MWC23 Highlights and Electric Power: Paving a Digital Road for the New Power System



It's been 1 month since Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2023. Nearly 90,000 people attended in person plus many more via the online feeds.


As announced in our Pre-MWC23 video, I caught up with Edwin Diender, CIO Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit, Huawei Enterprise Business Group to discuss his MWC23 highlights.


We spoke about:


➡️ Edwin MWC23 highlights (01:23 - 07:50)

➡️ Are face-to-face events still important? (07:51 - 14:25)

➡️ Updates from the Electric Power department (14:26 - 21:50)


Huawei says is committed to becoming the best transition partner for the global electric power industry. Laying a digital platform and establishing an ecosystem of industry partners — a strategy coined as platform + ecosystem — Huawei integrates innovative Information Communications Technology (ICT) and digital power platforms with best industry practices to build its solution system for the electric power industry.


During our chat, Edwin shared a few of their electric power solutions:


Solution 1: Intelligent Wind Power Network

End-to-end network connections for wind farm, step-up substation, O&M

centers, implementing unmanned and intelligent wind power inspection.


Solution 2: Intelligent Substation Inspection

Innovative IT technologies are integrated with OT systems to implement multi-dimensional,

real-time sensing of devices and environments of substations.


Solution 3: Power Distribution IoT

Based on the industry's specific hardware platform and software app architecture,to

implement flexible access for various services and ensure power grid security.


Solution 4: Electric Power Wireless Campus Network

Using loT, Wi-Fi 6, SD-WAN, and Al technologies, build a secure, reliable, and smart 0&M campus network.


If you want to know more about how Electric Power moves further, I suggest watching the "Electric Power | Find the Right Technologies to Power Global Energy Transition session" led by Edwin during MWC23


Speakers included:

  • Nikos Hatziargyriou,Professor of National Technical University of Athens

  • Zhou Haojie, COO Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit Huawei

  • Darmawan Prasodjo, CEO PT PLN
