Compute-Power Coordination Technology Joint Research Institute (算电协同技术联合研究院) opened in Guangzhou, targeting green-power interconnection, direct-current distribution, storage, and operations.

The Compute-Power Coordination Technology Joint Research Institute (算电协同技术联合研究院) was inaugurated in Guangzhou on August 19. It was jointly established by the National Innovation Center for Advanced Energy Storage, China Southern Power Grid Research Institute, China Southern Power Grid Power Technology, Guangdong HEC Technology Holding, and Chindata.

The institute is focused on data-center energy systems and power distribution. Its stated operating priorities are high reliability, low energy consumption, green-electricity use, and intelligent autonomous operation.

The five participants signed a cooperation agreement covering four research areas. These are direct green-power connections and source-grid-load-storage coordination, advanced direct-current distribution and power-quality optimization, new energy-storage devices and integrated equipment, and intelligent operations and reliability management for computing centers.

The organization aims to become a domestic platform for compute-power coordination research, commercialization of technical results, and professional training. The source reports the institute’s establishment and research agenda but does not provide a funding amount or deployment schedule.
