The “Delta Power Electronics New Technology Seminar” was successfully held from June 12 to 14 in Wujiang, Suzhou. The event brought together over 400 experts, faculty members, and students from 14 universities, focusing on fundamental research in power electronics and the development and challenges of new power systems. The seminar emphasized information that could be shared publicly or academically, highlighting both theoretical foundations and potential for technological application, with the aim of promoting knowledge transfer and interdisciplinary collaboration.
At the seminar, Professors Li Wuhua and Professor He Jinwei were awarded the title of “Delta Scholar.” Professor Li Wuhua has long been dedicated to high-capacity power electronics technology and has received numerous honors, including the Second Prize of the National Natural Science Award and the China Youth Science and Technology Award. Professor He Jinwei specializes in microgrids and high-capacity power conversion technology, and has received three First Prizes for Science and Technology Progress at the provincial and ministerial level. Associate Professor Ji Shiqi, Professor Li Binbin, and Professor He Zhixing were honored with the “Delta Young Scholar Award.” In total, 73 graduate students were awarded scholarships.
Professor Fred C. Lee, a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Director of Delta Power Electronics Science and Technology Educational Development Program and Delta Scholar Program, stated that with the support of Mr. Bruce Cheng, Delta launched the “Delta Power Electronics Science and Technology Education Development Program” in 2000. Starting with just three universities, the program now includes 14 and has made significant contributions to the development of power electronics in China. He pointed out that the seminar, primarily attended by academic faculty, fostered an open and friendly atmosphere for exchange, which was truly rare and valuable.
Delta Chairman and CEO Ping Cheng emphasized in his speech that Delta is deeply concerned about the impact of global climate change and places strong emphasis on innovation and R&D. Through initiatives such as the Delta Power Electronics Science and Technology Education Development Program, the Delta Scholar Program, and this annual new technology seminar, the company promotes academic participation and industry-academia collaboration, aiming to create shared value and reflect the vigorous growth of power electronics and new power system technologies.
In parallel with the seminar, the “Delta New-Type Power System Forum” was held. Keynote speakers included Professor Rao Hong, Chief Scientist of China Southern Power Grid; Professor Huang Shoudao from Hunan University; and Dr. Wang Ruxi from Delta. Topics included new power system development, energy conversion systems for large-scale wind turbines, and the evolution of solid-state transformers.
Participants also visited Delta’s “Zero Carbon Factory” in Wujiang. This facility achieves 100% renewable electricity and full carbon offset through Delta’s self-developed energy-carbon management platform and green power applications. It is the first electronics manufacturing site in Jiangsu Province to earn both Five-Star Certification and PAS2060 Carbon Neutrality Certification.
The seminar also featured the premiere of a condensed version of Delta’s sponsored 8K ecological documentary "Shipwrecks Taiwan ", aiming to raise public awareness of marine ecological restoration.
This seminar exemplified Delta’s long-term commitment to education, talent cultivation, and the advancement of green technology, injecting new momentum into the future of power electronics and sustainable energy.Committee members from the Science and Technology Education Program, along with Delta executives, took a group photo to commemorate the seminar.
Over 400 Delta executives, faculty members, students, and industry experts attended the seminar.
