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
