We are currently facing major changes unseen in a century, with intensive innovation and technology. In the face of a rapidly changing world, finding a deterministic path to the future is definitely a prerequisite for steady and long-term progress.
The "dual-carbon strategy" continues to advance, and the "carbon peak" in 2030 is getting closer and closer. The importance and urgency of energy industry reform has been raised to a new height.
However, how to find a feasible path to combine digital technology with the energy industry has become a grand proposition that tests all sectors of industry and academia.
During the 2023 International Digital Energy Exhibition, on June 29, Hou Jinlong, President of Huawei Digital Energy Technology Co., Ltd., delivered a keynote speech on "Integrating digital technology and power electronics technology, marching towards a new era of digital energy, and building a green and beautiful future together".

Through this sharing, it can be found that the integration of digital technology and energy industry is already clear.
Hou Jinlong said, "Low-carbonization, electrification, digitalization, and intelligence are the four key paths for energy evolution and transformation." Facing this future, Huawei Digital Energy has built a solid infrastructure to create new power system energy infrastructure, new electric travel energy infrastructure, and new digital industry energy infrastructure to help realize the goal of carbon neutrality as soon as possible.
Huawei Digital Energy marched forward and drew a road map for this energy revolution. Looking deeply at Huawei's digital energy marching route, we may be able to find our own coordinates and opportunities in the new era of digital energy.

A "green line" draws a watershed in the industry
"A gentleman moves according to the circumstances and acts according to the situation." Personal choices often have to be in line with the general trend of the times and the needs of the people. Well, today we are in the process of the fourth industrial revolution, which is a certain future in this uncertain era. At this stage, digitization and intelligence are driving the evolution of many key areas of society, with the energy sector bearing the brunt.
Throughout the three industrial revolutions in history, there is a common law: behind the rapid development of social economy and technology, the discovery and utilization of new energy are inseparable.
Fossil energy represented by coal provides the power needed by factories and railways; the electrical and fuel revolution leads the outbreak of the second industrial revolution; the third industrial revolution represented by information technology is fossil energy, electric energy and A new energy structure in which renewable energy coexists. In the current fourth industrial revolution, the evolution logic of the energy industry is also in the same line. Using the most advanced digital and intelligent technologies, it is evolving towards clean and low-carbonization. New power generation methods represented by photovoltaics and wind energy are gradually replacing traditional of fossil energy.
The fourth industrial revolution is unstoppable, and it has drawn a "green line" for the energy industry without compromise and no retreat.
In recent years, dual-carbon related policies and implementation rules have been continuously published. Taking data centers as an example, in the new regulations of the "Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Action Plan", reducing PUE has become a mandatory requirement. If PUE does not meet the standard, more tiered electricity charges will be borne. This "green line" is also the "red line" that determines the life and death of the data center.
A "green line" divides the energy industry into two eras, forming a watershed with clear barriers.
Standing at the watershed of energy transformation, the burden on the shoulders of the pioneers and pioneers is even heavier. It is necessary to find the most valuable and feasible direction and act as soon as possible. Huawei Digital Energy was the first to write down its own answer.

