On December 22, 2023, Beijing ushered in a grand energy and environmental protection event. Many industry leaders, experts, scholars and representatives of energy companies gathered together to discuss the topic of "the integration of digital technology and power electronics technology to help the construction of new power system and modern energy system". Mr. Hou Jinlong, President of Huawei Digital Power Technology***, was invited to deliver a compelling keynote speech, while China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation***, together with Tsinghua University and Huawei Digital Power, jointly launched the "Carbon Neutrality Ecological Partnership Program", aiming to jointly promote green economy and technological innovation, and contribute to the early realization of carbon neutrality. The convening of this forum will undoubtedly become an important step to promote China's energy industry forward.
Hou Jinlong said that with the progress and development of society, carbon neutrality has become a great journey to lead profound changes. Low-carbon, electrification, digitalization, and intelligence have become important trends in the development of the energy industry. Huawei Digital Power is committed to building safe, efficient, green, and intelligent energy solutions through innovative technologies and solutions, helping society move from high-carbon to low-carbon, and ultimately achieve the goal of zero carbon.
In the field of clean power generation, large clean energy bases are regarded as the key main scenarios, and the coordinated development of "wind, solar, water, fire, and hydrogen storage" will be gradually realized. At present, clean energy bases face two major challenges, namely grid-connected security and operational safety. To solve these problems, Huawei Digital Power uses grid-forming technology to build an intelligent photovoltaic storage generator. Through this technology, photovoltaic power generation no longer only follows the power grid, but can support the stable operation of the power grid and accelerate the process of photovoltaic power generation becoming the main energy source.
In terms of the construction of charging facilities, Hou Jinlong emphasized the importance of accelerating the construction of high-quality charging infrastructure. He put forward the construction concept of ultra-fast charging, which solves the problem of electric vehicle charging through "ultra-fast charging" and "wide coverage" and alleviates people's range anxiety. Specifically, he suggested the construction of ultra-fast charging stations in cities and public places to form a 1-kilometer ultra-fast charging circle to meet the charging needs of urban residents. In addition, he mentioned ways to provide green electricity using photovoltaic and energy storage technologies, reduce charging costs and capacity requirements, and enable orderly charging and stable grid operation through virtual power plants and grid ancillary services. He also emphasized the importance of V2G technology, which can provide emergency power supply for cities and ensure the safety of cities. Such a development direction can turn massive new energy vehicles into mobile energy storage, providing flexible resources for the new power system.
Hou Jinlong also introduced Huawei's plan to build more than 100,000 fully liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging piles in more than 340 cities and major highways across the country. By accelerating the construction of charging infrastructure in cities and highways, they are committed to solving the problem of long-distance travel for new energy vehicle owners, and deploying supercharging stations along the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Supercharging Green Corridor to promote the construction of a green and low-carbon cultural and tourism corridor.
Looking to the future, Hou Jinlong is well aware that the road to carbon neutrality requires all parties in the industry to work together. Huawei Digital Power will continue to be committed to integration and innovation, adhere to its position as a technology product company, and work closely with partners to create value for customers and the entire industry chain, and jointly build a green and beautiful future.
