- Huawei Releases White Paper on All-Optical Electric Power Communications Network, Accelerating Digital Transformation of Electric Power

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- At HUAWEI CONNECT 2022 Dubai, during the Huawei Global Electric Power Summit themed "Unleashing Digital and Creating New Value for Electric Power", Huawei published the White Paper on the Architecture and Technologies of All-Optical Power Communication Networks to Facilitate the Digital Transformation of the Power Industry.

Jason Li, Director of Marketing and Sales Solutions, Huawei Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit, delivered a speech in which he stressed that the electric communication network is the foundation for automatic power grid dispatch, customer-oriented network operations, market and modernized management. He also pointed out that such a network is an important means to ensure the safe, stable and economical operation of the power grid, as well as the core infrastructure of the power system. The White Paper, published by Huawei, describes how to build an intelligent optical foundation for electrical communication networks based on the all-optical architecture. It also aims to help the electric power industry meet digital challenges, meet the technical requirements for digital transformation, and accelerate digital transformation.

The digital transformation of the electric power industry requires the power communication network to inherit the hard pipe technology used in production network services - such as SCADA, security and stability system, and teleprotection - to ensure a high reliability and deterministic low latency of the production network. In addition, the power communication network must also be able to carry future-oriented services, such as situational awareness and IoT, to improve the scalability of network bandwidth and the flexibility of multi-service support. With the development of the fifth generation (F5G) fixed network, the optical service unit (OSU), as fifth generation native hard pipe (NHP) technology, takes the best of SDH and OTN technologies. It supports ultra-high bandwidth beyond 100G, and provides service access capabilities from 2Mbit/s to 100Gbit/s, meeting the needs of both production network services and future-oriented services. These strengths make OSU the preferred solution for building digital power networks and upgrading SDH networks.

According to the White Paper, OSU technology is integrated into the backbone network, power transmission and transformation network, and power substation/distribution network to implement highly secure carrying of network services at each layer. The architecture implements single-hop E2E transmission from the substation/power distribution network to the backbone, making the NHP all-optical architecture the optimal power communication network architecture. Specifically, the NHP all-optical architecture of the power communication network has the following characteristics:

Huawei has been working in the field of optical networks for nearly 30 years and has held the largest market share in the global optical network market for 13 consecutive years. Huawei makes full use of its technological strength to continuously explore the electric power industry. Together with the upstream and downstream stages of the industrial chain, Huawei has provided secure, stable, and reliable all-optical communication network solutions for countries and regions such as China, Thailand, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, and Austria, accelerating the digital transformation of the electric power industry and reshaping industry productivity.
