[Bangkok, Thailand, May 9, 2024] The 8th Global ICT Energy Efficiency Summit with the theme of "Green Sites, Wisdom Wins the Future" was successfully held. International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Global Society for Mobile Communications Systems (GSMA) AIS、Zain、 China Mobile Smart Axiata、 Universal Service Provision (USP) Malaysia XL Axiata、 Huawei Digital Energy and other communication industry standard organizations, industry associations, leading operators, and solution providers delivered keynote speeches at the event, discussing the path of network green transformation and exploring the value potential of ICT energy infrastructure.

 

 

From energy consumers to energy producers and consumers, operators win in the era of carbon neutrality

 

At the beginning of the summit, Liang Zhou, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Digital Energy, introduced that Huawei Digital Energy integrates digital technology and power electronics technology to provide customers with digital energy products and solutions in areas such as clean power generation, green ICT energy infrastructure, transportation electrification, and comprehensive smart energy.

Regarding the ICT energy sector, he mentioned that although current operators face pressure to reduce emissions and increase energy expenditures, they can fully utilize their energy infrastructure advantages, including physical station locations and power resources. By introducing new energy innovation technologies and solutions, they can expand their business boundaries and move from energy consumers to energy consumers.

 

· Green power production on sites: There are approximately 7.5 million physical communication sites worldwide. With the continuous optimization of photovoltaic power costs and the deployment of distributed photovoltaic systems on sites with good lighting conditions, a good commercial closed-loop can be achieved. This not only saves electricity costs for self use, but also has the opportunity to generate green power revenue.

 

· Station energy storage participating in electricity market auxiliary services: With the increase of global clean energy scale, the demand for electricity market auxiliary services such as peak shaving and frequency regulation is increasing day by day. Among them, as the core infrastructure that responds to auxiliary services in the electricity market, the value and importance of energy storage resources are becoming increasingly prominent. To ensure communication services, operators have already deployed large-scale energy storage resources and upgraded them using intelligent technology. They can add more functions such as staggered power consumption and virtual power plant (VPP) regulation on the basis of a single backup power, achieving value diversification.

 

In addition, existing station sites can construct electric vehicle charging facilities to participate in the global transformation of transportation electrification. Green development has become a global consensus, and operators will follow the trend of energy transformation, integrate into the global zero carbon process, and win in the era of carbon neutrality.

 

Station Energy Target Network Helps Operators Build Green and Low Carbon Networks

 

Global operators are accelerating the evolution of next-generation networks, with a compound annual growth rate of 28% in the market over the next five years. However, as the network evolves, with the growth of traffic, network energy consumption and electricity bills will rise synchronously. In the context of global energy price inflation, if traditional site construction and operation modes are adopted, the increase in energy costs may erode the profit growth brought about by network evolution.

 

Vice President of Huawei Digital Energy Western Europe CTO Michel FRAISSE

 

Vice President of Huawei Digital Energy Western Europe CTO Michel FRAISSE stated that as energy consumers, operators need to use efficient electricity solutions to restructure energy facilities. Therefore, Huawei has proposed the concept of "Site Energy Target Network", creating end-to-end solutions including minimalist station construction, green power supply, and low-carbon operation, to assist operators in building green and low-carbon networks.

 

· Minimalist website construction: By transforming the room into a cabinet and the cabinet into a pole, we promote the evolution of the station's form to a minimalist level. The site area has been reduced from 12 square meters to "0" square meters (blade power supply can be installed by hanging a wall pole); The energy efficiency of the site has increased from 60% to 97%.

· Green power supply: Flexible deployment of photovoltaic systems at stations reduces the use of electricity and oil engines, and clean green electricity becomes the main energy source for operator networks.

· Low carbon operation: Advocate for comprehensive lithium-ion electrification, achieve the transition of station energy storage from simple backup to intelligent energy storage, help operators save energy storage investment and electricity consumption, and release the value of energy storage assets; Utilizing digital technology to create the next generation of energy management systems, achieving efficient energy management across the entire network, with visible, manageable, and optimized energy efficiency and carbon emissions.

 

Huawei releases a full scenario intelligent communication power supply solution

 

Power supply is an important component of the site energy solution and the core hub of power flow, just like the heart of the human body. The difference in power supply will directly affect the efficiency of power consumption at the site. At this event, Huawei Digital Energy Station released the "Huawei Full Scene Intelligent Communication Power Solution" in the energy field, committed to creating an excellent power supply that meets the needs of operators for "one deployment, ten years of evolution".

· Minimalist: Traditional power expansion requires stacking multiple sets of devices, while Huawei's intelligent power supply adopts a fully modular "LEGO style" design, with on-demand configuration and flexible expansion, replacing multiple sets with one set; Extremely high-density, with a volume only 50% of traditional power sources, easy to deploy; Supporting multiple energy inputs and multiple standard outputs, with strong compatibility and high usability, the site can achieve ICT integrated power supply and develop diversified businesses.

· Intelligent: Adopting intelligent air switch, users can freely define the capacity, label, purpose, and grouping of air switches through software; Support functions such as electricity authorization, intelligent metering, backup power slicing, and remote battery testing; Compared with traditional power sources, it is more personalized and greatly improves the flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency of site electricity management.

· Green: The rectification module has an efficiency of up to 98%; The system supports three major hybrid power consumption schemes: electric hybrid, oil hybrid, and optical hybrid, achieving energy-saving and oil removal while improving the green power ratio and reliability of the station; Support load level carbon emission analysis and management to accelerate network carbon reduction.

 

"Green Sites, Wisdom Wins the Future", the Global ICT Energy Efficiency Summit, is committed to promoting the continuous progress of the communication industry on the path of green development. With this international communication and exchange platform, operator customers will be able to better grasp the opportunities of green transformation, achieve a win-win situation of economic benefits and environmental responsibility. Huawei Station Energy deeply cultivates green ICT energy technology and solutions, helps operators build green and low-carbon networks, achieve energy transformation, and jointly promote the industry towards a more sustainable and low-carbon future.
