🌟Making coal mining smarter! On Oct 19, the MG3450 shearer was installed at the Bulianta Coal Mine of China Energy Shendong Coal, supporting coal production at the mine. As China's highest-power intelligent shearer for large mining heights, it features an installed power of 3,450 kW and fully localized core components. With multiple industry-leading performance metrics, it is built for complex mining conditions, ensuring high-yield and efficient production. The successful installation paves the way for future commissioning and operation, while offering insights for the underground application of China's self-developed high-end intelligent mining equipment.

⚡As more renewables join the grid, flexibility matters more than ever. On Oct 9, #ChinaEnergy's "Supercapacitor-Based Thermal-Storage Hybrid Primary Frequency Regulation Demonstration Project" passed its grid-connected primary frequency regulation performance test. It marked the official commissioning of the group's first power-type thermal-storage hybrid primary frequency regulation project, with all storage units using supercapacitors. The project boosts power plant flexibility, improves grid coordination and supports greater renewable energy integration — offering a replicable model for modernizing coal-fired power plants and for building a new-type power system.
