On November 2, the self-innovated product "Invisible Defect Detection Device for Secondary Circuits of Current Transformers" developed by STATE GRID NINGDONG ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY COMPANY assisted in accurately identifying and quickly locating hidden faults in the secondary circuits of current transformers. It was the first to receive special incubation funding from State Grid Commercial Big Data Co., Ltd. and is expected to complete incubation by the end of the year and enter the State Grid's first-level e-commerce platform for sales. This achievement won the 2024 State Grid Company’s Excellent “Five Small” Innovation Achievement Award and was the only project from Ningxia to represent the region at the State Grid Employee Technology Innovation Promotion Conference, where it was awarded on-site.
To enhance the effectiveness of innovation, the company implemented "three measures," relying on the State Grid Ningxia Electric Power Co., Ltd.'s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center to provide full-service technical supply-demand matching and technological achievement incubation and transformation, thus bridging the "last mile" of achievement transformation. The company also established an incentive mechanism for achievement transformation, allowing key incubation projects to enter the appropriate material procurement directories, thus providing innovation talents with a greater sense of gain. Furthermore, it actively sought innovation honors, regularly organizing "Five Small" innovation results selection and concentrating on displaying excellent innovations. It also recommended outstanding results to higher-level units and fostered a positive innovation atmosphere.
Since implementing the "three measures," the company’s employee-driven innovation activities have flourished, effectively promoting the deep integration of various innovation elements. This has resulted in a series of "grounded, easy-to-promote, and effective" innovative products, creating a healthy ecosystem for technological achievement incubation and transformation. The company has launched an employee technology innovation key project cultivation, focusing on achievements with clear intellectual property rights, advanced technical indicators, and high project maturity. Eleven projects, including the "Smart Protection Screen and Switchgear Intelligent Defense System" and "Smart Phase Sequence Tester," were selected and reported to the Ningxia Company’s Technology Department. Among these, two projects, including the "Smart Protection Screen and Switchgear Intelligent Defense System," have already been listed on the State Grid's second-level e-commerce platform. The "Photovoltaic Power Pole Warning Sign" was selected for the first-level e-commerce platform, and a cooperation intention was signed with the Ningxia Technology Market. A technical licensing agreement has been signed with Ningxia Electric Power Energy Technology Co., Ltd.
Moving forward, STATE GRID NINGDONG ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY COMPANY will, in accordance with the "Technology Achievement Transformation Management Regulations of State Grid Ningxia Electric Power Co., Ltd.," establish and improve a seamless achievement transformation mechanism suitable for Ningdong Company. This will include clarifying achievement transformation goals during the initiation of technological projects, signing achievement transformation commitments, and periodically collecting transformation lists, with the goal of completing at least two market-based transformation goals each year. The company will actively carry out employee-driven technology innovation activities, organize the selection of "small, practical, flexible, and new" technological innovations, and establish a regular cultivation and reserve mechanism for achievement transformation. It will strive to bring more achievements to State Grid's e-commerce platform and Ningxia's technology market, effectively bridging the "last mile" to market transformation and improving the quality and efficiency of achievement transformation.
