Conference scene

The conference began with an address by Prof. Zhang Boming who extended congratulations on the successful opening of the conference.

Yang Hengkun, President of DFE, also delivered an address:

Over the 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's power industry has made great strides, said Yang.

These have been the results of generations of the concerted efforts of power practitioners, experts, industrial organizations at all levels and power enterprises.

In recent years, we have sped up self-reform and strategic transformation, built an integral value chain involving power software and hardware, primary and secondary integration, energy conservation and environmental protection, and integrated energy management, become an industrial highlight, and gained full recognition from governments, customers, strategic partners and other relevant sides.

We are grateful to the Special Committee and experts for their close attention and guidance in this process.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to them through the conference and hope that they will continue to give us guidance and support.

Yang also expected that the Special Committee would keep pace with technical development and set world top standards at the height of China, to make more "Chinese standards" lead the trends of world power technologies, and promote the scientific development of China's power industry.
