International Standard on Power Generation Compiled under the Guidance of China Huaneng issued

On December 7, the IEC TR 63388 ED1Report on the Development of Co-generation was officially issued, which was the first international standard on power generation compiled under the guidance of China Huaneng Group, and Huaneng Xi’an Thermal Power Research Institute (TPRI). It marks a major breakthrough of China Huaneng in the work of international standardization.
In May 2019,TPRItook the lead in establishing the expert group including specialists from Germany, Japan, and Switzerland to carry out researches on the international standard system of co-generation.The standard was released in two and a half year, overcoming the COVID pandemic and communication difficulties. During the period, TPRI has negotiated and processed more than 280feedback from international experts, revised over 70 versions of the report, held 15 domestic and foreign work seminars, solicited 5 rounds of expert opinions from international working groups, and 1 round of consultation with IEC/TC5 member states.

In the context of acceleratingenergy revolution, co-generation technology in the power generation sector is an important way to promote air pollution control, improve energy efficiency, drive the full consumption of renewable energy, and speed up realizing carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. The standard will beacon the construction of a global co-generation standard system, lay a good foundation for China to carry out international standard researches in related fields, promote the high-quality and sustainable development of co-generation around the world, and significantly help China and the world achieve carbon neutrality.
