The auspicious winter sun heralds a new chapter in university-industry collaboration. On January 13, 2026, the "Chongqing University - KeLiang Information Technology Co., Ltd. Joint Laboratory for Advanced Energy Equipment and System Simulation" was inaugurated at Chongqing University's Huxi Campus. This partnership will focus on research and application innovation in key technologies for new power systems, including multi-type power grid load simulation modeling, advanced energy equipment and system simulation, and oscillation risk analysis and assessment for AC/DC hybrid microgrids. The goal is to leverage the power of simulation to drive the digital and intelligent transformation of power grids and accelerate the construction of a new national energy system.

The unveiling ceremony was hosted by Du Xiong, Associate Dean of the School of Electrical Engineering at Chongqing University. Hu Jianlin, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Electrical Engineering at Chongqing University, and Sang Suming, General Manager of Shanghai KeLiang Information Technology Co., Ltd., jointly inaugurated the Joint Laboratory. Representatives from the university and company in attendance included Associate Professor Xiong Linyun and Associate Professor Cui Qiushi from Chongqing University's School of Electrical Engineering, along with Li Hongbiao, Deputy General Manager of KeLiang, and Dr. Zhu Yiying, Chief Technology Officer of KeLiang.

In his address, Secretary Hu Jianlin provided a comprehensive overview of the history, academic development, faculty, talent cultivation, and research achievements of the School of Electrical Engineering at Chongqing University. He emphasized that this university-industry joint laboratory represents a pragmatic move in response to the national "dual carbon" strategy and innovation-driven development initiatives. He expressed anticipation for both sides to fully leverage their respective strengths, tackle challenges persistently, and develop the laboratory into a nationally leading innovation hub for advanced energy equipment and system simulation, a talent cultivation base, and a platform for technology transfer, thereby contributing to the green, low-carbon transformation and safe, stable development of China's energy industry.

General Manager Sang Suming noted that the widespread integration of heterogeneous resources such as distributed generation, diverse loads, and new energy storage presents unprecedented challenges to the regulation capacity, dispatch responsiveness, and safe, stable operation of power systems. As pioneers in the energy and power technology sector, KeLiang hopes to share this mission with Chongqing University, integrate industry-academia-research resources, collaboratively tackle the challenges of power system stability under high proportions of power electronics and renewables, enhance new energy integration levels, promote the coordinated development of source-grid-load-storage-computing, and contribute "CQU> Wisdom" and the "KeLiang Solution" to building a modern national energy system.

At the management committee meeting, Du Chengmao, Deputy Director of the Joint Laboratory, systematically presented the laboratory's construction goals and work plans, outlining its technological development roadmap. Attendees provided suggestions on the laboratory's future research directions, joint talent cultivation, and application scenario innovation. Dr. Zhu Yiying proposed an engineering-oriented implementation pathway from the dimensions of "modeling techniques->analysis methods-application scenarios", suggesting the use of impedance analysis for wide-band oscillation risk assessment and mitigation research in power electronics-dominated power systems. Associate Dean Du Xiong offered practical and feasible guidance from the perspective of implementing the laboratory's strategic objectives, clarifying the direction of work and collaboration principles regarding organizational management, communication mechanisms, and resource coordination.
