At the 25th Conference of Electric Power Supply Industry (CEPSI 2025) in Singapore, Huawei reaffirmed its pivotal role in shaping the next phase of the global energy transition. As a Gold Sponsor, it joined more than 4,000 industry leaders, government representatives, and technology partners under the theme “Empowering the Energy Transition”, presenting a compelling vision of how digitalization, electrification, and intelligence will redefine the future of energy.
A major highlight was the latest Intelligent Substation Solution, now equipped with AI-based perimeter fiber sensing. This advancement combines optical sensing and artificial intelligence to detect vibrations, anomalies, and intrusions in real time, dramatically improving operational safety while reducing manual inspections. The system’s ability to fuse video and fiber data ensures precise 24/7 perception — an essential foundation for autonomous and resilient substations in a modern grid.
Beyond substations, the company showcased its Intelligent Distribution Solution, designed on a cloud-pipe-edge-device architecture that ensures seamless data flow, reliable communication, and predictive analytics. By integrating High-Performance Line Communication (HPLC) and Edge Computing Units (ECUs), the system provides minute-level visibility into grid performance. Utilities can now detect power theft, manage reverse power from distributed solar, and mitigate line losses — achieving both operational efficiency and sustainability.
The event also placed strong emphasis on the interconnection between digital grids, e-mobility, and energy storage — the three pillars of a carbon-neutral energy ecosystem. As electric vehicles increasingly serve as both a means of transport and distributed energy resources, the intelligent power infrastructure supports vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration and fast-charging networks. Reliable, low-latency communication networks, powered by fgOTN and IPv6 Advanced technologies, enable EVs and charging infrastructure to interact dynamically with the grid, optimizing load management and ensuring energy stability during peak demand.
Collaborating across the energy ecosystem, Huawei brought together a broad community of energy leaders, government representatives, and customers at CEPSI 2025. Roundtables such as the IDS Club and the APAC Energy Power Partner Forum, along with visits to Huawei OpenLab, fostered joint solution design and regional capability building. This collaboration-first approach underscores how digitalization efforts are advanced with partners—rather than through any single vendor alone.
On AI’s role, Jacky Wang, Vice President of the Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit, emphasized that “real‑time and high‑quality data are essential to get the most out of AI, while highly reliable communication networks are the foundation for real‑time, high‑quality data.” He added, “Computing power is the foundation of AI, electricity is the ceiling of computing power and AI is the future of electricity.” These principles guide joint work with partners to build reliable, data‑rich grids ready for intelligent applications at scale.
In the power generation domain, the Intelligent Power Plant architecture leverages IoT, AI, big data, and digital twins to enable real-time sensing, proactive maintenance, and intelligent control — transforming plants into adaptive, data-driven ecosystems that are cleaner and more efficient.
Throughout CEPSI 2025, Huawei reinforced that digitalization and intelligence are not optional — they are the foundation of the future energy economy. By converging computing power, electricity, and AI, Huawei envisions an integrated energy world where grids, vehicles, and storage systems operate in perfect synergy — driving a smarter, safer, and greener future for all.
