SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Huawei hosted the Energy Summit online, which was held within the framework of
HUAWEI CONNECT 2021 and themed "Digital Energy, Powering the Low Carbon Era".
During the summit, customers and partners discussed best practices in using new
technologies to transition the energy industry toward carbon neutrality. Huawei
also released the Global Energy Transition and Zero Carbon Development White
Paper and shared its Energy Trans-Cube Strategy.
Energy Trans-Cube, Creating New Value for the Industry
After signing the Paris Agreement in 2015, more countries than ever before are
committed to carbon neutrality and are taking positive actions to address
climate change. Each one follows a different path, suitable to its resource
profile, energy, and environment. "Despite the strong will to go carbon
neutral, we need to take into account three challenges: green and low carbon
development, economic development, as well as the security and continuity of
energy supply. The convergence of energy transformation and digital
transformation will pave the digital way for carbon neutrality," said David
Sun, Vice President of Huawei Enterprise BG and President of the Global Energy
Business Unit. He added, "Huawei has developed a Trans-Cube methodology. It
suggests that to get closer to a net-zero carbon intelligent energy system and
achieve global zero-carbon development, we should build three core capabilities
— net-zero carbon transformation, energy transformation, and digital
transformation."
The first capability — net-zero carbon transformation — will help various
industries manage their carbon assets, and implement de-carbonization actions
suitable to their specific contexts. In the process, they will go from
low-carbon to near-zero carbon, and eventually achieve carbon neutrality.
Then, energy transformation will make energy production and consumption more
reliable, secure, and efficient, transforming from a single centralized system
to a diversified, distributed, and integrated one. The ultimate goal is to
achieve multi-energy coordination and optimize efficiency.
Last but not least, there is digital transformation. With data at its core,
digital transformation will enable net-zero carbon transformation and energy
transformation.
White Paper Release — New Ideas to Lead the Industry
According to Guo Xiaobo, Energy expert at Deloitte China, going carbon neutral
means achieving energy transformation and zero-carbon development as soon as
possible, using more renewable resources, changing the way we use energy, and
using new technologies to reduce emissions. Based on this, the Global Energy
Transition and Zero Carbon Development White Paper analyzes the key factors
affecting energy transition, and proposes a new plan for the energy sector —
building a net-zero intelligent energy system.
The said system focuses on interconnecting oil, gas, electricity, heat, and
hydrogen systems, and aims to achieve secure, reliable, efficient,
cost-effective, and clean energy. Anthony Hu , Chief Representative for Energy
Transition (Carbon Neutrality), Global Energy Business Unit of Huawei
Enterprise BG, said, "The architecture of the net-zero intelligent energy
system will interconnect the energy system, carbon system, and ICT
infrastructure as well as eventually converging energy, carbon, information,
and value flows. Gradually, it will form a system with data at its core,
promoting the digitalization of the energy industry."
Drive Data to Barrel, Embrace Intelligence to Grow
The digital transformation and intelligent development of the oil and gas
industry is still in its infancy. According to Lv Gongxun, Senior Consultant of
Huawei and Former General Manager of China National Corporation for Exploration
and Development of Oil and Gas (CNODC), digital transformation signals four
opportunities for the industry: rebuilding business models, transforming
management models, innovating business models, and accelerating transformation
and value growth.
Lv Gongxun also discussed the value of cloud for the oil and gas industry:
"Cloud technologies enable centralized information resource planning,
intelligent management and control, flexible provisioning, convenient services,
and high security and efficiency. They will transform the existing business
models."
Power grids are another important area of energy transformation, rapidly
evolving with new technologies. In this context, Felix Chifwaila, Senior
Manager of Electro-Technical Services at ZESCO, introduced the role of video
and AI in improving grid O&M capabilities. For example, visualizing channel
data leads to fewer operational risks and makes inspection 80 times more
efficient. Video and AI also help detect potential faults in time, helping
eliminate 90% of power outages every year. Having an intelligent inspection
platform and apps leads to 30% more efficient emergency response and
maintenance. Mr. Chifwaila noted, "ZESCO is looking forward to continued
cooperation with Huawei, helping ZESCO become a regional power hub in digital
transformation."
ICT and OT Drive Energy Digital Transformation
"As an Operation Technology (OT) system service provider, DFE actively
cooperates with ICT vendors, including Huawei, to complement each other's
strengths, promote energy digital transformation, and build intelligent and
innovative solutions." — Fang Zhengji, General Manager of DFE. He introduced
the innovative solutions DFE developed with Huawei — Intelligent Substation
Inspection System and Automatic Transmission Line Inspection System. Powered by
DFE and Huawei technologies, the two solutions help enterprises further their
digital and intelligent transformation.
Like many others, Huawei started out as a non-digital native enterprise. This
means that the company has accumulated extensive experience and lessons learnt
through both internal projects and industry practices. It has a first-hand
understanding of the challenges traditional enterprises face during digital
transformation and has paved a "digital way" for the transformation and
development of the energy industry.
Huawei hosts HUAWEI CONNECT 2021 online from September 23 to October 31. The
theme of this year's event is Dive into Digital. We're going to dive deep into
the practical application of technologies like cloud, AI, and 5G in all
industries, and how they can make organizations of all shapes and sizes more
efficient, more versatile, and ultimately more resilient as we move towards
economic recovery. For more information, please contact our local team or check
