Constructing World-class Test Bases
Increasing Investment in Scientific R&D
We intend to:
Construct world-class state grid simulation centres. SGCC takes the lead in simulation technology, scale of the
simulation system, capacity of simulation test and dynamic simulation performance, with hyper-scale power grid
analysis, large-capacity dynamic simulation of physical equipment and large-scale parallel computation in power
system as the core.
Construct world-class UHV AC test bases with top comprehensive test capacity. 12 research achievements
rank the best in the world in terms of the all-weather electromagnetic environment supervision system, outer
insulation tests simulating high altitude environments, insulator string full-size pollution tests, operation,
maintenance and repair of equipment as well as live-line jobs, etc.
Construct the first-class UHV DC test base in the world with top comprehensive test capacities. 12 research
achievements rank the best in the world in terms of the length of UHV DC test lines, voltage level of doublecircuit
in one tower, comprehensive performance of in-hall test equipment, artificial ice coating, lightning arrest,
live-line tests, etc.

Adhering to Self-innovation
SGCC owns 33 major laboratories, including 2 state
engineering research centers and 6 key laboratories
under SGCC. There are 374 labs, stations and centers
under regional and provincial power companies.
There are 5 scientific research institutions directly
under SGCC, 50 experimental, research and design
institutions under regional and provincial power
companies, with 106,000 technicians, 20,000
research personnel and 6 academicians.
The successful completion of 1 simulation center and 2 test bases will provide efficient means for the research in
stability of large power grids. They will remarkably improve the research and test capability in UHV transmission
technology and make active contribution to getting an upper hand in the world’s power technology and
mastering the advanced core technology in power industry.
With self-innovation as the core development forces, SGCC faces the front field of production and service,
strengthens key development areas of the company and the world advanced power technologies, and
promoting technological innovation, SGCC planed to improve its comprehensive technological capability to the
international advanced level and to lower the rate of dependence on foreign technologies to 10% by the end of
the 11th Five-year Plan period.
SGCC strives to carry out the Outline of the National Long- and Medium- Term Program for Scientific and
Technological Development, promote the research into 9 state-level scientific projects.
SGCC organized personnel to tackle key problems of 12 significant research projects in technological innovation
such as UHV transmission, safety operation of the large power grid and electric power market.
