On December 12, Delta, a global power management and thermal management manufacturer, announced that the new building of Delta Wuhan R & D Center was officially opened, with a total area of 15,300 square meters, which is nearly five times larger than before, and will focus on research and innovation in the fields of data center, 5G communication equipment, electric vehicle charging and vehicle networking, new energy and smart microgrid, industrial Internet of Things and intelligent manufacturing. And strengthen cooperation with local customers and universities in Wuhan. The theme of the opening ceremony was “Integrated Innovation, digital intelligence and Low carbon”, indicating that Delta will invest more research and development energy in intelligent, low-carbon and digital fields, and expand the scale of national research and development. In the next five years, Delta Wuhan R&D Center team size will grow five times, is committed to promote the further development of Delta’s research and development capabilities in Central China. Cheng Liangsheng, Director of Taiwan Affairs Office of Hubei Province, Liu Hongming, Director of Wuhan Taiwan Affairs Office, Liu Lili, Director of Wuhan Optics Valley Modern Service Park Construction Service Center, Kang Yong, professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and other leaders and experts attended the unveiling of the new building together with Ke Zixing, Vice chairman of Delta, and Dr. Zhang Jinfa, director of Delta Shanghai and Hangzhou Design Center.
Delta Vice Chairman Ke Zixing stressed that innovation is the core of Delta’s sustainable development. Delta invests 8% of global revenue annually in innovative research and development and has more than 70 research and development centers around the world. As a core city in the middle of the mainland, Wuhan has built China Optical Valley industrial settlements around the national high-tech strategic development goals and formed a good science and innovation environment. Wuhan has rich educational resources and a large number of talents. Delta has long supported the development of power electronics science and education, including funding 43 scientific research projects of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 2 Delta scholars, 4 Delta visiting scholars, 3 Delta Young Scholars (awards), and awarding 150 scholarships. In the future, Delta will be based in Wuhan, continue to expand its research and development territory, with power electronics technology as the core, and strive to develop more efficient and low-carbon products, achieve the goal of “double carbon”, and help Wuhan accelerate the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy.
Professor Kang Yong of Huazhong University of Science and Technology said that he was very grateful to Mr. Zheng Chonghua, the founder of Delta, for setting up the “Delta Power Electronics Science and Education Development Plan” since 2000, which not only provides scientific research funding for teachers and students of universities, but also holds the “Delta Power Electronics New Technology Seminar” every year, making many contributions to the talent cultivation, scientific research progress and technical exchanges in the field of power electronics in China. As an important city for science and education in China, Wuhan is rich in talent resources. We believe that Huazhong University of Science and Technology will have more opportunities to cooperate with Delta Wuhan R&D Center in the future to jointly promote the further development of power electronics.
Liu Lili, director of the construction service center of Wuhan Optical Valley Modern Service Park, pointed out that Delta is another major backbone enterprise settled in Wuhan Software New City, and the opening of the new building of Delta Wuhan R & D center will help the further development of high-tech industries in Wuhan Software New City. Delta has a deep foundation of scientific and technological innovation and industrial development. We believe that with the joint efforts of government and enterprises, driven by global economic development and high-quality development in China, it is bound to usher in the spring of vigorous industrial development. Delta settled in Wuhan as early as 1998, focusing on marketing and service, and established a research and development center in Wuhan in 2006. After more than ten years of development, at present, the Wuhan branch has 130 employees, of which more than 100 are R&D personnel. Dr. Zhang Jinfa, director of Delta Shanghai and Hangzhou Design Center and head of Wuhan R&D Center, said that Wuhan R&D Center will continue to focus on research and innovation in the fields of data center, 5G communication equipment, electric vehicle charging and vehicle networking, new energy and smart microgrid, industrial Internet of Things and intelligent manufacturing. And focus on innovation in the field of data center and network infrastructure, such as room power supply and overall solutions, rack and server solutions, high-efficiency server power supply, submerged liquid cooling power supply, etc., with higher reliability, lower energy consumption, less investment, smaller space and shorter construction period of products and solutions, to digitize, intelligent enabling technology and production. At the same time, Delta attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents. Since 2000, Delta has set up the “Delta Power Electronics Science and Education Development Plan”, inviting 12 key universities such as Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology to participate in promoting the innovative development and personnel training of power electronics and electrical transmission and other related disciplines in universities.
Delta invests in forward-looking technology research and development all the year round, actively implements the business mission of “environmental protection, energy saving and love the earth”, echoes the goal of “double carbon”, and practices energy saving and carbon reduction from the core competitiveness, using three aspects of products, plants and green buildings. The opening ceremony of the new Wuhan R&D building passed the “Create win-win situation with Wuhan; Create new to win the future; Digital technology intelligence empowerment; In four aspects, Delta is looking forward to joining hands with the Wuhan government, universities and upstream and downstream industrial partners to build R&D and manufacturing inland highlands, and jointly create a “new coastal” open to the interior. The opening ceremony was also attended by Delta executives Yun 镟 Bo, Executive Vice President of Delta Global Business Operations, Huang Guangming, Chairman of Teda Electronics,
