With the support of Polar Research Institute of China, higher authorities and other parties, the university has formed a research and development team engaged in polar monitoring equipment, and scientific researchers from mechanical, electrical and surveying disciplines have also actively joined in the development and research of major polar monitoring equipment. He stressed that in order to promote the vigorous development of China's polar cause, large depth and wide range of polar expeditions are the way to go, which poses a serious challenge to the energy supply of polar expeditions, and breaking through the problem of stability and reliability of clean energy supply in extreme environments has become a pressing problem to be solved. "When polar regions and energy meet, a melding of ice and fire is created." Currently, the Polar Engineering Technology Innovation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources, led by the China Polar Center and with the participation of our university, has been approved to be included in the construction list, and the "Polar Clean Energy Laboratory" of our university is part of the Polar Engineering Innovation Center. Sun Hongbin hoped that the two sides would join hands to work together on "Smart Energy, Smart Polar", make the polar energy bigger and stronger, and contribute to the national polar cause together. He hoped that the two sides will cooperate deeply in mutual recruitment of talents, joint training of postgraduates and declaration of large projects and scientific research platforms, so as to make contributions to the construction of the polar power and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Sun Hongbin said that the postgraduate polar class, jointly created by the university and Polar Research Institute of China, aims to deliver high-quality professional talents to the polar regions, and the university will also give strong support in all aspects to make our due contribution to building a strong polar country and realizing the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Sun Bo and Sun Hongbin inaugurated the Polar Clean Energy Laboratory of the Polar Engineering Technology Innovation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Professor Sun Hongbin was appointed as the chief scientist of polar clean energy.
In his speech, Sun Bo expressed warm congratulations to the university on behalf of the China Polar Research Center on its 120th anniversary and reviewed the good cooperation foundation established between the China Polar Research Center and Taiyuan University of Technology in recent years. "Polar expedition is a cause with merits in the present time and benefits in a thousand years." Combining issues such as polar strategic development planning, Sun Bo pointed out that whoever has the advantage of engineering technology innovation has the hard power of polar expedition and the innovation ability to implement the strategic tasks of the national base. Human polar activities are bound to use energy, and more efficient and clean energy technologies are needed to guarantee the implementation of the national polar strategy deployed by the central government. Shanxi is a national energy province and a leader in the energy revolution, and is at the forefront of the country in the field of new energy and energy internet. The Polar Engineering Technology Innovation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources, led by the Polar Center and with the participation of Taiyuan University of Technology, was approved to be included in the construction list, and the research team of Taiyuan University of Technology, headed by Sun Hongbin, provided support in the field of polar energy application technology. Sun Hongbin had personally led a team to visit the Polar Center, and the two sides signed a cooperation agreement on cooperation in the field of Antarctic energy and reached a consensus to jointly build polar zero-carbon energy. The university also made another effort around the implementation of the central polar strategy, organizing a postgraduate polar class, forming a polar energy application technology laboratory and incorporating it into the polar engineering technology innovation center of the Ministry of Natural Resources. He said that China Polar Research Center will work with Taiyuan University of Science and Technology on the important strategic deployment of the central government on polar work, and carry out in-depth cooperation in polar engineering technology such as polar energy application technology and polar observation equipment technology, jointly plan the development direction of disciplines and key areas, strengthen academic cooperation and communication, jointly carry out postgraduate and talent training, the construction of the Polar Engineering Technology Innovation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the declaration of major projects. We will work together for the implementation of the economic strategy and the development of extreme environment and energy application technology.
In the construction of Polar Clean Energy Laboratory (Smart Energy Research Building), Yuan Gong Energy Technology Group donated 5 million RMB. As a distinguished alumnus of our university, Lv Jinyu, Chairman of Yuan Gong Energy Technology Corporation, in his speech at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Polar Clean Energy Laboratory, recalled the good times of his school life. He expressed that he was honored to be able to participate in the construction of the Polar Clean Energy Laboratory of his alma mater and hoped to add bricks to the development of his alma mater and contribute to the development and construction of national polar zero carbon energy.
Sun Bo announced the laying of the foundation stone of the Polar Clean Energy Laboratory (Smart Energy Research Building) and the leaders laid the foundation stone for the Polar Clean Energy Laboratory (Smart Energy Research Building).
The Polar Clean Energy Laboratory is a part of the Polar Engineering Innovation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources, which will build a wind-light-storage-and-carbon integrated energy demonstration platform under real polar environment (extreme cold, strong wind, extreme day and night). The laboratory will build a wind-light-storage-hydrogen-load zero-carbon integrated energy demonstration platform under real polar environment (cold, wind, extreme day and night), and provide a domestic laboratory test platform for various other scientific research engineering equipment.
It is understood that around the central polar development strategy, the university and the China Polar Research Center jointly create a postgraduate polar class, the first batch of 10 graduate students, and the China Polar Research Center to carry out joint training.
