Everything is smarter than Huawei

"What is the origin of the world?" In this planet where human civilization is constantly advancing, wise people of different eras have given answers.

Everything is bit "It from bit", that is, the physical universe originated from information, which was proposed by the famous American physicist and the name of the black hole, John Archibald Wheeler, in the sixth chapter of "At Home in Universe" completed in 1989, "Beyond The Black Hole", which was in the momentum of the information revolution.

In 1945, the electron tube computer was born, which was large and slow to calculate. In 1971, the tubes in the Apollo moon landing program were replaced by transistors, which reduced in size and increased computing power. With a series of scientific and technological advances such as integrated circuits, commercial microprocessors, and the birth of the first portable computer, as well as scientists such as Shannon, who proposed Moore's Law, John, who is a bit of everything, and Bohr, who is the "smoke of numbers", the curtain of the "big bang of knowledge" information revolution opened.

"Digital Smoke", seeing the world from a bit's perspective

John Archibald Wheeler emphasized the significance of observation, and he and the scientists led by Bohr believed that when the world is not observed, it is just a large pile of "digital smoke" (probability waves or possibilities), in which time, space, matter, and energy are immersed, and people use "observation" to create their own reality. The materialized nature and the digitized nature are more and more deeply integrated under the information and communication technology, and atomic biting is an important feature of the intelligent world.

In the field of electric power, with the evolution of communication technology from analog communication to digital communication, optical fiber communication, Internet, wireless communication and satellite communication have developed rapidly, and communication networks have evolved to a large-capacity, high-bandwidth, wide-coverage, high-connection, low-latency, high-reliability, heterogeneous fusion and customizable "air-space-earth-sea" collaborative integrated communication network. At the same time, power information technology continues to innovate, chips to ultra-large-scale integration, high-performance direction of development, computing speed from single-core capability to distributed computing transformation, storage space is getting larger and larger, network continues to evolve in the direction of cloud platform, for the continuous intelligent development of power system to build a solid digital base.

Huawei is committed to promoting the digital transformation of the power industry, and puts forward the vision of jointly building a power digital world with deep integration of bits and watts, which is to see power from the perspective of bits. The video "The Journey of Electricity" embodies Huawei's ability to provide one-stop digital transformation solutions in source, network, load and storage through the creative expression of the journey by showing the intelligent capabilities that Bit gives Watt "perception", "prediction", "insight", "thinking", "learning" and "love", carrying Huawei's core concept of making power smarter.

In a gust of wind, in a ray of light

I was born

Bits give me wisdom

A journey of endless possibilities begins

Walk through mountains, forests and valleys

I can perceive predictions

Even dangerous places are smooth

I love to be discerning

If someone calls

I will be with millions of companions

Rush today

Spread the news to thousands of households

Synergy turns uncertainty into certainty

I'm good at thinking

It's not just about reaching your potential every step of the way

It is even more necessary to identify the risks lurking in disorderly changes in a timely manner

Avoid in advance and move forward steadily

I am passionate about giving

The city is asleep, and I am still full of energy

For those who are weary, late, walking in the dark

Dedicate a little light, a piece of safety

I will also learn

Learn to make ordinary life enjoyable

After a long journey, I finally understood

Love is always there for you, when you need it

Let every choice be responsive

Love requires timely communication

Respond to everyone behind you

No matter when and where the other person is

My journey is far from over

Wisdom makes my future infinitely more possible

"Blind Watchmaker", complexity is not formed in a day

Power systems are the most complex man-made systems. In July 1882, China's first thermal power plant, the Zhapu Road Thermal Power Plant of Shanghai Dianguang Company, officially generated electricity, turning the first page of China's power industry construction. After 1949, New China successively built many power plants, which basically allowed urban residents to use electricity. By the beginning of the 21st century, the national electricity rate reached 99%. In 2006, the first 1 million kilowatt supercritical unit in mainland China was connected to the grid at Huaneng Yuhuan Power Plant. In 2009, China's first UHV transmission line, the 1,000 kV UHV AC transmission line from Jindongnan in Shanxi to Jingmen in Hubei Province, was put into operation. In 2013, the International Electrotechnical Commission believed that China's construction of the world's highest voltage level and strongest transmission capacity of ac transmission projects is an important milestone in the history of the development of the power industry, and China's leading position in the field of ULTRAV transmission in the world has since been established.

