Energy is the food of industry and the lifeblood of the national economy. In recent years, China has accelerated its green and low-carbon transformation, and achieved leapfrog development in the scale, technology and quality efficiency of new energy. The latest data shows that in 2023, the world's new installed capacity of renewable energy will be 510 million kilowatts, of which China's contribution exceeds 50%. Achieving high-quality development of new energy is a key link in building a beautiful China and improving the level of economic and social development. At the same time, the rapid development of new energy and the "small, scattered, remote and multiple" power generation characteristics it brings have put forward higher requirements for station operation and maintenance.

Recently, Huawei China Partner Conference 2024 was successfully held. In the smart power exhibition area with the theme of "Creating New Value of Digital Intelligent Power" at the conference, Huawei once again attracted attention to the audience with its new products and new solutions in the power digitalization scene-the New Energy Smart Production Management Platform (hereinafter referred to as "Huawei New Energy Centralized Control").

The scene is complex and the blockages are difficult to remove

The "few people, no one" plan is called for

With the development of new energy, regional management nodes are growing exponentially, and operation and maintenance problems follow. The cost of operation and maintenance is greatly increased because of the factors such as the location of new energy power station, huge inspection area, various types and equipment brands, round-the-clock duty and the demand for high-quality talents. General wind field and photovoltaic power station video multi-source, group, regional access is difficult, video terminal manufacturers, many clients, regional video operation is difficult, poor experience, difficult to achieve remote supervision and guidance. In some special scenes such as offshore wind power, the sea ship is the main object of monitoring. if the ship invades the wind field area, it is easy to hit the wind tower base, anchor damage submarine cable and other risks, resulting in huge economic losses. At the same time, in the later data transmission, especially in some remote areas such as offshore wind farms, the anchor is easy to cause optical cable fracture, the depreciation rate of submarine cable equipment is high, the interface is easy to corrode, and the data of public network coverage difference is not transmitted in time. It is difficult to guarantee the safety of operation and maintenance personnel. If you can operate remotely, can you achieve second positioning and fast operation and maintenance? As a result, the industry calls for the "few people and unmanned" operation and maintenance of new energy.

Multiple support treats both symptoms and root causes

New energy intelligent operation and maintenance is about to emerge

Faced with the pain points of new energy in operation monitoring, equipment operation and maintenance, technical support, business interaction, power grid coordination, emergency disposal, security control and asset management, Huawei proposes intelligent new energy centralized control solutions based on the three major functions of video intelligence, centralized control platform and converged network. First, video intelligence. Huawei intelligent video platform provides video access platform and edge AI reasoning platform to support group and regional remote access of million-level video and AI safety production monitoring, and guide on-site production and safety supervision. The second is the centralized control platform. Build a new energy centralized control platform based on Kunpeng to enable the ultimate performance of centralized control applications. Kunpeng server and super integrated machine fully support Kunpeng ecology, adapt to the mainstream centralized control application manufacturers in the industry, provide scene-based and system-wide performance analysis, improve the performance of centralized control applications by 20%, and help accurate remote monitoring in the region. The third is the integration of networks. Provide highly reliable wired + wireless converged network to support intelligent operation and maintenance of new energy stations. The combination of microwave and optical originates to provide long-distance carrier-level wireless transmission in the far-reaching sea, and high-quality Wi- Fi 6 network has no blind area to cover inside and outside the fan, making intelligent operation and maintenance possible. To achieve unmanned, fewer centralized control management, operation and maintenance more efficient and more secure. With the support of digital intelligence, the multi-level video access function can uniformly access millions of videos, open the access to video resources, reduce the difficulty of video call development, and assist the group to achieve remote supervision and guidance. In the wind power industry, for example, even if the installed capacity of wind power tripled and the operator shortfall of the station was nearly 100000 between 2020 and 2030, Huawei's centralized control of new energy would easily cope with this dilemma.

Better operation and maintenance and higher efficiency

Let smart "green power" become a reality

With the superposition of rapid economic development and the era of big data, how can Huawei achieve the dance of "security" and "efficiency"? Referring to the research and innovation we have worked with Huawei to face difficulties in the past few years, Zhou Haichun, deputy general manager of Nanjing Nanzi Huadun Digital Technology Co., Ltd., said with emotion:"We and Huawei have jointly built an industrial Internet integrated platform, which solves the pain point problem that it is difficult to interconnect automation platforms and digital platform information management areas in the traditional power industry. At the same time, corresponding security guarantees have been provided and a major breakthrough has been achieved."

Better operation and maintenance, bring higher efficiency. Guangdong Yue Dian Zhanjiang Wind Power Company's new energy centralized control center is the country's first land-and sea-integrated wind power centralized and control center, which is jointly built by Huawei and solution partner Yueneng Technology. Under the practice of Huawei's centralized control of new energy, relying on the full-stack security and controllable centralized control platform provided by Huawei, it has completed the transformation and upgrading of an intelligent production management center with more than 150000 data points collection, remote centralization of production and intelligent decision-making data, and effectively improve production efficiency and safety management level by ensuring real-time response and efficient scheduling of the system. Deploy a video management platform on the side of the group to uniformly access the million-level multi-source video terminals of the power station, so that the group has "clairvoyance", which can quickly confirm the condition of the fan and provide unified remote supervision and guidance to the power stations across the country. On the regional side, jointly with the centralized control software ISV partners to build a high-performance security controllable centralized control center based on Kunpeng, through access to hundreds of models of the station, the regional remote centralized control is realized, the number of operation and maintenance personnel of the station is reduced from 10 to 2, and the efficiency is increased by 5 times. At the station side, a multi-scene converged network scheme is provided, such as optical + IP power dispatching and integrated data return, high-quality WiFi coverage at the station, high reliable wind power microwave return link, to avoid loss of contact when the original station personnel leave the station and no perception of equipment status, thereby improving the efficiency of patrol and inspection. Now, the world of mathematical intelligence has arrived. The digital transformation of new energy has realized remote centralized control, hierarchical diagnosis, area maintenance and professional maintenance in the management and control mode, and unified platform, data, function and interface in operation and maintenance. realize the integration of scenery, water, fire and storage, and the integration of load and storage of source network. Huawei works with many customers and partners in the field of new energy to create a new energy intelligent production management platform, improve the efficiency of operation and maintenance of new energy stations, realize "digital intelligence world", and bring more intelligent "green power" into reality. promote the digital transformation of the energy industry.
