Chapter 287 Quench protection? Wang Hao: What a coincidence, we want to develop it
SMES battery!
Antigravity Behavior Research Center, large conference room.
Sitting under the stage were He Yi, Xiang Qiansheng, Liu Yunli, and Ke Jinnan, the technical representative of the Aerospace Group.
Wang Hao sat on the main seat and said, "This time, everyone should have news in advance about the aerospace group's decision."
Ke Jinnan and He Yi both nodded.
The aerospace group's decision is big news, and anyone with internal channels will definitely know about it. Because of this, they will focus on the research of anti-gravity aircraft.
Wang Hao continued, "I just listened to your discussion. I believe we have no problems with anti-gravity technology and the overall design of the aircraft."
"The key, as Team Leader Ke said, lies in motivation..."
Everyone nodded.
If the power problem can be solved and high-power electrical energy can be provided, everything else will not be a problem.
Wang Hao continued, "If there is any problem, we will solve it. Since we have encountered a power problem, we will find a way to solve it."
Ke Jinnan couldn't help but said, "Academician Wang, power is not a small problem. We can't be on the aircraft..."
Wang Hao waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Team Leader Ke, I've already thought about it."
He looked at everyone and said, "I am going to set up an electromagnetic energy group to focus on developing high-power superconducting batteries based on SMES technology."
Everyone in the conference room was shocked.
He Yi, Xiang Qiansheng and others are better off. They have always supported Wang Hao's decision 100%, and even worship Wang Hao himself.
The aviation group, that is, the people in Ke Jinnan's group, have completely different ideas.
SMES...battery?
In SMES power storage technology, only American's research team has confirmed that it has completed experimental research and is preparing to build the first ultra-large power storage device.
Domestic SMES power storage technology has been under research, and no relevant results have been disclosed.
As a result, they are planning to 'skip' the large-scale power storage device part and go directly to the development of 'SMES batteries'?
This is unreliable no matter how you think about it!
After the meeting ended, Ke Jinnan immediately chased Wang Hao and asked, "Academician Wang, Academician Wang, SMES is not a small problem. The domestic research team has not yet achieved results. We decided to develop batteries, right..."
"Can you at least give it a try?"
Wang Hao didn't say anything, and explained, "And it's not like we don't have a foundation."
"Do you have a foundation?" Ke Jinnan suddenly felt a little confused. He had not seen the SMES-related research team at Xihai University.
"Of course there is a foundation." Wang Hao said matter-of-factly, "Isn't there a team in China? We refer to their designs and then improve, upgrade, shrink..."
He continued thinking, "Talent is also an issue. Let me think about this again. Leader Ke, your team is still responsible for aircraft design. We must do a good job in this aspect."
"By then, we had built the battery, but there was a problem with the aircraft design, which slowed down the progress..."
Ke Jinnan quickly nodded and said, "That won't happen. In terms of aircraft design, Academician Wang, don't worry!"
"That's good."
Wang Hao said and walked out, and gave a special reminder, "Don't worry about hybrid, it's battery power."
"well……"
Ke Jinnan agreed and shook his head helplessly. He didn't even have SMES power storage technology. Want to study SMES batteries?
No matter how you think about it, it's a bit unreliable.
He Yi came over and said with a smile, "Team Leader Ke, if you ask me, you just think too much."
"ah?"
"Academician Wang has decided to study SMES batteries. We can just support him. We are not asking you to study it. It has nothing to do with our work!"
"Moreover, the aviation group has funding. For Academician Wang, what's the big deal if it consumes hundreds of millions? The aviation group has an annual funding of one billion, so if it's not used, wouldn't it be wasted?"
"Um...that's right."
Ke Jinnan thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the truth.
Even if it throws out a few hundred million with eyes closed, without even a splash, the aviation group will not blame Wang Hao, and may support another few hundred million. What should he worry about?
…
Wang Hao left the Antigravity Behavior Research Center and went to the newly established Mathematics Center.
The Mathematics Center was established by Xihai University to develop the School of Science. Luan Haiping, the dean of the School of Science, serves as the director and handles some related work. Wang Hao is the deputy director in name only and only occasionally comes to see what interesting research is happening in the Mathematics Center.
The maintenance and development of the mathematics center mainly relies on financial subsidies from the school, Northern Xinjiang Province and the country. At the same time, the mathematics center's funds will also subsidize mathematics projects in the school.
As soon as Wang Hao walked to the door, he met Zhou Qingyuan who was coming out.
Zhou Qingyuan was overjoyed when he saw Wang Hao and immediately took him to the office on the first floor, but did not say anything specific.
With doubts, Wang Hao started chatting with Zhou Qingyuan.