Also in the field of power information and communication, "control" expands from the local to the whole area, "control" extends from the backbone to the end, and the information "collection" explodes: the interaction between the meter and the power grid, massive non-metered information; demand-side response, equal interaction of users; the collection point is moved down, the energy terminal is metered with the device; the collection frequency and real-time are improved (15ms), the "new energy" (solar, wind, distributed energy storage), and the "new business" (EV charging pile, smart park, smart home) are connected to the scale. New demands (condition monitoring, real-time perception, closed-loop control) are emerging.

China's primary and secondary power systems have undergone a process from weak to strong, from simple to complex, and only then have the world's largest power grid with world-class power supply reliability and serving 18% of the world's population. With the strategy of double carbon and the construction of a new power system, electric power people have a new goal to continue to overcome difficulties. The new power system requires a significant improvement of the support capacity of information and communication for power grid business, and requires high speed, real-time and reliability to achieve comprehensive perception and full online, which puts forward new requirements for the capacity of information communication and its extensiveness, openness, interactivity, intelligence and credibility.

The famous British evolutionary biologist Dawkins used "Blind Watchmaker" to refute the "creator theory" ("blind" metaphorical evolution has no prophetic direction, random mutation). The "clocks" are exquisite and accurate, ingenious, and the "creator" believes that the creator controls the movement of the world like a watchmaker. In fact, human evolution, more like a blind watchmaker, disassembles complex systems into the tiniest parts, without a pre-drawn blueprint, but through the superposition of continuous error correction processes to reach today's level of complexity, thus demonstrating the correctness of the "theory of evolution".

For example, G.652 optical fiber restricts the development of the system to high speed, G.653 optical fiber restricts the development of multi-channel multi-division multiplexing, and G.654 optical fiber and G.655 optical fiber have greater advantages in loss, long-distance transmission and other convenience. The emergence of data torrents, large-capacity optical fiber communication plays a huge role, through the comparison of SDH, OTN, PTN and other technologies, comprehensive bandwidth granularity, security and other factors, it is determined that SDH and OTN technology is the most ideal choice for power transmission networks, and has been widely used in power backbone networks. Huawei's optical transmission products have been deployed in China's UHV, interprovincial backbone, provincial backbone, and prefectural and municipal transmission and transformation communication networks, and its innovative features such as large bandwidth, ultra-long distance, lightning protection, 2M optical relay protection, ASON, and TSDN are ranked first in the world.

In terms of system complexity and data processing capabilities, from microcontrollers, numerical control, DCS, SCADA, EMS, stability control, to electrical information acquisition; processor frequency from KHz, has developed to above GHz; GPU, chip, quantum chip, with the improvement of computing and storage capabilities, analysis algorithms are also constantly evolving, perceptrons, BP neuron networks, expert systems, support vector machines, deep learning, deep reinforcement learning, adversarial learning, etc., fully illustrate that intelligence is not formed in a day.

In the future, emerging digital technologies will penetrate and affect the construction of new power systems, promote the complementary application of multiple energies, the coordinated development of source networks, loads and storage, and help achieve the goals of clean and low-carbon, safe and reliable, intelligent and flexible, and cost-effective. With the in-depth development of cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, mobile communications, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other ICT technologies, digitalization has become a key production factor in this era and the basic competitiveness of enterprises, the application of digital technology will be written into the genes of enterprises, more and more elements of informatization, and the more likely those who are good at using digital technology are "naturally selected", the opposite will be gradually eliminated.

