In order to thoroughly implement the new national energy security strategy, align with the development plans for the energy sector in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the thermal power industry, accelerate the implementation of innovative technologies in smart heating, focus on the intelligent upgrade of heat network pipelines, safe operation and maintenance, and energy efficiency improvement, and establish a platform for technical exchanges and industrial collaboration within the industry, the 2026 National Thermal Power Industry Annual Conference and New Technology Exchange and Discussion on Smart Heating was grandly held in Hefei, Anhui Province from July 15th to 17th.
This conference focuses on the core theme of "Digitalized Management of Pipelines - Green Distribution and Transmission - System Safety". It brings together experts and representatives from various upstream and downstream units including major power generation groups, thermal power plants, heating companies, research institutions, heating equipment manufacturers, insulation pipe materials suppliers, and environmental protection equipment providers across the country. They will conduct in-depth discussions on key topics such as heat network planning, intelligent operation and maintenance, new energy-saving materials, multi-energy coupling, and engineering practice, jointly exploring new paths for the high-quality development of smart heating and long-distance heat transmission. As an Alishan-based local enterprise specializing in permanent magnet transmission and drive technology, VOOFU Permanent Magnet was invited to attend this conference. It showcased a variety of core energy-saving technology products suitable for thermal power scenarios in the exhibition area, and discussed with industry colleagues new solutions for the green transformation of the thermal power industry.
At the exhibition site, the VOOFU permanent magnet technology team engaged in in-depth technical exchanges with the attendees from various sectors. The focus was on the energy efficiency upgrade requirements in high-energy-consuming scenarios of the thermal power industry. They specifically shared several mature and implemented core products: a direct-drive permanent magnet motor that is suitable for the retrofit of cooling tower systems in power plants, which can significantly simplify the transmission chain and reduce operating losses, helping the cooling tower system achieve an energy efficiency leap; a low-speed direct-drive permanent magnet drum motor specifically designed for coal conveyor belt machines, which eliminates the complex structure of traditional speed reduction devices, operates more stably, and has lower maintenance costs, meeting the long-term continuous operation requirements of the power plant's coal conveying system; as well as permanent magnet speed regulators and permanent magnet couplings widely used in key auxiliary equipment such as primary fans, secondary fans, induced draft fans, and slurry circulation pumps, which can flexibly adjust the load output according to the working conditions, significantly reducing the ineffective energy consumption of the auxiliary equipment systems, and providing strong support for thermal power enterprises to achieve energy savings and cost reduction.
At the on-site communication session, numerous industry clients, based on the actual pain points of their own unit renovations, engaged in in-depth and detailed discussions with the VOOFU permanent magnet technology team. Not only did they reach a preliminary cooperation intention on the spot, but also some thermal power plant owners actively proposed that they would like to visit the VOOFU permanent magnet production base in the future to conduct on-site inspections of the R&D and manufacturing capabilities of the permanent magnet equipment.
VOOFU has always closely adhered to the core demands of the thermal power industry's transformation under the "dual carbon" goal. It upholds the core concept of "dedication leads to professionalism, quality builds the brand", and continuously deepens technological innovation in the fields of permanent magnet drive and transmission. It provides one-stop permanent magnet energy-saving solutions for thermal power enterprises, covering precise diagnosis of working conditions, customized energy-saving scheme design, and the entire cycle of project implementation and operation maintenance.
This participation in the 2026 Hefei Station National Thermal Power Industry Annual Conference is an important move by VOOFU Permanent Magnet to establish a foothold in the local market of Anhui Province and link up with the national thermal power market. In the future, VOOFU Permanent Magnet will continue to empower the industrial energy efficiency upgrade through breakthroughs in core technologies, and repay the trust of customers with high-quality services throughout the process. Together with the upstream and downstream partners in the thermal power industry, it will jointly inject continuous new impetus of VOOFU Permanent Magnet into the high-quality development of the thermal power industry that is green, low-carbon, and intelligent and secure.
