Chinanews.com, Chengdu, March 1 (Liu Huan) Last summer, many places across the country encountered high temperature weather, and electricity consumption and power cuts became topics of common concern to the society.
Recently, in the online theme publicity campaign of "Entering the Region to See Development: A New Chapter in Sichuan and Chongqing", Chinanews.com learned that in response to the high temperature and power shortage in Sichuan, Tsinghua Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute has carried out a targeted A series of research efforts, including accelerating the development of new technologies to solve energy storage problems.
In the research institute, Lu Lanchun, assistant to the dean of Tsinghua Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute and director of the Science and Technology Innovation Department, introduced to Chinanews.com that extreme weather conditions, unreasonable power supply structure, weak provincial and municipal backbone power grids, and insufficient load flexibility caused last year's The main pain point of high temperature and power limit.
At present, we should focus on these pain points, such as accelerating the construction of large-scale power infrastructure, vigorously developing smart energy systems, and accelerating the promotion and application of technologies such as distributed power and new energy storage.
Lu Lanchun showed Chinanews.com a new energy storage power generation device model - a new type of non-supplementary combustion compressed air energy storage system model.

He said that when the electricity is surplus, the air compression device compresses the air into the underground salt cavern for storage, and releases the air to drive the motor to generate electricity when electricity is needed.
It is reported that in May 2022, this technology will be the first to be applied in Jintan, Changzhou, Jiangsu. One energy storage cycle can store 300,000 kWh of electricity, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of 60,000 residents for a day.
And this is just one of many new energy technologies developed by the institute.
The research institute has developed nearly 100 key technologies that are at the leading level at home and abroad, applied for more than 600 patents, and authorized more than 270 patents, paving the way for the transformation of more than 500 innovative achievements of Tsinghua University in Sichuan.
The research and development of these technologies is closely related to the introduction of talents.
As the first scientific research institution established in cooperation between Sichuan province and university, Lu Lanchun said that Tsinghua University chose Chengdu, Sichuan, on the one hand to understand the needs and advantages of energy industry development here; Strong foundational support can help the research institute realize the gathering of talents and the transformation of innovative achievements.
"Sichuan is very attractive to talents, and it has a lot of support for us scientific researchers." Lu Lanchun recalled that when the research institute first landed in Sichuan, they were unfamiliar with the place, and the government departments were in business management, site planning, and policies. Subsidies and other aspects have given a lot of help, so that the research institute can start work quickly.
It is reported that in March 2016, in order to implement the "climate-smart/low-carbon city" 2+2 cooperation agreement and serve the innovation-driven development strategy of Sichuan Province, Tsinghua University, relying on the Department of Electrical Engineering, established Tsinghua Sichuan Energy Internet Research Center in Tianfu New District, Sichuan The Institute is committed to creating a talent gathering platform, a technological innovation center, and a highland for industrial development in the field of energy Internet.
Now, the research institute has independently cultivated 3 national-level talents, 26 provincial-level talents, and more than 70 senior professional titles. It has built a high-level talent team of more than 400 people, established 10 high-level research centers, and built high-energy laboratories. 8, undertaking more than 870 scientific research projects, with a competitive research funding of 860 million yuan.
