On the afternoon of August , the teachers and students went to the State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company and held a symposium themed “Clean energy development and new power system construction”. The symposium was chaired by Qian Qinglin, General Manager of Qinghai Electric Power Company. The two parties respectively introduced the development of clean energy and power grid in Qinghai, the construction of Qinghai’s new power system demonstration zone, and the relevant research results of EEA in the new power system, and made in-depth exchanges. Afterwards, all the teachers and students visited the Qingnan UHV converter station of Qinghai Electric Power Company, the 50MW CSP (concentrated solar power) station located in Gonghe County, Qinghai Province, and the high-altitude and high-voltage experimental hall.

The successful convening of this forum has received strong support from State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company and Qinghai University, and it provided a valuable academic exchange opportunity for the high-quality training of doctoral students of engineering in the Department of Electrical Engineering, allowing students to have a comprehensive understanding of the development of Qinghai’s green and clean energy industry.
“EEA’s Forum of Doctors of Engineering” is an academic exchange platform for teachers and students organized by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Electronics and freely established by doctoral students of engineering, usually held once every three months. The forum encourages students to report the progress of their dissertations and present their research results, aiming to strengthen the management of the engineering doctoral training process, stimulate innovative thinking, and promote project cooperation. Since December 2020, EEA has successfully held six forum of doctors of engineering in Beijing, Changzhou, Qingdao, Chengdu (online), Fuzhou (online), and Xining.
