From December 8 to 9, thousands of domestic and foreign experts, scholars and makers of Nanwang gathered in Guangzhou to conduct in-depth discussions and exchanges on hot topics such as smart grid, smart energy, power grid cutting-edge technology and energy reform under the theme of "Smart energy leads the future". In this exhibition hall of scientific and technological achievements and new technologies, there are not only VR and AR technology application products, robots and unmanned helicopters for the power industry, but also the wireless power supply methods of electric vehicles and the improvement results of safety equipment of Nanwang makers.

"The atmosphere of innovation is blowing in my face!" This is what Wang Wei, director of the Industrial Development Promotion Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, felt most directly when he attended the 2016 China Southern Power Grid International Technology Forum.

Makerspaces are gradually opening up

In recent years, the company has increased its investment in technological innovation and created a strong atmosphere of mass entrepreneurship and innovation.

"The short film on the forum promoting the company's technological development was very impressive and great." Zhu Wenji, a maker from Guangxi Academy of Electric Power Sciences of China Southern Power Grid Corporation, said that this is her third time to attend an international technology forum, and every time has a different feeling. The reports of academicians and experts are very wonderful, with different horizons and heights. The award of science and technology workers, behind the hard work, they are the power of the example, always motivate themselves.

Chen Haiping, the monitor of the high-voltage experimental class in Hexi Power Station of Sanya Power Supply Bureau of Hainan Power Grid Company, set up his own studio. His "10 kV outdoor connectors can touch the cable head of the new grounding device" in a corner of the exhibition hall, but attracted the attention of Chairman Li Qingkui, general manager Cao Zhian. Said Chen, 2014, sanya power supply bureau has increased a lot ring network cabinet, according to the traditional way, always meet not up, and then himself and studio colleagues spent more than a year, through the relationship between the nut and screw, developed a new type grounding device, improve the safety performance of the equipment, staff also sharply reduce operation time. "Company leaders can see our demonstration of this safety tool here, which shows that the company attaches great importance to production safety, and it is also a great encouragement to our grassroots staff." Chen Haiping said.

At the forum, the first prize winner of 2016 Science and Technology Forum paper works of China Southern Power Grid Corporation read the paper content on the stage. The research and development team led by Wang Zhen of UHV company won the first prize of the forum with the paper "Cause Analysis and Countermeasure Research of Abnormal Conduction Event of Siemens Electrically triggered Converter Valve", which stood out from more than 1,800 papers. He told reporters that the award is mainly derived from production, service to production. When I first found out the reason, I was very excited, because it took more than a year, which was not easy, he said, "The leader asked us to write this paper to share with everyone, so as to provide a reference and example for future production and writing of the paper." His deepest feeling is that "we are afraid of difficulties in the process of production, but we are going to face the difficulties, is to insist, we persevere to find, and indeed found the reason."

Guangdong power grid company Jiangmen power Supply Bureau substation management two deputy monitor Zhou Yifeng did not expect that their research and development of small tools can also win awards. It is understood that the "development of GW4 disassembly tool for disconnection of disconnection switch" developed by Zhou Yifeng and his crew won the first prize of the company's 2016 employee Technology Innovation Award, and successfully applied for a national patent. The application of this technology reduces the time of maintenance of a knife gate from 120 minutes to 42 minutes, and improves work efficiency. "Given the platform above, we can create something according to the equipment invention, improve the work efficiency, so that their own life is less, the benefit is higher." Zhou says he now has at least one technology project in hand every year.

In 2016, the company's system won 11 first prizes for national electric power workers' technical achievements and 2,387 newly authorized patents, both of which set a record.

Breakthrough of "bottleneck" in achievement transformation

At the forum, Xi 'an Jiaotong University's Intelligent robot team brought a drone they developed. Yan Dapeng, a member of the research and development team, believes that artificial intelligence is bound to be one direction in the future. Although this product has not yet entered the China Southern Power Grid market, it is believed that in the near future, this UAV with advantages of path planning, accurate positioning and fault identification will be able to "play a big role" in equipment inspection.

The VR training products tailored by Nanwang Media Company for Yunfu Power Supply Bureau also attracted many participants to watch and experience. By wearing the VR headset, the employees participating in the training can get the immersive feeling like the on-site version of the operation, and through the information system, the seamless connection between the background and the front is realized, which makes people sigh the power of technology. He Shuangbo, specialized in Training and Evaluation Center of Guangdong Power Grid Company, believes that there used to be three-dimensional simulation, which is a basis. Now, with the development of VR and AR technology, the whole operation scene can be constructed virtually, and its application prospect is very broad.

Shen Tuo, founder of the Internet + Research Institute, threw out a series of Internet ideas at the forum, which is rich in imagination. He believes that the obstacles to the commercialization of technology are nothing more than five aspects, namely: user understanding is not in place, scene grasp is not clear, product positioning is not accurate, value proposition is not clear, operation and promotion is not systematic. He argues that the key to the transformation of elephants and the growth of ants is to rely on the transformation of thinking and the acceleration of cognition to turn science and technology into productivity.

In this regard, Yu Jianguo, deputy chief engineer and director of Science and Technology Department of China Southern Power Grid Corporation, said in an interview with reporters that a series of scientific and technological achievements will be produced in the company's production and operation, scientific and technological research and development, and technological innovation of employees. The effective use of these scientific and technological achievements, To improve the company's safe operation level, improve the company's operational efficiency, improve the company's operating level, support the company's sustainable development has a significant role. The company actively promotes the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into productive forces by publishing the annual Catalogue of Key Scientific and technological Achievements Promoted and Introduced by China Southern Power Grid Corporation every year. In 2016, the company issued the Guiding Opinions on the Implementation of equity Conversion and Division of Labor Incentive for Scientific and technological Achievements, so that the efforts of scientific and technological personnel can be rewarded and recognized, and the enthusiasm and creativity of all kinds of talents can be mobilized.

It is reported that the company's scientific and technological achievements into the "bottleneck" gradually cracked. For example, Guangdong Power Grid Company has established a scientific and technological achievements transformation center, established a achievements incubation and promotion organization system, formulated supporting systems to transform R&D personnel's innovative labor contracts into income docking, and established a scientific and technological achievements database. In 2016, 10 achievements were transformed and 39 transformation contracts were signed, with an amount of 13.787 million yuan. South academy established achievements, the office made the achievements management approach, incentive scheme, feasibility evaluation standards, and actively carry out the national power grid companies, France electricity company project cooperation and technical exchanges, to take the STATCOM system analysis, India's power grid for the overseas technical output zero breakthrough.

China Southern Grid's current capacity, about 240 gigawatts or so of installed power, is actually equivalent to the capacity of Britain and France combined, and equivalent to the installed power system of one and a half Germany. China Southern Power Grid has built the world's most complex grid with a mix of AC and DC, and it works so well, which is no mean feat.

In my opinion, China Southern Power Grid Corporation has its own characteristics, that is, it has always adhered to the correct scientific research direction and development direction, which also proves that it is in line with the trend of international power technology development.

 China Southern Power Grid Corporation should seize these opportunities by vigorously developing energy Internet, focusing on centralization and decentralization, and focusing on decentralization. These are all new ideas, which also sum up our experience and lessons of the past ten years, especially the 12th Five-Year Plan. While maintaining the safety of the power system, we must focus more on improving the quality and efficiency of our system. There is still much room for further efforts in this area. Therefore, I hope that our industry-university-research cooperation with China Southern Power Grid Corporation will continue to deepen and do better, and that China Southern Power Grid Corporation will make greater and more remarkable contributions in the "four revolutions" of energy.
