Huawei Smart Energy enables operators to transform into energy producers

Targeting the "energy consumer" scenario, Huawei Site Energy is creating end-to-end efficient electricity solutions to assist operators in building green and low-carbon networks, with extremely low total cost (TCO) in the deployment of 4/5G networks.

 

 

[Barcelona, Spain, February 26, 2024] During the MWC 2024 World Mobile Communications Conference, Li Shaolong, President of Huawei Digital Energy Station Energy, delivered a keynote speech on "Huawei Smart Energy Enabling Operators to Transform into Energy Producers" at the 2024 Digital Energy Summit Forum.

 

Li Shaolong stated that in the past, operators were only energy consumers. With the development of new models such as site deployment of photovoltaic green power and virtual power plant (VPP) business, the network energy infrastructure of operators no longer consumes electricity unilaterally, but can also participate in energy production and power scheduling, thereby promoting their evolution from energy consumers to energy consumers and producers, accelerating green transformation.

Scenario of "Energy Consumers": Creating end-to-end efficient electricity consumption solutions

 

Targeting the "energy consumer" scenario, Huawei Site Energy is creating end-to-end efficient electricity solutions to assist operators in building green and low-carbon networks, with extremely low total cost (TCO) in the deployment of 4/5G networks.

 

· Efficient components: such as 98% efficient rectifier modules and intelligent air switches, enable efficient and intelligent station components, and help achieve efficient and intelligent electricity consumption.

· Efficient equipment: "One Station, One Cabinet, One Station, One Knife" leads the minimalist construction of sites, shifting from traditional air conditioning refrigeration to natural heat dissipation. The energy efficiency of sites has increased from 60% to 97%, and site operation and maintenance have moved from "maintenance saving" to "maintenance free";

· Efficient solution: such as hybrid power supply scheme, supporting multiple energy inputs and intelligent scheduling, improving the stability of site energy consumption and optimizing the cost of electricity consumption and carbon emissions;

· Efficient management: A three-layer indicator management system consisting of Site Energy Efficiency (SEE), Network Energy Efficiency (NEE), and Network Carbon Emission Intensity (NCIe), which drives the development of low-carbon construction in stations from extensive mode to refined direction; The NetEco intelligent site solution intelligently manages the entire communication energy network, achieving remote operation and maintenance, as well as visible, manageable, and optimized energy efficiency and carbon emissions.

 

Scenario of "energy producers": participating in energy production and scheduling

 

For the scenario of "energy producers", Huawei Station Energy assists operators in deploying photovoltaic green electricity to achieve energy production, and utilizes VPP (Virtual Power Plant) technology to aggregate station energy storage resources, participate in electricity market business, and achieve energy conservation and income increase.

 

· Energy production: iSolar site stacking adopts high-voltage series connection and "N-in-1" photovoltaic controllers, with simple deployment of photovoltaic green electrodes, saving cables and engineering costs by 15%; The iPV optimizer independently tunes each photovoltaic panel to reduce occlusion loss and increase power generation by 20%; The overlapping optical storage collaborative intelligent algorithm can increase the green energy absorption ratio to 100%.

· Energy scheduling: CloudLi intelligent lithium-ion battery enables the transition of energy storage from simple backup to intelligent energy storage, releasing the value of energy storage assets. In the backup scenario, based on the characteristics of intelligent boosting, intelligent cutting, and intelligent mixing, intelligent collaboration within the station can be achieved, which can save end-to-end investment in energy storage; In a cyclic scenario, achieve intelligent collaboration between stations and networks, and save electricity costs through staggered electricity usage; Participate in virtual power plant (VPP) grid regulation, create new businesses, and increase new revenue.
