I. Equip with Higher Standards to Provide Better Service for National Development
Since the founding of New China, through the arduous efforts of several generations, China's manufacturing industry has achieved a leap-forward growth in scale and a significant improvement in development quality, becoming the world's largest manufacturing power. Currently, China possesses the most comprehensive and largest industrial system globally, with its manufacturing value-added accounting for about % of the world's total. As an important component of the manufacturing sector, the equipment manufacturing industry has also realized a historic leap from following, running alongside, to leading in some areas, achieving remarkable accomplishments. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the rapid development and numerous highlights in China's high-end equipment manufacturing sector have been evident, with significant achievements in manned spaceflight, lunar and Mars exploration, deep-sea and deep-earth exploration. In the energy equipment field, China has successfully developed the world's largest single-unit capacity hydroelectric, wind, and thermal power units, forming independent brands such as the "Hualong One" and "Guohe One" for third-generation pressurized water reactors and advanced high-temperature gas-cooled reactors with fourth-generation features, establishing a relatively complete clean energy equipment manufacturing industry chain. Meanwhile, taking the demonstration projects of industrial foundation strengthening as a starting point, a series of "bottleneck" issues in core basic components, key basic materials, and advanced basic processes have been resolved. The level of energy-saving and environmental protection, clean production, and other green technologies and equipment has steadily improved, and China is steadily advancing towards becoming a modern equipment manufacturing power.
Serving the national strategy of new industrialization, comprehensively building an independent, controllable, secure, and competitive modern high-end equipment industrial system is the mission of central enterprises to dedicate themselves to the nation through industry. As a central enterprise that emerged from the "Third Line Construction," the Dongfang Electric Group possesses the gene of technological self-reliance and self-strengthening. It always stands on the needs of the nation, the trends of the industry, and the capabilities of central enterprises, firmly pursuing a path of high-quality development, and proactively shouldering the significant responsibility of serving high-end equipment manufacturing and ensuring national energy security. In recent years, the Dongfang Electric Group has consistently focused on equipment manufacturing, improving the quality and efficiency of traditional energy equipment, and advancing hydropower, coal power, nuclear power, and gas power to higher levels. It has also aligned with the needs of building a new power system, promoting innovation and upgrading in wind power and solar power industries. Leveraging its strengths in energy equipment research and manufacturing, the group has continuously expanded into strategic emerging industries and future industries such as new energy materials, hydrogen energy, energy storage, and intelligent manufacturing, forming a relatively complete supply capability for energy equipment. As of now, the company's cumulative power generation equipment production has exceeded 100 million kilowatts, with business covering multiple countries and regions around the world, making it one of the leading global energy equipment enterprises.
Currently, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, with major disruptive technologies emerging continuously. The 20th Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party clearly stated, "Accelerate the advancement of new industrialization, cultivate and expand advanced manufacturing clusters, and promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry." On the new journey, the Dongfang Electric Group will thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party, deeply implement the "Leading Strategy" focusing on talent, technology, quality, cost, and industry, accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries represented by wind, solar, hydrogen, and energy storage, further enhance the resilience and security of the industrial chain and supply chain, continuously improve the industrial innovation ecosystem, focus on cultivating and supplying scientific and technological innovation talents, and continuously strengthen core functions and enhance core competitiveness, consolidating and enhancing the favorable momentum of high-quality development.
2. Firmly Win the Battle for Key Core Technologies
President Xi Jinping emphasized, "The essence of manufacturing lies in innovation, in mastering key core technologies," and urged that "we must seize the day to advance technological self-reliance and self-strengthening, urgently break through the 'bottleneck' issues, and strive to keep key core technologies and equipment manufacturing in our own hands." Bearing this directive in mind, the Dongfang Electric Group has steadfastly pursued a path of "independent innovation and scaling new heights," striving to create a series of original, leading, and strategic technological innovations, and promoting the localization and self-reliance of core technologies in energy equipment.
The gas turbine is hailed as the "pearl on the crown" of the equipment manufacturing industry. In 2022, the Dongfang Electric Corporation successfully delivered the H-25 Gas Turbine, a megawatt-class heavy-duty gas turbine with complete independent intellectual property rights, marking a breakthrough from "zero" to "one" in China's independent heavy-duty gas turbine field. On this basis, the Dongfang Electric Corporation continued to advance the technological iteration of the prototype machine. The picture shows the prototype machine after the technological iteration test on January 20, 2023. Photo provided by the Dongfang Electric Corporation. Standing on the perspective of safeguarding national energy security, the Dongfang Electric Corporation has overcome a batch of key core technologies that were previously constrained by others. In recent years, as the global competition in the energy sector has intensified, the risks of "bottlenecks" in some key equipment and high-end materials in China have become more prominent. The Dongfang Electric Corporation has consistently focused on enhancing the country's independent innovation capabilities in energy, targeting a series of key core technologies for concentrated research and breakthroughs, providing strong technological support for ensuring national energy security. For instance, gas turbines are strategic equipment related to national defense security, energy security, and maintaining industrial competitiveness. Due to their multidisciplinary nature, the development of gas turbines is extremely difficult and is known as the "pearl on the crown" of the equipment manufacturing industry. For a long time, domestic gas turbine manufacturing mostly only possessed cold-end components and assembly manufacturing technologies, and a complete, independently controllable industrial system had not yet been formed. The Dongfang Electric Corporation took the lead in developing a megawatt-class heavy-duty gas turbine with complete independent intellectual property rights in China, constructing a complete gas turbine R&D and manufacturing system based on this product, and promoting significant breakthroughs in the localization of medium and small power heavy-duty gas turbines in China. Currently, the megawatt heavy-duty gas turbine has successfully entered commercial operation, and the series product, the megawatt heavy-duty gas turbine, has also been assembled and rolled off the production line. Addressing the integration bottlenecks between the innovation and industrial chains, mastering cutting-edge technologies that lead the industry's development. Deep integration of the innovation and industrial chains is an important approach to achieving breakthroughs in key core technologies. The Dongfang Electric Corporation has consistently focused on breakthroughs in key core technologies to strengthen industry leadership, helping to enhance China's position in the global industrial and value chains. The million-kilowatt unit is a synonym for advanced technology in the power industry and has long been a blank spot in world hydropower. The million-kilowatt hydroelectric generator unit has extremely high requirements for key indicators such as stability, temperature rise, and power generation efficiency, posing a significant challenge to the overall equipment manufacturing technology capabilities. Based on long-term technical accumulation, the Dongfang Electric Corporation took 13 years to lead the development of the Baihetan million-kilowatt hydroelectric generator unit, achieving multiple key technological breakthroughs, with the generator's rated efficiency exceeding 99%, and thereby constructing a third-generation large hydropower technology system with 100% independent intellectual property rights, realizing a significant breakthrough in China's high-end equipment manufacturing. In addition, the company has been committed to promoting the integration of the innovation and industrial chains, participating in the development of China's first 10,000-meter continental scientific drilling rig, "Earth Crust No. 1," breaking through key technologies for high-speed, fully hydraulic top drive drilling equipment, making China the third country in the world with specialized equipment and related technologies for implementing the 10,000-meter continental drilling plan, and bringing its technical level to the forefront of the world.
