Huawei Unveils PDIoT Collaborative Platform at MWC Barcelona 2025

During the Huawei Electric Power Summit at MWC Barcelona 2025, themed 'Thrive with Digital, Accelerate Electric Power Intelligence', Huawei launched its new platform designed for collaboration based on the IEEE P2413.2 standards for Power Distribution IoT (PDIoT). This initiative is aimed at enhancing the digital transformation within the energy sector.

The event gathered industry experts and leaders from international standardization organizations who shared insights into the latest research findings and best practices. These efforts are intended to spur innovation and advancement in the energy landscape.

David Sun, the CEO of Huawei's Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit and Vice President of Huawei, highlighted the challenges faced by energy systems, such as traditional line losses and reliability issues, while also addressing emerging global challenges in the new energy era. He stressed the necessity of innovation in tackling these problems. With advancements in cloud and edge computing, as well as medium-voltage communication technologies and High Power Line Communication (HPLC), many issues in low-voltage distribution networks can be effectively resolved.

For instance, in Xi'an's international port zone, the full implementation of Huawei's HPLC significantly improved the reliability of low-voltage communications to over 99.9%. During power outages, more than 97% of users can expect to be contacted within three minutes by utility personnel, marking a nearly 50% reduction in complaints related to low-voltage household networks. Additionally, loss calculations that previously took considerable time can now be completed in just 15 minutes.

One company in Shaanxi successfully executed a complete distributed PV integration alongside synchronized charging for charging stations, subsequently doubling the capacity.

Sun further articulated the crucial elements that define successful innovation: architectural innovations that support open, adaptable, and systematic digital transformation; model innovations enabling AI capabilities; and ecosystem innovations promoting inter-sector collaboration. This also includes AI-driven innovations aimed at optimizing power generation, especially in areas like new energy forecasting, load management, and transformer grid autonomy.

Huawei’s focus remains on key energy business scenarios and the integration of digital capabilities into their operations. By strategically collaborating with the industry ecosystem, Huawei aims to foster sustainable growth and technological achievements in this vital sector.

At the summit, participants including Bilel Jamoussi, Deputy Director of ITU TSB, Roque Bacani, Vice President and Director of ICT and Transformation at Meralco, and Juan Ortiz Noval, Director of Network Operations and Maintenance at E-Distribución Redes Digitales, shared their successful experiences with Huawei.

Oleg Logvinov, Chair of IEEE P2413.2, P1901.1, and P1901.3 working groups, along with IoTecha's CEO, discussed the architecture behind the IEEE P2413.2 PDIoT standards and the strategic actions taken by the working group in cooperation with Huawei in developing the platform.

Looking ahead, Huawei is set to prioritize digital technology and artificial intelligence to continuously enhance the process of digital transformation based on learned experiences, in tandem with clients and partners to promote the digital and intelligent transformation of the energy sector.
