on the afternoon of march 25, yan xinrong, general manager of huadian electric power research institute, and his entourage of 11 people visited the department of electrical engineering and applied electronics. eight teachers including yu zhanqing, deputy dean of the department of electrical engineering and applied electronics, and gao wensheng, executive vice president of the energy internet innovation institute of tsinghua university, participated in the reception. the two sides exchanged their views on the demands, cooperation models and project implementation of scientific research.
yan xinrong firstly introduced the current positioning, responsibilities and future development direction of huadian electric power research institute. he said that the electric power research institute aims to solve the needs of huadian group’s production line, and implement the needs through projects and scientific research subjects. he hoped that the two sides can cooperate closely, enhance technical exchanges and be more pragmatic.
yu zhanqing welcomed the visit of yan xinrong and his entourage. he introduced the scientific research fields and future development directions of the department of electrical engineering and applied electronics of tsinghua university, and introduced the constitution of “one department and two institutes”, namely the department of electrical engineering and applied electronics, the energy internet innovation research institute of tsinghua university and tsinghua sichuan energy internet research institute, he hoped the department can make in-depth exchanges with huadian electric power research institute and explore more cooperation possibilities.
subsequently, tian xin, director of huadian electric power research institute, introduced the scientific and technological innovation and research results of the electric power research institute. he said that the electric power research institute is mainly divided into three sections: “supervision section”, “scientific research section” and “business section”, and he explained the relationship among the three in detail, so as to achieve the combination of “production, study, research and application”.
next, professor gao wensheng introduced the organizational structure and latest scientific research progress of the energy internet innovation research institute. cheng lin, director of the energy internet planning and design research center, chen ying, deputy director of the safety and efficiency technology research center, associate professor xu fei, and associate professor zhao biao introduced the research fields, development directions and related achievements of the research teams of the department of electrical engineering and applied electronics, including digital energy storage, battery cascade utilization, optimization and regulation of new power systems, research and development of key equipment, digital twin technology, flexible thermal power transformation technology, semiconductor devices and dc power grid technology.
having listened to the introduction of relevant achievements, various departments of the electric power research institute put forward corresponding scientific research needs and cooperation intentions according to their own conditions, hoping to have more in-depth communication and cooperation in the future. yan xinrong proposed that both sides have broad space for cooperation in the fields of energy storage, thermal power, hydropower, new energy access, and flexibility transformation. finally, the two sides reached a consensus on the cooperation mechanism between the university and the enterprise, hoping to reach substantive cooperation as soon as possible.
in addition to the offline representatives of both parties, more than 10 representatives from the hangzhou headquarters of huadian electric power research institute participated in the symposium online.
