Shenmu Group and Xi’an Jiaotong University sign agreement to establish an Institute for Energy Storage Technology and Equipment. Release date: 2025-11-13. On November 6, Xi’an Jiaotong University and Shenmu Group held a signing and inauguration ceremony at the Xingqing Campus; the two parties officially established the \"Shenmu Group-Xi’an Jiaotong University Institute for Energy Storage Technology and Equipment\", and launched the \"3500kW multi-stage turbine compressor testing system\". In his speech, President Zhang Liqun said that Xi’an Jiaotong University has always been committed to serving major strategic initiatives and promoting deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. As a strategic leader in China’s equipment manufacturing sector, SHENGU Group bears the mission of ensuring **autonomy and control over critical equipment. The cooperation between the two parties began in the 1980s, and over the past four decades it has yielded fruitful results in areas such as talent development and technology research. The establishment of this joint research institute is an important step taken by the university to implement a industry-led mechanism for integrating research, education, and production. It is hoped that both parties will bring together top-tier talents to contribute more to the high-quality development of China’s equipment manufacturing sector. Chairman Dai Jishuang reviewed the more than 40 years of cooperation between the two parties. He noted that Shengyu Group is fully implementing the “3+N” development strategy, striving to become a world-class enterprise. Through its long-term cooperation with Xi’an Jiaotong University, the group has achieved numerous successes in areas such as talent development and technological innovation; a large number of graduates from Jiaotong University have become key drivers of innovation within the company. He looks forward to further expanding the breadth and depth of cooperation in the future, leveraging Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s academic strengths to support the group’s fulfillment of **strategic goals. Academician He Yaling said that SHENGU Group has repeatedly ventured into the ‘deep waters’ of technology, achieving breakthroughs in the domestic production of key equipment in fields such as nuclear energy. She expects the joint research institute to continue to be guided by **strategies, and to use technological collaboration and innovation to enable self-reliance in major equipment development. During the signing ceremony, Professor Xi Guang and Chief Engineer Zhang Yong signed the project agreement for \"Development and Verification of High-Performance Model-Level Systems with Ultra-High Flow Coefficients,\" while Secretary Cao Feng and Chief Engineer Zhang Yong signed the project agreement for \"Development of Typical Carbon Dioxide Heat Pumps for Temperature Ranges from 0°C to 600°C.\" Zhang Liqun, Dai Jishuang, and others jointly unveiled the plaque for the research institute and the testing system. After the ceremony, Dai Jishuang and his party visited the Digital Exhibition Hall of Innovation Port, the Museum of Xi’an Jiaotong University’s Relocation, and the Institute of Energy Science and Technology. This collaboration marks a new phase in the deep integration between the two parties in the field of energy storage technology and equipment, and it will inject new momentum into the independent innovation of energy equipment and the upgrading of related industries in our country.
