What problem did Huawei want to solve?
In a press release on Wednesday, the manufacturing company Huawei announced that it would be presenting its innovative Intelligent Distribution Solution (IDS) at the 26th World Energy Congress in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The aim of the IDS is to tackle industry’s most pressing challenges in electric power, which include high line losses, unreliable service, and the burden of managing new energy loads.
David Sun, Vice President of Huawei and CEO of Huawei’s Electric Power Digitalization BU, said that Huawei’s IDS allows power enterprises to shift from single-point digitalization of power distribution rooms to architecture-supported.
“Huawei’s Intelligent Distribution Solution enables power enterprises to shift from single-point digitalization of power distribution rooms to architecture-supported, evolvable, open, and systematic intelligence. With an open digital ecosystem, we can stimulate grassroots creativity internally and make industry and cross-industry capabilities available to customers externally,” said David.
Zhang Genzhou, CIO of State Grid Shaanxi, said that “The solution delivers comprehensive and accurate power distribution network sensing, lean and refined management, timely and proactive customer service, as well as simpler and more efficient work for our employees.”
Why the industry’s needs IDS
According to the firm, to solve industry’s most pressing problems, power companies are turning to digital solutions that harness the power of data, connectivity, and automation. The digitisation of the power distribution network is often known as the ‘last mile’ (a critical element in the modernisation of the conventional power grid system). This ‘last mile’ ensures that electric power is delivered directly to consumers’ homes, businesses, and industry, and Huawei’s IDS leverages cutting-edge technologies to optimize power distribution, enhance grid reliability, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources.
About IDS
Huwai said that the IDS architecture is built on a unique “cloud-pipe-edge-pipe-device” framework, which includes an on-premise private cloud as the digital foundation, both wired and wireless solutions for the backhaul network, an all-in-one edge computing unit (ECU) for lean management, and next-generation high-speed power line carrier communication (HPLC) on the low-voltage side. This comprehensive approach enables real-time, measurable observations that empower utility providers to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction by identifying and repairing faults before power outages occur.
the firm said that the solution has been used in real-world applications across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and several provinces in China, including in the Shaanxi province, in collaboration with the State Grid Shaanxi Electric Power Co., Ltd and partners. According to the report, the solution has changed the management of over 100,000 distribution transformer districts, reducing outage durations and achieving an impressive power supply reliability rate. Moreover, it has enabled the seamless integration of over 50,000 residential photovoltaic sites, and more than 1,000 large-scale 10kV photovoltaic sites have achieved 100% access and consumption.
Huawei’s unveiling of its Intelligent Distribution System (IDS) at the 26th World Energy Congress represents a momentous leap forward in reshaping the energy industry. Through the seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies, Huawei is positioned to elevate efficiency, reliability, and sustainability across energy distribution networks.
