025, where
Huawei introduced significant advancements in its Intelligent Distribution Solution (IDS). This event attracted 129 companies and 2,654 professionals from 72 countries, all eager to discuss innovations in global energy distribution.
At CIRED 2025, Huawei presented new functionalities of its IDS, aimed at addressing pressing issues in the energy sector, such as frequent power outages, outdated infrastructure, and the increased adoption of renewable energy sources. The company's IDS employs a cutting-edge architecture known as the
cloud-pipe-edge-pipe-device model, integrating advanced communications technologies like
High-Speed Power Line Carrier (HPLC) and
Edge Computing Units (ECU). This integration is designed to enhance proactive operations and maintenance of electrical systems, enabling quicker response times during emergencies and bolstering network resilience against severe weather events.
Notably, the IDS has already demonstrated considerable success in China, where it has been widely implemented and tested by over 20 power distribution companies worldwide. In the Asia-Pacific region, the IDS has reportedly reduced power outage detection times to under two minutes and decreased line losses by approximately 20%. These improvements highlight the efficacy of Huawei's approach in overcoming traditional operational challenges.
During CIRED 2025, Huawei launched a customized IDS feature tailored to tackle the challenges posed by undetectable and uncontrollable devices within power distribution stations. This development utilizes
AI and IoT sensors to establish a comprehensive environmental monitoring network for power distribution operations round-the-clock. The advanced data processing capabilities of AI enable real-time alerts for environmental risks, facilitating timely preventive maintenance for equipment and transitioning from passive responses to proactive measures. These enhancements are crucial for maintaining reliability in power supply while also extending the lifespan of vital equipment.
Supported by the
Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Huawei conducted the IDS Rump Session at CIRED 2025 to share insights gained through collaborative partnerships that foster digital and intelligent transformation in distribution networks. As a longstanding advocate for international standards in energy distribution, Huawei also participated in the
5th meeting of the IEEE P 2413.2 Working Group. This engagement emphasized standardization efforts and the international development of the energy sector, addressing technical barriers related to medium-voltage backhaul and transparency in 400V low-voltage distributions.
The recent unveiling of new IDS features signifies Huawei's ongoing commitment to technological innovation and practical applications in the energy distribution realm. These advancements are set to assist customers in achieving effective transparency and management of 400V low-voltage devices, marking a notable step forward in the digital transformation of power networks. As the discussion surrounding global energy solutions continues, Huawei's contributions at CIRED 2025 reaffirm its role as a leader in the sustainable and efficient distribution of energy worldwide.
