The 7th ICT Energy Efficiency Summit was held in Bordeaux, France, with the theme “Green Site, Brighter Future”. Top carriers and tower vendors, research institutes, standards organizations, and other key stakeholders around the world gathered and exchanged views about green transformation in the telecom industry.
The participants include Huawei Digital Power, China Southern Power Grid, Nano Energies, Orange, Telefónica, China Tower, China Mobile Design Institute, MIESCOR Infrastructure Development Corporation (MIDC), Imperial College London, GSMA, International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and Spanish Solar Photovoltaic Association (UNEF). The weighty topics of this event include how to accelerate the construction of green and low-carbon networks and unleash site potential through new modes such as the virtual power plant (VPP).
Dr Fang Liangzhou, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Digital Power Technology Co., Ltd. said in his keynote speech that although carriers are under the pressure of emission reduction and higher energy costs, they can leverage their physical sites and power resources to increase revenues. For example, they can deploy distributed PV systems onsite and connect site energy storage to VPP for peak staggering or build EV charging facilities at existing sites. Green development has become a global campaign. Carriers’ positioning is changing from energy consumers to energy consumers, producers, and enablers. Huawei is committed to integrating digital and power electronics technologies to help carriers succeed amid the global transition to carbon neutrality.
Huawei launches the Smart VPP Solution
Now different industries around the world are striving to become carbon neutral and resorting to electrification, which brings volatility to the power grid. Meanwhile, the ever-increasing proportion of renewable energy poses risks to the power grid. To address the issues, the virtual power plant (VPP) can be deployed to aggregate and schedule distributed load resources to enhance power grid stability. VPPs have high requirements on the total scale and response capability (speed, time segment, and precision) of accessed distributed resources.
Based on unique intelligent algorithms and high-performance hardware, Huawei launched a smart VPP solution featuring simple, intelligent, and comprehensive. The solution is able to meet diversified scheduling requirements and is future-proof for new trends. VPP was one of the hottest topics of this summit.

In the future, Huawei Digital Power will continue to help carriers build green and low-carbon networks and work with partners from different industries to provide innovative solutions and facilitate green transformation.
