Edwin Diender, CIO of Huawei Electric Power Business Unit, introduced the “Digitalization Trends in the Electric Power Industry” report by Huawei. He said: “Future networks will be built to support more than 100 times today’s capacity, but their total energy consumption will be no higher than that of today’s networks. Huawei will continue to find innovative scenarios and key technologies for the industry to ensure energy security, maximize efficiency of energy utilization, reduce energy waste, and promote high-quality energy and electric power development.”

“Energy transition will bring hundreds of millions of widely distributed sensors into the system, and real-time perception will become the basis of dynamic balance of power systems” said Frank Zou, Director of Electric Power Industry Digital Solution of Huawei Indonesia, at the Knowledge Hub presentation, “we need the support of a systematic digital capability including communication, computing and cyber security to reach the goal of energy transition.”

Up to now, Huawei has worked with more than 190 power companies around the world and jointly built over 40 scenario-based solutions with ecological partners.
