2018 was the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening. Inspired with the Institute’s motto of “Proficiency with Passion to Generate Power”, the enterprise in our institute has risen to a new level with our hard work, solidarity and cooperation.

In 2018, the institute made significant progress in scientific research in the field of energy and power. The feasibility study report of the national major science and technology infrastructure project "High- Efficiency and Low-Carbon Gas Turbine Research Facility" was approved. The 1000kg turbofan engine high-altitude test was completed and the project technical acceptance was completed. "Research Group of Advanced Light-duty aeronautical Gas Turbine Technologies" won the 2018 Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Technology of preheating pulverized coal combustion and CFB boiler with polygon furnace realized commercial operation. The large cargo UAV AT200 successfully completed its ferry flight with cargo. The research and demonstration of 100MW-class advanced compressed air energy storage system started to build. Combined cooling, dehumidification, and power system based on the diesel internal combustion engine was used on the island. The technology of “A turbine design method” obtained the second prize of Chinese People’s Liberation Army Science and Technology Progress. Relevant research achievements of Distributed Energy won the 1st Class Award of China Electric Power Science and Technology Progress and the 1st Class Award of Zhejiang Province Electric Power Science and Technology Progress. Professor CHEN Haisheng was granted “The special award for Chinese youth engaged in science and technology”. Professor LU Xingen became one of Youth Science and Technology Innovation Leaders. Professor ZHENG Huilong won the 1st Prize of the National "Pioneer Cup" Innovation Competition. In 2018, the Institute obtained 103 new scientific research projects with funding of CNY 7.09 billion. The amount of the funding was up 41 percent from 2017. Per capita funding exceeded CNY 1.5 million. The institute set up 9 project companies which attracted CNY 37.5 billion from social capital. These companies help the institute translate the technologies of clean energy, gas turbine and advanced production into capital.

The institute led the establishment of Innovation Research Institute of Light-duty Gas Turbine. The implementation plan has been consulted and discussed by the expert group; cooperated with over 10 unites of Chinese Academy of Sciences to found “general department of unmaned aircraft system, Chinese Academy of Sciences” which is responsible for the development of the UAV. Academician Xu Jianzhong led the construction of the college of Aerospace in the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences to cultivate aeronautic leading talents with international vision.

Looking forward to 2019, we believe that we will continue to achieve great success as long as we stay focused on our target and keep working hard!

Finally, I wish you a successful and prosperous year 2019!
