Huawei's Innovative Power Architecture for AI Data Centers
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona 2025, Huawei introduced an advanced power architecture designed to revolutionize energy supply for next-generation data centers. This launch was led by He Bo, the Chairman of Huawei's Data Center Facility and Critical Power Product Line. The newly unveiled
Single SitePower architecture and the
RASTM guidelines aim to address the challenges of operating data centers in the era of artificial intelligence (AI).
Huawei recognizes a growing trend in the demand for intelligent energy solutions as digital technologies evolve. With the introduction of Single SitePower, the company aims to facilitate operators in becoming both energy producers and consumers, paving the way for enhanced ICT facilities underpinned by improved energy management strategies.
Features of Single SitePower Architecture
Single SitePower embodies a three-tier synergy mechanism that integrates power supply facilities, wireless networks, and power grids into a cohesive system. Its approach enables seamless interaction and management of energy and information flows from the power source through the network to storage solutions. This integration enhances site energy efficiency (SEE) and power availability (PAV), while reducing network carbon intensity (NCIe).
1. Resilience
The architecture bolsters the robustness of onsite power supply facilities by linking them with wireless networks, ensuring synergistic advantages among energy sources, storage solutions, and loads. This interconnectedness is designed to create resilient infrastructures that can withstand various challenges.
2. Sustainability
Utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as high-voltage string inverters, optimizers, smart algorithms, and advanced safety mechanisms (like Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters and Rapid Shutdown Devices) contributes to creating greener sites. Huawei emphasizes the importance of monetizing green energy sources effectively.
3. Reliability
According to Huawei, the deployment of high-quality lithium batteries is crucial for maintaining reliable communications and system operations.
RASTM Guidelines for Building AI Data Centers
As AI technology continues to infiltrate various sectors, data centers face critical challenges, including reliability, uncertainty, rapid deployment, and escalating energy demands. Huawei's RASTM guidelines address these issues, promoting effective solutions through collaborative innovation with global partners.
Key Focus Areas
- - Reliability: With the increasing reliance on AI systems, maintaining operational reliability is imperative. AI data centers must incorporate improved architectures, innovative products, and intelligent management to sustain reliability throughout their lifecycle.
- - Agility: The guidelines advocate for a modular design approach that allows for the prompt adaptation to unpredictable needs, facilitating quicker deployment processes.
- - Sustainability: Enhancing power supply efficiency will become a focal point, evolving from focusing on individual devices to considering the efficiency of interconnected systems while promoting widespread adoption of super-economic control operations (S-ECO).
He Bo remarked, "We support the concept of 'Power for AI, AI for Power'. Our commitment to technological innovation will help foster a deeper integration of digital, smart, and low-carbon technologies, guiding operators from energy consumers to producers."
Conclusion
The MWC Barcelona 2025 event, running from March 3 to 6, saw Huawei exhibiting its latest advancements at booth 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1. The rapid commercialization of technologies like 5G-Advanced will empower operators to transform their businesses, infrastructure, and operations. Huawei's collaborations with global network operators further underline its commitment to accelerating the transition into an intelligent future. More information can be found at
