Huangpu garners 22 Guangdong Science and Technology Awards

Guangzhou's Huangpu district has bagged 22 prizes at the 2020 Guangdong Science and Technology Awards, an increase of more than 20 percent from last year. 

Of the 22 projects, 20 were undertaken by enterprises, and of these 13 were undertaken by high-tech enterprises.

The COVID-19 prevention and control strategy and clinical treatment program led by Zhong Nanshan, a prominent Chinese respiratory expert and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, won the grand prize of the 2020 Guangdong Science and Technology Progress Awards, a subcategory of the main awards.

CSG Electric Power Research Institute won first prize in the Progress Awards due to its key technological breakthroughs and core component localization for power chip protection.

The project has established a sound ecosystem of domestically-developed cores, CPU chips, and operating systems, solving the long-term dependence on imported core chips and operating systems for power grid equipment, said Ni Guangnan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Following eight years of work, CSG Electric Power Research Institute has developed Fuxi, China's first master chip used for electric power. The product has been applied on a large scale in many industries and is exported to more than 10 countries, creating a direct economic revenue of 1.15 billion yuan ($179.7 million).
