The China International Electric Power and Electrical Exhibition closely aligns with the market to build a business platform for smart grid and automation customers.

The "15th International Power Equipment and Technology Exhibition" (EP China 2014), organized by the China Electricity Council and co-organized by Hong Kong Asia Exhibition Services Ltd., has once again received the authoritative certification as the "only power exhibition supported by the Ministry of Commerce" this year. It will continue to be the largest brand exhibition in the domestic power industry, featuring 1,000 domestic and foreign power and electrical equipment giants and brands, held from October 22-24, 2014, at the China International Exhibition Center (Sanyuanqiao) in Beijing.

According to the Chinese government's 2009 plan, by 2020, carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will be reduced by 40%-45% compared to 2005, and this will be included as a binding indicator in the national economic development outline. The State Council requires that from 2014 to 2015, carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will decrease by more than 4% and 3.5% respectively in the two years. Among them, based on the smart grid's ability to efficiently allocate various energy resources, with a smart scheduling system that prioritizes the use of clean energy, it gradually changes the power industry's excessive reliance on traditional coal resources, thereby reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, effectively addressing air pollution and related environmental issues, and thus receiving high attention from the national energy department, becoming an important industry to promote the national energy development strategy.

In order to cater to the market development trend of the smart grid, the conference will concurrently hold the "2014 Smart Grid Roadshow Forum." The summit is guided by the State Grid Corporation, co-organized by the State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company and Southern Power Group Technology Development Co., Ltd., and will discuss eight topics, including the application of distribution automation in urban power grids, smart distribution networks and distributed power sources, practical applications of electricity information collection systems, and the construction of new energy vehicles and charging and swapping stations, providing cutting-edge information and communication opportunities for China's smart grid and domestic and foreign clean energy industry enterprises.

Smart Grid and Power Automation Exhibitors

Many well-known automation and smart grid-related companies actively participate in the EP exhibition. These include Xiamen Sain Electric Technology Co., Ltd. (Booth No.: 8H10), which focuses on the research and development of intelligent assembly and testing equipment automatic production lines. Its equipment is widely used in major enterprises producing medium and high voltage circuit breakers and switchgear products. Its advantages include a high degree of intelligence and automation, saving time and labor, reducing labor intensity, improving labor efficiency, ensuring product quality, and facilitating systematic management for enterprises.

Beijing Lide Huaton Technology Co., Ltd. (Booth No.: 1R05) is a high-tech enterprise focusing on the research, development, production, and sales of specialized electrical products in the distribution and intelligent automation fields. The company has an electrical division and a sheet metal division, with the main products of the electrical division being low-voltage distribution cabinets and electrical control cabinets.

The intelligent locking device of Beijing Weineng Huitong Power Technology Co., Ltd. (Booth No.: 1N15) is a series of products used for the door locks and hole locks of high-voltage switchgear. It is an important safety device to ensure the safe operation of the power grid and the safety of equipment and personnel. It only needs to connect the sensor with the live display inside the cabinet to implement safety measures such as prohibiting operation and maintenance when live, making it simple to operate and easy to install. 

Five Major Thematic Areas Gather Top Giants in the Power Industry

As the leading power and electrical exhibition in the country, the organizer has specially set up five major market hotspot thematic areas, allowing buyers to more effectively and specifically find target exhibitors. The five major thematic areas include: 1. Smart Grid Equipment and Technology Area, 2. Power Automation Equipment and Technology Area, 3. Cables, Cable Accessories/Construction and Industrial Electrical Area, 4. Power Quality/Low Voltage Electrical Area, 5. Power Environmental Protection and Energy Saving Area. The conference will work with a number of well-known power industry leaders, including ABB, Siemens, Schneider, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Legrand, Huaming, Wietek, Southern Power, Toshiba, etc., to promote the development of the domestic power industry and build the EP exhibition into the most influential professional equipment and technology exchange platform in the Asian power industry.
