Technological Innovation
By aiming to improve our technological innovation ability, we will make efforts on technological development and marketing, combine original innovation, integrated innovation and digested innovation, accelerate translation of technological innovation into productivity, strengthen IPR protection, and therefore continuously sharpen our competitive edge.
Improved self innovation system. We have established Shenhua Technology Center, and under the approval of
Ministry of Personnel we set up “Shenhua Postdoctoral Research Center”. Ministry of Science and Technology,
NDRC and All China Federation of Trade Unions have selected Shenhua Group in pilot of “Innovative Enterprise”.
The Publicity Department of CPC Central Committee and State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration
Commission have included Shenhua Group in the three exemplary innovative state-owned enterprises.
Fruitful achievements in technological innovation. We worked with related Chinese companies in the designing and producing of 20 sets of roof supports ranging from 2.4 meters to 6.3 meters, saving more than RMB 2 billion compared with imported ones. We raised the coal recovery ratio by 4 percentage points by applying “extended working face technology” in 15 working faces in Shendong Mines. “Efficient & safe combustion technology for 600 MW power generation units” (“Shenhua Coal” fired) has passed trail operation in unit
4, Taishan. IT-based management pushed forward. IT-based management plan for Shendong Mines has been finished, production management system, dynamic management of mining operation links, complete equipment and production programming have all been IT-based. By using interval equipment diagnose system, we reduced the downtime per ten thousand coal production. Gas monitoring system has been used underground, and underground miner positioning system has been used in Shendong Mines to assure a safety operation. The Office Automation system has been in operation in Shenhua Group and China Shenhua. At the same time, Automation has also been adopted in our railway companies, Huanghua Harbor and Tianjin Coal Berth, further improving efficiency.