Industrial Roadmap for Three-way Division
The grand blueprint for energy transformation cannot be achieved overnight, and requires delicate and reasonable route selection and design. Those directions that have significant industrial transformation significance should be the first to be valued and deeply cultivated, and the largest technology, industry, and innovation resources should be concentrated to promote changes.
Huawei Digital Energy focuses on the three major value points of energy transformation, travel transformation, and intelligent transformation, and begins to divide into three groups to create "three new energy infrastructures".
First, new power system energy infrastructure.
To reduce energy carbon emissions, it is necessary to reduce the use of traditional fossil energy such as coal, and the next-generation energy system represented by hydrogen energy and nuclear fusion is not yet mature enough. Therefore, at the current stage, the energy structure is accelerating towards renewable energy as the main body. The most mature and lowest-cost application of renewable energy is the new power system.
The first "fortress" that Huawei Digital Energy chose to build is the "new power system energy infrastructure".
Facing clean energy base scenarios, Huawei Digital Energy helps build a large clean energy base with new energy as the main body by integrating power electronics technology and digital technology, advanced grid-connected technology, and smart solar storage generators, reducing the "two highs and one large" (High proportion of new energy, high proportion of power electronic equipment application, large area and remote location) bring challenges such as grid connection, operation and maintenance, and promote photovoltaic and wind power from supplementary power to main power.
Facing cities, through products and solutions such as distributed energy, virtual power plants, smart charging networks, V2X, integrated smart energy, and smart micro-grids, we can realize an intelligently coordinated energy system of "source, network, load, storage and use" and build a green and low-carbon of urban energy agents.
Facing the family, it is the most basic unit of the new power system, creating a green, low-carbon, ultimate experience, and intelligent interconnected home energy management system. It adopts the "Ultralight Storage and Charging Cloud" solution to provide lower-carbon green power and ensure power supply. , without fear of the risk of power outages, while reducing electricity bills.
Second, new electric travel energy infrastructure.
With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, the autonomous driving transformation driven by AI will rewrite the operating logic of the automobile and transportation industries from the bottom up. Networking, intelligence, sharing, and electrification have become the directions for many automakers to accelerate their deployment. The increase in the number of new energy vehicles has driven the charging network to become an important new infrastructure.
The second "fortress" built by Huawei Digital Energy, the new electric travel energy infrastructure, is a charging network that supports the transportation electrification industry.
Through the super-integrated power system and the "one kilometer per second" super charging solution, a "refueling" charging experience is realized. In the near future, Huawei Digital Energy will join hands with customers and partners to accelerate the implementation of electric vehicle high-traffic scenarios such as "100,000 gas stations across the country", "expressway service areas", and "urban public". It is worth mentioning that at today's International Digital Energy Exhibition, Shenzhen, together with Huawei Digital Energy and many ecological partners, announced the launch of the construction of a "supercharging city" and a network of "charging, storage and discharging". In the future, Huawei Digital Energy will also help cities such as Chengdu, Mianyang, Yibin, Taiyuan, and Zhengzhou to accelerate the construction of high-quality charging infrastructure.
Third, new digital industrial energy infrastructure.
The core of the fourth industrial revolution is the new generation of information technologies such as AI, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, which are combined with applications in various industries and fields. The acceleration of digital transformation has also led to a sharp increase in the number of global connections and computing power, and it is imminent to save energy and reduce emissions in data centers and communication sites. At the forefront of the times, a new type of digital industry energy infrastructure has emerged to provide underlying support for the digital industry and digital economy.
Huawei Digital Energy integrates digital and intelligent technologies into products such as data center energy, site energy, and industry-critical power supply, so that energy consumption and carbon emissions per bit continue to decrease, and more "green computing power" is provided.
The three new energy infrastructures should be regarded as the "power pump" of the fourth industrial revolution. Their breadth of coverage, importance of fields, and depth of transformation have triggered some qualitative changes in the energy industry chain and technology base. Huawei Digital Energy has become A key force in the transformation of the energy industry.

After the meeting of the three armies, the traveler is still on the road
The three armies joined forces, marching towards the future of the integration of digital technology and energy systems, and successfully crossed the "watershed".
The fact that Huawei Digital Energy has become a pioneer in leading the way is not due to a sudden whim, but due to the simultaneous maturity of several conditions:
The technology is mature. Huawei's digital technology and power electronics technology have a lot of cutting-edge technology accumulation and practical experience in the fields of electric power, cities, and DC, providing abundant technical reserves for building a more advanced energy infrastructure.
The market is ripe. From policy support, case effects to market environment trends, the energy industry's demand for digital technologies, products and solutions has taken shape.
Mature mentality. Achieving the dual-carbon goal requires not only technological change, but also positive actions by the entire industry and society. Huawei Digital Energy has long clarified the industrial logic of "people travel far". Hou Jinlong has emphasized on many occasions that Huawei Digital energy must unswervingly work with industry and ecological partners to build a digital energy industry ecology.
It is the integration of these factors that makes Huawei Digital Energy take the lead in building a new energy infrastructure. It also attracts partners from all walks of life in government, industry, academia, research and application, and chooses the same direction and walks on the same road as Huawei.
The fourth industrial revolution is to be realized, human society must be sustainable, and a new era of digital energy has arrived, independent of anyone's will. This is the starting point of a century of changes, and it is an opportunity that cannot be missed for the industry and even China.
Taking the lead in standing at the watershed of energy transformation, Walker Huawei Digital Energy and its partners, every step forward and every path chosen will deeply engrave their footprints on the global digital map.
