yu zhanqing delivered an expert presentation titled “dc equipment technology for new power system requirements”, covering topics such as the practical needs of the power system, power system architecture, ac/dc integration, flexible interconnection, and flexible reconstruction of urban power grids. he provided a comprehensive explanation of new technologies, including modular multilevel converters based on igct and dc energy-consuming devices for fault crossing.
mr. yu zhanqing delivered an expert report
during the technical exchange session, several engineering doctoral students presented on various topics related to “ultra-large city energy ecology services network research and practice,” “the construction of china’s spot power market,” “reflections and practices on the construction of a new generation dispatching technology support system,” “research on new power system source-grid-load optimization scheduling decision-making methods for reliable power supply,” “research progress in hybrid aircraft electric propulsion and energy integrated management technology,” and “design progress of dual-frequency coil for supercharged c13 mri scanning.” the presentations covered a wide range of topics, including the comprehensive implementation of the new development concept under the background of the “dual carbon” goal, coordination of development and security, the role of new energy in ensuring and increasing energy supply, and the promotion of the construction of a new power system.
engineering doctoral candidates liu wentao, liang zhifeng, liu jinbo, zhang zhi, xiao wei, hui yannian, and zhou jie gave presentations
in the technical exchange segment, key technical personnel from the bpeg shared insights on topics such as the “source-grid-load-energy storage smart industrial park,” “research and development of hydrogen production equipment by water electrolysis,” and “development of a 300mw compressed air energy storage turbo expander.” they showcased achievements, discussed key research directions and main work in technical research and product development, and introduced project backgrounds, technical features, current development status, equipment development, implementation plans, system architecture, production capacity, engineering applications, and future development plans and strategic layouts.
liu chengzhu, chen yan, and wang e from bpeg conducted technical presentations
following the forum, participants visited bpeg’s cultural corridor, smart industrial park with integrated source-grid-load-energy storage, 8mw-level alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production test platform, power electronics test hall, ultra-high-voltage reactor production workshop, and turbine and hydrogen electrolysis tank production workshop. the 10th engineering doctoral forum organized by eea achieved complete success.
