A new era of deep integration
Why must digital technology and power electronics technology be integrated and can be integrated? It is confusing for many ordinary readers.
The traditional power energy system, which has been in operation for more than a century, faces the necessity of three changes in the digital age:
1. Changes on the production side. The energy structure is accelerating towards a clean power generation side. Renewable energy such as photovoltaics and wind power will become the mainstay. However, new energy power generation has the problem that primary energy cannot be stored and secondary energy is not easy to control. To achieve energy storage and stable supply, it is necessary Digital transformation of energy systems.
2. Changes on the transmission side. The high proportion of new energy and high proportion of semiconductor converters bring challenges to the load balance and dispatch of the power grid and the stability of the power system. The participation of digital technology can improve the transmission capacity of the energy network.
3. Changes on the application side. The proportion of electricity in energy consumption will increase from the current 21% to 51% in 2050. For complex and diverse energy demands, it is necessary to achieve optimal system resource allocation and optimal comprehensive utilization efficiency.
Facing the needs of the times, at the 2023 China Digital Energy Ecology Conference, Hou Jinlong mentioned four key paths for energy evolution and transformation: low-carbonization, electrification, digitalization, and intelligence.
He believes that through 5G, sensing, artificial intelligence, cloud and other digital technologies, the "source, network, load and storage" of the physical world will be digitized, a virtual system of the digital world will be generated, the simulation will run in real time, and decision-making guidance will be formed for the physical world of the power system. And optimization, so as to support many participating units of energy infrastructure, and carry out flexible adjustment and dynamic balance.
This also means that the energy industry must overcome the high mountains of technology and overcome the unknown risks and turbulent waves of the transition period, in order to reach the next era and obtain abundant industrial opportunities.
Huawei builds a boat
The Ship of Three New Energy Infrastructures
During this digital voyage full of unknowns, Huawei, with its profound technical background, has become a huge ship that can help the energy industry to weather the storm, travel thousands of miles, and reach the future.
The three new energy infrastructures built by Huawei Digital Energy are: new power system energy infrastructure for energy transformation, new digital industry energy infrastructure for intelligent transformation, and new electric travel energy infrastructure for travel transformation.
Among them, the main scenarios of the energy infrastructure of the new power system focus on large clean energy bases, urban energy smart bodies, and household energy management systems.
The new digital industry energy infrastructure focuses on using "green power" to support "green computing power" and release the productivity of the digital economy, including data center energy, site energy, and key power supply products and solutions for the digital industry.
The new electric travel energy infrastructure is facing the transportation electrification industry, providing solutions for on-board electric drive and off-board charging network.
The question is, the trend of change and the needs of the industry have reached a consensus. Why is Huawei Digital Energy the first to build three new energy infrastructures to meet the needs of the times? There are three characteristics that are difficult to replicate:
The first is integration technology.
Huawei's digital technology system includes AI, computing, cloud, network, IoT and other fields, which can fully and comprehensively empower the digital energy field and carry out comprehensive and high-quality digital transformation. For example, Chengdu Intelligent Computing Center, the largest artificial intelligence computing center in Southwest China, has joined hands with Huawei to integrate advanced energy-saving products and technologies such as high-efficiency integrated power modules, smart lithium batteries, and AI. Reduce carbon emissions by 19,000 tons and plant 26,000 trees.
The second is to understand the industry.
Huawei Digital Energy's in-depth understanding of the "source, network, load, and storage" of electric power promotes the integration of digital technology and all aspects of the energy industry, and develops unprecedented revolutionary solutions.
Many clean energy bases, such as photovoltaic power plants, are located in remote areas, and there are difficulties in operation and maintenance management and grid connection, high operating costs, and intermittent and volatile power generation. Huawei Digital Energy uses the revolutionary Grid Forming energy storage technology to create an "intelligent optical storage generator". Through the integration of power electronics technology, digital technology, and advanced grid-connected technology, the optical storage system has the ability to actively enhance the power grid. The ability and the function of traditional synchronous generators are expected to change photovoltaic and wind power from supplementary power to main power, and truly realize the energy system with clean energy as the main body.
In addition, it pays attention to value.
Huawei's digital energy infrastructure and solutions are not a simple accumulation of various technologies, but an organic integration of technologies based on the actual needs of various industrial chain roles such as clean energy bases, end users, and new energy vehicle companies. And the grasp of the overall benefit.
Taking travel reform as an example, there are insufficient charging piles for electric travel and long waiting times in queues; slow charging, loud noise, and poor charging experience for users; difficult operation and maintenance of charging stations and high costs have increased the operating pressure of car companies.
Huawei Digital Energy has launched a "one kilometer per second" super charging solution. Equipped with Huawei Digital Energy's full liquid-cooled supercharger architecture, Shanghai's first fully liquid-cooled public supercharger station can quickly recharge high-voltage models, increasing battery life by 200 kilometers in ten minutes, and the noise is less than 65dB when fully loaded. Charging operators put forward the idea of "a cup of coffee is fully charged", and car owners can complete charging by drinking coffee in a quiet environment.
The technological dividend is truly transformed into real industrial value and use value, and the electric travel industry is expected to realize a positive business cycle of sustainable development.

The energy industry reaches the future with Huawei
Hou Jinlong emphasized that the digital energy industry is a huge ecological industry, and the ecological strategy is the core strategy of Huawei Digital Energy. Huawei Digital Energy insists on continuous innovation in technology and products, grows and develops together with customers, partners, and industrial organizations, and works together to build a digital energy industry ecosystem to promote society from high-carbon to low-carbon, and ultimately from low-carbon to zero carbon.
Through ecological efforts, Huawei Digital Energy is flying over several mountains:
Mountain of Technology: Focus on continuous technological innovation and application demonstration around the scene, join forces with leading customers in the industry, and jointly lead the development route of the industry.
The Mountain of Business: Continue to increase the empowerment, support and system construction of capable partners, so that partners can really make money, continue to make money, and share development opportunities and the future.
The Mountain of Public Welfare: Help local partners become high-end new energy equipment providers, participate in the development of local green and low-carbon industries, and fulfill their social responsibilities to the local country and society.
Mountain of Industry: Cooperate with local authorities, think tanks, industry associations, industry alliances, standards organizations, etc. to jointly promote industrial policies and industry standards that are oriented towards double carbon targets, high-quality development, and support the transformation of the energy industry, so as to cultivate more talents and experts.
The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. The ship of Huawei Digital Energy has already set off to explore the era of digital energy, and it may arrive in a short while.
