Huawei launches Green 1-2-3 Solution for energy efficiency in ICT technologies

During the Huawei Green ICT Summit in Barcelona, the Chinese tech maker launched the Green 1-2-3 Solution for energy efficiency and the development of ICT technologies.

In the “Green 1-2-3” solution, Huawei explains “1” a set of indicator systems around green development and network construction, “2” means taking into account two scenarios of high energy efficiency and ultra-low energy consumption, and “3” means a three-layer systematic solution from site, network, and operation construction plan.

Peng Song, President of ICT Strategy & Marketing of Huawei, delivered a keynote speech entitled “Green & Development, Choosing Not to Choose”.

The ICT industry seems to be faced with the tough choice to either go green or develop. However, we believe the industry can choose not to choose, and instead go green and develop simultaneously ” Peng said.

Peng Song believes that we can gradually establish the balance between ICT greenness and development by taking into account the three dimensions of energy efficiency, renewable energy utilization rate, and user experience. At the MWC 2023 exhibition, Huawei will also launch solutions based on these concepts, contributing to the green development of ICT basic networks.

Energy efficiency

By focusing on improving network energy efficiency to simultaneously reducing absolute energy consumption. For low-load scenarios, the multi-dimensional shutdown technology can be used to realize intelligent shutdown not only in the frequency domain and time domain but also in various dimensions such as channel and power.

For ultra-low load scenarios, establish “extreme sleep” of equipment. For example, by adopting new materials and new processes to solve the problem of condensation and low temperature when the AAU hardware is shut down, and only keep the power module on standby, so that the power consumption of the AAU is very low. Reduced from 300W to below 10W.

Dimension of renewable energy:

The scale of green power deployment to taking into account the efficiency of renewable energy use. In terms of space, the refinement of one network, one policy to one site, one policy will improve the accuracy of renewable energy deployment.

In terms of time, intelligent dispatching from the day level to the minute level is realized, and the economic and green benefits of renewable energy are maximized. Obtain multi-dimensional information such as weather, electricity price, battery status, and business volume of the site through perception, and use intelligent scheduling algorithms to achieve optimal power generation efficiency, comprehensive power cost, and load-based power availability for the entire site.

User experience:

From focusing only on network energy saving and KPI guarantee to taking into account user experience guarantee at the same time. Arrange optimal energy-saving strategies for different network scenarios: in low-traffic scenarios, the most basic network KPIs are guaranteed to maximize energy saving and in high-traffic scenarios, user experience is also guaranteed. Experience-driven is upgraded to data-driven, realizing minute-level energy-saving policy generation and millisecond-level optimization policy delivery.
