Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power, delivered an insightful keynote speech at the event. According to Mr. Hou, the booming AI industry, widely adopted large models, and numerous AI agents are creating huge energy demands. Energy is the foundation for long-term AI development. Computing and electricity will empower each other, building an integrated framework that brings together new power systems and AI infrastructure. Grid-friendliness is vital for long-term, reliable, and stable operations. High-voltage, DC, and power-electronic architectures are critical to support ultra-high-density computing loads. Additionally, liquid cooling has become mandatory for ultra-high-density computing. Reliable liquid cooling solutions and full-lifecycle intelligent O&M are key. Moreover, the essence of AIDC is a computing power production system, where delivery speed is closely tied to business benefits and investment returns.

Huawei Digital Power deeply integrates bit, watt, heat, and battery (4T) technologies, and focuses on key fields such as new power systems and AIDC. It has established comprehensive capabilities in renewable power generation, grid forming, high-density computing power supply, liquid cooling, and computing-electricity synergy. Amidst significant industry transformation opportunities, Huawei Digital Power is committed to becoming an AIDC innovation leader and a long-term, trusted strategic partner. By cooperating with global customers and partners, it aims to promote high-quality, sustainable, and innovative development of the AIDC industry to achieve greener watts, more tokens per watt, and lower costs per token.
Bob He, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power, delivered a keynote speech entitle "Building Grid-Interactive AIDC, Maximizing Tokens Per Watt." According to Mr. He, the global AI industry is booming, causing token demand to surge. High-density and diversified computing poses great challenges to the power density, scale, and load fluctuation of AIDC. Moreover, the growing pe*******on of renewable energy intensifies power grid fluctuations, while the frequent heavy-load fluctuations of AI services further compound AIDC reliability challenges.
