Smart Tech
01 Clean coal technology (ultra-supercriticaL COi/oxyfuel power plant)
An eco-friendly integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant that deploys ultra-supercritical CO₂/O₂ (instead of high-pressure, high-temperature steam) to generate power
02 Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology
Technology that uses amines or solid absorbents to capture/ conden$e/$tore/u$e carbon dioxide emitted before/after fo$$iL fuel combustion
03 Offshore wind power generation
Supply of power through economically feasible development and stable system interconnection of offshore wind power energy
04 High voltage direct current transmission system (HVDC)
Technology that uses high voltage direct current for Long-distance, bulk transmission of electrical power； the system is mostly used to transfer power from renewable
05 New power equipment materials
Smart concrete that can sense of crack and recover itself graphene-based materials for high-efficiency energy conversion/storage systems； solar cells with enhanced optical absorption
06 Superconducting technology
Large-capacity, high-efficiency and eco-friendly superconducting power transmission Lines/ substations, aimed at overcoming the limitations of existing power grids ahead of future changes in the power industry
07 Smart grid
Next-generation power grids that achieve optimal energy efficiency through integration of ICT into existing power grids
08 Microgrid
A localized grouping of distributed energy resources for on-site power generation, storage and consumption
09 Energy storage system (ESS)
A technology for efficient peak Load management and stable power generation from new & renewable energy sources
10 ICT convergence/integration
Convergence between power (power generation, T&D, sales, and consumption] and ICT (loT, Big Data, and information security) to build new growth businesses
