Recently, the China Electrotechnical Society (CES) issued a decision to recognize the winners of the 2024 Science and Technology Awards. According to the "CES Science and Technology Award Guidelines," the CES Science and Technology Award Review Committee selected 155 award-winning projects for the 2024 awards, including 2 Special Prizes, 31 First Prizes, 50 Second Prizes, and 72 Third Prizes.
Professor He Jinliang from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Electronics (EEA) at Tsinghua University, as the first contributor, and Tsinghua University, as the lead institution, received the Special Prize for their achievement "Core Components, Key Technologies, and Applications of High-Performance Lightning Arresters for Transient Overvoltage Protection in Power Systems." This achievement developed a comprehensive protection technology system for transient overvoltage in power systems, driving the technological upgrading and scientific self-reliance in China's lightning arrester industry. It also enabled the deep suppression of operational overvoltages in ultra-high voltage systems and contributed to the economic development, significantly enhancing the power transmission capacity of large-scale renewable energy bases.
