Shanghai Electric released its academic/technological program lists of the 2020 “Technology Innovation Action Plan” not long ago.
The program - 'Development of AC-DC Hybrid Grid Energy Router' by Shanghai Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Group was selected after an online review by professionals and face-to-face assessment.
AC-DC hybrid grid energy router
The AC-DC hybrid grid energy router plays a strategic role in grid development
The program aims to combine magnetic materials with power electronic converters coupled with state-of-the-art numerical control to change traditional transformers from passive and single-port control to active and multi-port (AC and DC) control.
The AC-DC hybrid grid energy router is the centric component of the hybrid electricity network and plays a strategic role in grid development in the coming years.
innovation-driven development strategy
Shanghai Science and Technology Committee sets up the “Technology Innovation Action Plan” to enhance the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, the building of a world-class innovation center, and the education and selection of high-end talents who can boost Shanghai’s development, with pioneering technologies.
It funds 150 programs in Shanghai in 2021.
