Huawei recently conducted digital power club roadshow in key cities throughout Japan. The roadshow displayed new solutions relating to Smart PV, Data Center Facility, Site Power Facility and Modular Power. The roadshow visited Osaka, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Fukushima and Tokyo, and was also hosted online. The event attracted attention from both industry and media alike, garnering much interest in the latest technologies and solutions. Huawei looks forward to exploring the trends and challenges of power digitalization together with customers in Japan for a green and sustainable world.

Zhang Weiwei, General Manager of Huawei Japan Digital Power Business Unit, said, “The global community is witnessing the fast growth of industries like big data center, AI, Industrial Internet, and EV, and our society is transforming into a digital economy quickly. As the infrastructure of the digital world, energy is facing huge challenges. Huawei Digital Power integrates digital technology with power electronics, manages watt with bit, leads Power digitalization, realizes green power generation and efficient power consumption, and builds a green intelligent world.”

AI reshapes PV

Against the backdrop of global energy revolution,  PV power generation has become the primary choice of new energy development now and in the future. In the photovoltaic area, Huawei takes the lead in conducting in-depth integration of digital information technology, AI technology and photovoltaic technology. In doing so, Huawei fully unleashes the potential of power stations through advanced technologies such as the AI BOOST intelligent tracker mounting algorithm, intelligent IV diagnosis, intelligent grid connection algorithm, and intelligent arc protection, while restructuring operation and maintenance experience, and achieving lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and better grid support. The integration between digital technology and new energy is re-shaping the world: when photovoltaics meets AI, the industry breaks through existing limitations, and is restructured and redefined; and when AI meets photovoltaics, a new world of perception, interconnection and intelligence of all things will become greener and full of life.

Build the next generation data center

With the rapid development of cloud, AI and 5G technologies, data centers, as the founding infrastructure of the smart world, faces considerable challenges like a long construction cycle of 1-2 years, huge water and electricity consumption, difficult and inefficient manual operation and maintenance, and low safety and reliability. In response to these challenges, Huawei introduces the next generation data centers characterized by a “simple, green, smart, and reliable” ethos. Through product and technological changes, such as modular and pre-customized design, ultimate integration of power supply and distribution, adoption of lithium instead of lead, convergence of liquid cooling and air cooling, AI operation and maintenance, and AI energy efficiency optimization, Huawei accelerates the deployment of data center infrastructure, realizes ultimate energy optimization through software and hardware, and achieves supply increase and consumption reduction, enabling each watt to undertake more computing power.

Facing challenges such as accelerated energy consumption in the digital world and the deterioration of environment otherwise necessary for the preservation of human livelihood, Huawei Digital Power, through green power generation and efficient power consumption products and solutions, connects 200 million people lacking in electricity resources across the world, speeds up the deployment of digital infrastructure, and supports the construction of a green, intelligent world of energy conservation and emission reduction. As of Q1 2020, Huawei Digital Power accumulatively conserved 273 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, and accumulatively reduced 170 million tons of CO₂ emission, which is equivalent to planting 220 million trees.
