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, which will enable the industry to transform from
information-based to digital, and finally intelligent. With data at its core,
digital transformation will enable net-zero carbon transformation and energy
transformation.

Core Capabilities of Zero-carbon Smart Energy System
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.
Fang Zhengji, General Manager of DFE, spoke at the Energy Summit
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.
