Research Interest

For a long time he is working on the development of special electrical equipments and on the research and development of new technology in electrical engineering in China. His main working areas include: High Pulse Power; Fusion Electrical Engineering: Superconducting Electrical Engineering; Magneto hydrodynamic Power Generation and Ship Propulsion; Renewable Energy; High-speed Magnetic Levitation Train. Many important achievements have been made in these corresponding areas. In the field of high magnetic field technology and application, quite long, wide and systematic research and development work has been made to promote the high-field R&D level close to the international standard. During 1960’s and first part of 1970’s, he initiated the R&D of high energy inductive energy storage system in China, led the successful construction of the 6×107J Hefei normal-conducting inductive energy storage facility. He led the R&D and construction of the electromagnetic system of the Chinese first tokamak CT-6 in Beijing, took part in the design of the Hefei CT-8 tokamak and the test of the high field FT-tokamak in Frascatic. Since middle of 1970’s, in the field of applied superconductivity, he did many research on the basic problem of application, such as: magnet stability, normal zone propagation, quasi-force-free magnet and low-purity holmium core, led the development and construction of several superconduting magnet systems for practical use, such as: magnet systems for experimental MHD generator, for 300kw homopolar generator, for monocrystal furnace, superconducing high-gradient magnetic separator, these works led the superconducting magnet technology in China to reach the stage of practical application. During 1990’s he organized and led the development and successful construction of 1 m bore, 1.5KG large permanent magnet for Anti-matter Spectrometer (AMS) in space. Since the beginning of 1990’s, he actively promoted the development of new technology in electrical engineering in several aspects. He organized the whole MHD power generation work of the National High Technology Program (863 Program), initiated the MHD ship propulsion work in China, led the development and successful construction of the HEMS-1 superconducting helical channel MHD model ship. He studied the strategic position of the high-speed magnetic levitated train in China’s passenger transport system, it promoted the development of high-speed maglev in China. He also actively promoted the renewable energy power generation work in China.
