VDE / State Grid China
Cooperation on digital technologies of the future
The VDE and the state grid operator State Grid China want to cooperate more closely: They want to promote common goals in science, education, testing and application and expand cooperation in technologies such as smart energy, cybersecurity and smart mobility.
State Grid China and the VDE will start with projects in the areas of smart energy and smart mobility. Both contractual partners will draw on their expertise in the integration and standardization of renewable energies, grid codes, grid control and storage systems. The VDE also advises on aspects of bankability (financeability) and insurability (insurability) of products in the field of renewable energies and storage systems. In the field of electromobility, the VDE contributes to the partnership with its expertise in standardization, testing and certification of energy storage systems, charging infrastructure and the evaluation of billing systems. "State Grid China has more than 120,000 experts in research and development. VDE draws on the extensive expertise of over 30,000 renowned experts in science, standardization, testing and certification as well as application consulting," said Ansgar Hinz from VDE at the signing of the contract in Beijing. "We also maintain close relationships with over 300 universities worldwide. Together, we complement each other ideally in many areas of digital future technologies."
