It is a Class A Survey, Design and Research Institute in China with high reputation and remarkable strength, and a subsidiary of the wholly stated-owned Powerchina Corporation. Over the past 60 years, it has been dedicated to the development of green and clean energies, obtaining splendid achievements in the clean energies of hydropower, and wind power and solar energy, water affair and environmental protection and other infrastructures About the Operator becoming a leader in its kind in China. Through the multi-year engineering experience and extending international market cooperation, a long-term cooperation mechanism has been established between Powerchina Zhongnan and many governments and well-known enterprises at home and abroad. Since 2009, Powerchina Zhongnan has successfully provided 23 training programs (including two ministerial workshops) regarding hydropower, wind power and solar power for more than 500 foreign officials and technical personnel in more than hundreds of countries by means of its high technical strength and successful operation experience in the field of clean energies, accumulating extensive training experience, and fostering a big team of teachers and management personnel. In the past 100 years, in the process of western industrialization, human have consumed about 60% of the global resources and is now faced with the challenge of sustainable energy development. With the acceleration of global economic growth, the problems of energy, environment and climate change are becoming increasingly prominent because of the quickly rising demand of world energy. Conventional energy acquisition is heavily dependent on external resources and the petroleum resources with increasingly high prices have seriously affected social and economy in developing countries. Wind power, solar power, biomass energy and other renewable resources have the advantages of high industrial maturity, low cost in power generation, a good effect on natural and social environment. This renewable energy has become an important strategic option for the world energy challenges and primary choice for the renewable energy development. The seminar combines theories with practices. Therefore, participants can master easily the Seminar / Training Course Content basic knowledge and technical applications through our special topic workshops, idea exchanging and discussion, field visits and practices. The main courses include Introduction to New Energy Source, Hydroelectric Power Station Planning and Construction, Development and Utilization of Clean Energy in China, Promotion Mechanism for Alternative Energy Development and Utilization, Planning and Design of Wind Farm, Application of Solar Energy, Biomass Power Generation Technology, etc. The place for field visit is Longyangxia hydropower station in Qinghai Province. Be known as the “leader” of the Yellow River power station, Longyangxia station is the first large scale cascade hydropower station in upper Yellow River. We will also visit experience Chinese culture in Beijing. The ten days long seminar is of great significance in terms of enhancing the energy utilization efficiency and environmental protection among the developing countries and promoting the harmonious relationship between human and nature as well as sustainable economic development. It also lays solid foundation for the further communication and cooperation between China and these countries in the aspect of clean energy utilization.
