Liu Zhenya introduced the innovative achievements of State Grid Corporation of China in the fields of ultra-high voltage and smart grid, and elaborated on the idea of ​​building a global energy Internet. On behalf of Stanford University, Dr. Jimmy Chan, professor at Stanford University and executive director of the Energy 3.0 project, welcomed Liu Zhenya and his delegation, and expressed appreciation and admiration for the innovative breakthroughs of State Grid Corporation of China in ultra-high voltage theory, technology, equipment, engineering practice, etc., as well as the global energy Internet concept proposed by Chairman Liu Zhenya, and affirmed the important role of the global energy Internet in solving global energy security, environmental pollution, climate change and other issues.

Stanford University attaches great importance to the research and development of cutting-edge energy and power technologies, and is willing to continue to deepen exchanges and cooperation with State Grid Corporation of China and its affiliated scientific research units, give full play to the role of technological innovation, and jointly promote the innovative development of the global energy Internet. Arun Majumdar, professor at Stanford University, former director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Research Agency, and academician of the U.S. Academy of Engineering, Professor Prinz, director of Stanford University's Energy 3.0 project, and Ms. Dian Grueneich, former chairman of the California Public Utilities Commission, and other experts and scholars participated in the discussion.

During his visit to Silicon Valley, Liu Zhenya also visited Huawei's US Research Institute. Jason Wu, director of Huawei's US Research Institute, introduced the establishment and operation model of overseas research institutions, expressed admiration for the great idea of ​​building a global energy internet, and believed that the global energy internet is a feasible solution to the sustainable development of mankind. Huawei has a wide influence in the field of mobile communications around the world and is willing to cooperate with State Grid Corporation of China in many fields such as communications and energy to support and participate in the construction of the global energy internet.

That afternoon, Liu Zhenya, Chairman and Party Secretary of State Grid Corporation of China, inspected the American Research Institute of State Grid Intelligence Research Institute, visited and expressed his condolences to all the staff of the American Research Institute, and listened to the report on the construction work of the overseas research institute.

Liu Zhenya pointed out that building overseas research institutes is a major strategic deployment of the company to integrate global intellectual resources and improve the scientific and technological innovation system. The US Research Institute is the first overseas research institute established by the company. In the past year since its establishment, it has opened up the working situation and achieved a good start. Liu Zhenya emphasized that the company's party committee has high hopes for the development of overseas research institutes. He hopes that the US Research Institute will continue to work hard to continuously open up new situations and make new breakthroughs. Liu Zhenya said that the concept of global energy Internet has been widely recognized and affirmed by all walks of life at home and abroad. The US Research Institute should focus on the actual needs of the development of the global energy Internet, focus on strengthening the project research of high-end cutting-edge technologies such as new energy power generation, smart grids, energy storage, and information and communications, and increase efforts to produce results early and achieve great results. Strengthen the synergy between production and research, do a good job in the transformation of results, and better support the development of the company and the power grid.
