Event Overview

As one of the most influential industry events in the field of electric instruments and meters, the conference focused on “Industry, Academia, Research, and Application” as its core positioning. The agenda was rich and included industry-specific reports, technical committee meetings, technical discussions, and innovation exhibitions. Experts from organizations such as the China Electric Power Research Institute, China National Institute of Metrology, leading industry companies, Tsinghua University, and Harbin Engineering University participated in on-site technical discussions, aiming to build new reserves for the development of the electric instrument and meter industry.

During the opening ceremony, Ye Xufeng introduced the advantages of Yueqing’s industrial cluster, intelligent manufacturing, and scientific innovation incubation. He expressed hope that this event would serve as an opportunity for all sectors to strengthen cooperation in industry-academia-research application, sparking more innovation and collaboratively building a stronger, better, and more resilient industrial chain and supply chain.

Chen Guoliang highlighted in his speech that with the global consensus on the green and low-carbon transition driven by the “dual carbon” goals, this conference carries profound contemporary significance and strategic importance. It emphasizes the role of market demand in driving innovation, leading standards, and achieving autonomy in core technologies, thus propelling high-quality development across the entire industrial chain.

During the ceremony, the Supplementary List of the 7th Committee Members of the National Electric Instrument and Meter Standardization Technical Committee was announced, marking a further improvement in the industry’s organizational structure. Following this, the work summary report for the Technical Committee for the 2024-2025 period systematically reviewed significant breakthroughs in electromagnetic measurement in China, including several internationally leading technological achievements and progress in standard formulation.

International Standardization Efforts

In the report on international standardization efforts, experts shared the latest developments in global electromagnetic measurement standards. As the capacity for industry standardization strengthens, China’s international voice in the field of power measurement and monitoring continues to rise, driving the entire industry towards higher quality and greater intelligence.

Representatives from State Grid, Southern Power Grid, and Inner Mongolia Power Group elaborated on the key roles and focal points of electromagnetic measurement in promoting energy transformation and constructing a new power system, based on different regional electricity development conditions. The attendees unanimously agreed that in the context of global energy transformation, innovative breakthroughs in electromagnetic measurement technology have become a crucial foundation for the high-quality development of the power industry.

Specialized Technical Committees

This year’s conference established three specialized technical committee meetings, focusing on areas such as electric energy measurement and control, electric electromagnetic measurement devices, and AC/DC instruments, as well as measurement power supplies and recording instruments. These meetings engaged in standard reviews, technical discussions, and work planning, reflecting the maturity and professionalism of the industry’s development.

At the Yueqing Exhibition Center, the concurrent exhibition showcased the most innovative products and technological solutions in the field of electromagnetic measurement, providing an essential platform for technical exchanges and industry connections, and attracting numerous professional attendees. Nearly 300 exhibitors gathered to showcase their technological innovations, injecting new technological strength into the electric instrument and meter industry.