A real network, a virtual world

Human beings cannot live without dreams, and the metacosm is the "reality" that many people dream of. For example, in the future, you can dance "Dangerous" with the holograms of historical superstars anytime, anywhere. For example, one day you feel physically ill, but you have to attend a speech in the afternoon, and your AI assistant can instantly write a speech that even goes beyond your own knowledge field based on previous information, and attend and preach in the image of you when you were 28 years old. For example, you are invited by a friend to go skiing together, but you are worried about how to quickly improve your skiing skills, in the future metaverse world, you can always call up the hologram of the gold coach, according to your problem on the spot to teach how to parallel skating.

In the power industry, with the digital twin, virtual reality technology more and more mature, as well as a variety of information technology, equipment improvement, virtual reality technology in the power system application will be more and more extensive, for example, the traditional power monitoring system (such as data acquisition and monitoring control system) is generally based on the two-dimensional configuration system construction, its operation flow chart is mainly two-dimensional primary wiring diagram, with two-dimensional graphic symbols to display all the electrical equipment and circuits in the substation, for the dispatch, centralized control center to provide instantaneous power (three-phase current, Three voltages, active power, reactive power, active power, reactive power, power factor, frequency, etc.), the operating status of each circuit breaker, the fault condition of each circuit and other real-time information. In the future, all the information will be presented in three-dimensional form, you can immerse yourself in the substation thousands of miles away, at any time to view a variety of real-time data, research, maintenance and so on.

Behind such a fascinating "metacosmic" virtual world, a real network is needed. Huawei is building an intelligent world of interconnection from four aspects: "ubiquitous connectivity," "omnipresent intelligence," "personalized experience," and "digital platform."

Taking the power industry as an example, in terms of ubiquitous connectivity: Huawei has helped the State Grid build an ultra-high-speed, high-capacity 100G OTN power communication network digital infrastructure, and fully serve the digital transformation of the State Grid and the construction of new power systems.

In terms of all-encompassing intelligence: Huawei and its partners jointly created the "four noes" ecological camera transmission intelligent inspection solution, and its self-organized network and other characteristics provide an overall solution for China Southern Power Grid to reduce the risk of external breakage in multiple cross-border scenarios in Zhongshan and solve the problem of inspection video backhaul in the blind area covered by the Diqing public network, and become a global power transmission intelligent inspection model point. In the field of smart dispatching, Huawei built a distributed energy dispatching group management group control solution based on the core technology of "5G + edge computing", helping Shandong Power Grid to take the lead in realizing "5G direct mining direct control" and "multi-service fusion intelligent APP" in business scenarios such as "10kV new energy stations, large-load users, local power plants and small thermal power", and creating the first pilot pilot pilot of intelligent dispatching with the characteristics of a new power system in China.

In terms of personalized experience: Huawei and the State Grid Xi'an Power Supply Corporation jointly created a power protection emergency command plan, through huawei's ISDP+ digital operation platform, access to 300+ points concurrent intelligent wearable video, to achieve on-site panoramic real-time monitoring, dynamic controllability of resources, emergency intelligent judgment, on-site penetration command, and help the "FourteenTh Luck" intelligent power preservation.

In terms of digital platforms: Huawei and its partners released the "Smart Power Plant" solution to build innovative integration solutions for "one network", "one platform", and "multi-dimensional intelligent analysis" at Ningzhou Power Plant, and continue to build a smart power plant digital platform base for power plant enterprises nationwide.

All things are bits, bits are the units of measurement information, information is uncertainty, is the degree of difficulty, is entropy, communication is to eliminate uncertainty, the history of human progress in civilization, to a large extent, is the history of improving the efficiency of information dissemination. Huawei's endowment advantage is connectivity and computing, if the universe is a huge information processor, Huawei is making virtual certainty offset the uncertainty of reality through ubiquitous connections, through omnipresent intelligence to achieve everything is just the universe is running algorithm, in the future intelligent world of digital base, must be engraved with Huawei's shining mark.
