Huawei was awarded the WSIS 2022 Prizes Champion for their implementation of an intelligent net-zero carbon campus solution at the Yancheng Low-carbon & Smart Energy Industrial Park project. This award was given out to 996 initiatives, and the selection process took five months.
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is the world’s largest yearly gathering of the ICT for Development community. The ITU, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and other UN institutions and WSIS action plan facilitators are co-organizing the event, which aims to advance global sustainable development goals. In 18 categories, including information and communication infrastructure, e-government, e-environment, e-health, and e-agriculture, the WSIS Rewards competition provides prizes for exceptional sustainability projects. In this year’s environment category, Huawei’s intelligent net-zero carbon campus solution was nominated.
Huawei and the Yancheng Power Supply Company, a part of China’s State Grid Corporation, collaborated on the Yancheng Park project. For energy transformation, decarbonization, and digital transformation, the project employs a triple-dimensional model. This project provides real-time monitoring of energy equipment, strong carbon emission management, intelligent and convenient access control management, and intelligent and coordinated micro-grid control by focusing on the three scenarios of smart energy management, carbon management, and campus management. The campus is fueled by renewable energy sources and has an energy consumption system that is integrated with on-campus terminals. The project is a showcase of an intelligent and low-carbon campus that contributes to a new energy system that is green, low-carbon, safe, and efficient.
