Huawei Unveils Collaborative Platform for IEEE Standards in IoT Power Distribution at MWC 2025

Huawei's Innovative Platform for Power Distribution IoT

At the recent Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2025, Huawei unveiled its pioneering collaborative platform aimed at setting the standards for the Internet of Things (IoT) in power distribution, known as the IEEE P2413.2 reference architecture. This significant announcement was made during the Huawei Electric Power Summit, under the compelling theme, "Thrive with Digital, Accelerate Electric Power Intelligence."

The Power of Collaboration

David Sun, the CEO of Huawei's Electric Power Digitalization BU and a vice president at Huawei, took center stage to address the challenges currently faced by global energy systems. He pointed out common issues like traditional energy losses and reliability concerns that impact efficiency across various infrastructures. Additionally, he highlighted evolving global challenges in the wake of new energy resources, calling attention to the critical need for innovation in this area.

Innovations Driving Change

Huawei's innovative solutions in cloud computing, edge computing, medium-voltage communication, and high-speed power-line communication (HPLC) are not just theoretical; they are being practically applied to resolve pressing challenges faced by low-voltage distribution networks. For instance, the international port zone in Xi'an, which fully implemented Huawei's HPLC technology, observed a remarkable increase in the reliability of low-voltage communication, reaching an astounding 99.9%. Moreover, the proactive engagement of over 97% of users during power outages within three minutes showcases Huawei's commitment to enhancing user experience through technology.

This technology's efficacy is further highlighted by the impressive 50% reduction in passive fault logs for independent low-voltage households and the rapid completion of electrical loss calculations in just 15 minutes, streamlining operations significantly.

Sustainable Progress Through Digital Integration

Huawei's approach does not stop there. The company has successfully integrated distributed photovoltaic systems in Shaanxi Province, improving coordinated charging for public charging stands while doubling their capacity, among other advancements. Sun emphasized that successful innovation characteristics include adopting an adaptable digital transformation architecture, AI-driven functional innovations, and ecosystem collaborations to drive interdisciplinary cooperation.

Additionally, optimization of energy production through AI technologies plays a vital role in forecasting the performance of new energy resources and predicting load changes. As the company forges ahead, Huawei remains dedicated to focusing on essential business scenarios surrounding electric power and the integration of digital productivity.

Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Huawei is set to advance its focus on digital technologies and artificial intelligence while continually refining the digital transformation process based on accumulated experiences. The company aims to forge strong partnerships with customers and industry players to enable a seamless transition towards smarter and more efficient energy industry practices.

Gathering at the summit, industry experts shared their successful practices in conjunction with Huawei. Notable speakers included Bilel Jamoussi from ITU TSB, Roque Bacani from Meralco, and Juan Ortiz Noval from E-Distribución Redes Digitales, all contributing invaluable insights that highlight the collaborative spirit of this initiative.

Oleg Logvinov, chair of the IEEE working groups for P2413.2, P1901.1, and P1901.3 and CEO of IoTecha, introduced the IEEE P2413.2 PDIoT standards architecture along with strategic initiatives from the working group. The collaboration with Huawei has paved the way for the development of this vital standards platform, reinforcing the collaborative aspects of powering future energy frameworks.

By investing in research and development, Huawei continues to empower stakeholders in realizing intelligent and digital transformations in the energy sector. They emphasize the profound impact of these changes, demonstrating a commitment to embracing the future while addressing the challenges of today.
