CYG SUNRI: Protecting Power Grids as Always, the Leader of Relay Protection Never Loses its Competitiveness

In 2016, TÜV Rheinland Greater China granted an IEC 61850 Server Ed.2 Certificate Level A to CYG SUNRI Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CYG SUNRI”) for its PRS-753 line protection equipment, indicating that the related product of CYG SUNRI has been recognized by the most authoritative authority in the world.


So far, CYG SUNRI products and services have been successfully applied to more than 10,000 substations with voltage of 35kV~1000kV around the world. Among them, there are more than 2,000 smart substations with 61850 as the core. In recent years, CYG SUNRI ranked first in terms of the value of bid-winning smart substation projects of State Grid, and kept top share of bid-winning UHV protection and UHV monitoring projects. It also won several bids for charging piles projects of State Grid and China Southern Power Grid. In addition, it kept ahead in automation of power distribution and use...


What development strategy guides the company starting with relay protection business to become the leader of the power industry that is admired and imitated by other players in the industry? At the 16th EP China 2016, SHUPEIDIAN.BJX.COM.CN interviewed Xu Chengbin, General Manager of CYG SUNRI.


Always Take the Road of Professionalism Regardless of the Changes in the Market


“The power industry is an amazing industry. It is quite common to see new concepts and new technologies, such as the smart grid construction in full swing and the energy Internet being built,” said Xu Chengbin, General Manager of CYG SUNRI. However, the power industry values scientific research experience and technological innovation. For new products and new trends, CYG SUNRI will make forward-looking evaluation based on protection control, communication automation, electric power and electronics, system integration and engineering technology to ensure that its products are professional and will bring value to users and contribute to industry development. ”


"It is not easy to persist in doing one thing well all the time regardless of the changes of the market". The company remains true to its original aspiration. It has delved into power system protection and control for more than 20 years, and has played a positive leading role in the industry.


In 1994, the Research Office of Component Protection and Substation Integrated Automation of the Electric Power Automation Institute under the Ministry of Electric Power Industry was restructured into a company, that is CYG SUNRI. It is one of China’s first enterprises engaged in scientific research, production and services of microcomputer protection and substation integrated automation, and it has the best technical sources of power system protection and control.


By virtue of its great scientific research strength, CYG SUNRI independently developed the first-generation domestic substation integrated automation ISA series products in the year of its establishment, and put them into use successfully; In the following year, it launched the BP microcomputer busbar protection system, which filled the gap in the industry. Up to now, the market share of this product has remained above 50%. CYG SUNRI lives up to its reputation as a leading domestic brand of busbar protection. Now the company's business has covered various fields of power system automation, including “power generation, transmission, transformation, distribution and use”. It has achieved excellent results in multiple fields, making contribution to the power technology innovation and the rapid growth of China's power industry.


With more than 20 years of experience in the power industry, CYG SUNRI has long maintain the leading position in the field of UHV protection and monitoring in China by virtue of its superiority in technology and services, and has won a number of bids for UHV projects, including: A number of stations of multiple 1000kV UHV demonstration projects, such as "Southeast Shanxi-Nanyang-Jingmen", “Eastward Transmission of Anhui’s Electric Power", "North Zhejiang-Fuzhou", “Mengxi-South Tianjin" and "Yuheng-Weifang".


CYG SUNRI is the first enterprise in the industry to launch in-situ protection products. Its in-situ protection products have been successfully put into trial operation in six substations in Zhejiang, Shanghai and Fujian. Over the four winters and summers, the products have resisted many typhoons. They still operate normally in harsh natural environment and electromagnetic environment, and respond correctly to faults.


In the “PV 630 campaign” of this year (after June 30, 2016, the subsidies for PV power generation projects are decreased, so the PV industry had large-scale construction in the first half of the year), the first phase of the National Advanced Technology PV Demonstration Base in Datong Coal Mining Subsidence Area included 13 PV power stations and 10 PV booster stations, with a total installed capacity of 1GW. CYG SUNRI was responsible for the EPC of secondary equipment of all PV booster stations (eight 110kV stations and two 220kV stations) and nearly half of the PV monitoring tasks in the project. On the premise of ensuring quality and safety, CYG SUNRI ensured successful operation of the 10 booster stations as scheduled.


Depth of the Industry and Breadth of the Economic Sector


Only the coexistence of depth and breadth can bring better market space.


People, perhaps by their nature, have a fear of electricity. The more we learn about electricity, the more we fear it. The safety and stability is the premise of ensuring reliable power supply.


Xu Chengbin noted that, “Ensuring equipment safety, system stability and reliable power supply of systems is the paramount standard, the ultimate goal, and the most basic principle. ”


As a leader of the power industry, CYG SUNRI has expanded its business scope and paid close attention to emerging technologies on the premise of maintaining its in-depth development in the industry and advanced technology. It ensures to provide users with professional and all-round secondary power equipment and system integration solutions, as well as integrated engineering project services including consultation, design, construction and commissioning. So far CYG SUNRI has mature design, process and engineering practice experience in grid protection and control, distribution automation, intelligent primary equipment, online monitoring of power transmission and transformation, power grid security, stability and control, electric and electronic equipment. It is the owner of a number of proprietary intellectual property products, and the winner of many scientific and technological innovation awards and scientific and technological progress awards.


In the future, with the aim of serving China’s power industry and promoting the development of China’s high-tech sector, CYG SUNRI will maintain its advantages in technology, quality, services and management, constantly pursue excellence, and try to make greater contributions to the growth and prosperity of China’s power industry. CYG SUNRI is a Chinese enterprise and a Chinese brand to be proud of. We look forward to witnessing its growth in the power industry.