Zhou Qingyuan wanted to talk to Wang Hao about the issue of funding subsidies. He did not apply for a national subsidy for a study on partial differential equations, and could only rely on funding from the school and the mathematics center.
The school did provide financial aid, but it was only a measly 20,000 yuan.
It is not easy to apply for the Mathematics Center, which requires internal meetings every six months to make decisions.
Zhou Qingyuan wanted to ask Wang Hao about funding issues. He also wanted to attend an academic conference on partial differential equations, but as a result, even air tickets and hotels could not be reimbursed.
He was embarrassed to say it directly, but kept talking about him, and even became concerned about Wang Hao's work and life, "Wang Hao, it's time for you to get married. You will be thirty years old soon. I am in your position."
age……"
Wang Hao's scalp went numb after hearing this, "Okay, okay, I understand."
Zhou Qingyuan asked again about attending the meeting, "How was this time? Did you gain anything?" He didn't know the specific meeting, but he knew that Wang Hao was attending the meeting, so he asked casually.
Wang Hao also answered vaguely, "We have reached some cooperation. We just went to the meeting to discuss funding."
"Funding?"
Zhou Qingyuan suddenly became energetic, "How much funding were discussed?"
"Per year……"
Wang Hao hesitated and said a vague number, "A few hundred million."
"Hundreds of millions a year?!"
Zhou Qingyuan suddenly opened his mouth in shock, thinking that for tens of thousands of yuan in subsidies, he ran around in depression, and even came here to find Wang Hao.
Wang Hao's side, hundreds of millions of people die every year...from drought to death, from floods to death from floods!
He suddenly felt even more depressed, so he said directly, "Wang Hao, I came to you for funding. I have a research project, but the project application was not approved, so I can only raise it myself and get some subsidies from the school."
Zhou Qingyuan spoke patiently.
In the past two years, it has become difficult to apply for funding for basic mathematical research projects in areas such as partial differential equations and number theory, because the Science Foundation's mathematical projects focus on the combination of semitopology and algebraic geometry.
This direction has taken away half of the funds, and other research has naturally been greatly affected.
Wang Hao also understood Zhou Qingyuan's problem of not being able to apply for funds. The Mathematics Center had just established another one and relied on funding from superiors, so it was even less possible to provide large subsidies.
Wang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, Teacher Zhou, I will personally fund it..."
"That won't work!"
Zhou Qingyuan immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not that poor yet. I just want to do research and attend academic conferences. I can't always advance money by myself, right?"
"Right."
Wang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Zhou, don't worry. After a while, the funds will be available."
"Really?" Zhou Qingyuan was a little confused.
"Do not worry."
Wang Hao gave a definite answer, but did not explain the specific source of funding.
In fact, it was his personal investment.
Last month, he received a $1 million prize from the AmeriKenklay Institute for solving the NS equation problem.
In addition, Japan's Shimada Kepoku Corporation has also issued a bonus of 400 million yen for the NS equation problem.
The two parts of the bonus added together are approximately nearly 30 million yuan.
Wang Hao is planning to establish a mathematics foundation to provide certain financial support to scholars doing basic mathematics research.
The Mathematics Foundation is being established and will be almost complete by next month and will be able to officially start operations.
With a funding of 30 million, plus accepting social donations, it is still very easy to maintain operations.
Although the support for each scholar is not high, there is no problem for scholars and research projects that pass the review to receive tens of thousands of subsidies.
…
One week later.
A team sent by the SMES power storage research team came to Xihai University. Unexpectedly, the leader of the team was a female researcher in her twenties.
At the door of the conference room of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, Wang Hao looked at the visitor with some surprise, and stretched out his hand with confusion, "Liang Jingye?"
"Academician Wang, hello."
Liang Jingye has shoulder-length short hair and two big, bright eyes, giving people a capable and cheerful look.
When she shook hands with Wang Hao, she smiled with dimples on her face, but her slightly flustered movements showed she was still a little nervous, and she still looked a little cute.
Wang Hao took a few more glances and was indeed a little surprised.
Team leaders of large-scale domestic scientific research projects are generally experienced researchers. Let alone those in their twenties, even those in their thirties are rare.
He let Liang Jingye and others into the conference room. After everyone sat down, he went straight to the topic and asked, "Team Leader Liang, I heard something on the phone, but I don't know the specific situation yet. You guys
What problems did you encounter this time?"
When talking about work, Liang Jingye immediately spoke seriously, "Academician Wang, we have many research problems, and the biggest problem lies in the quench protection system."
"We have completed the overall design of the SMES power storage device and manufactured the model, but when testing..."
Liang Jingye spoke seriously.
The quench protection system of SMES power storage technology is a big problem.
Superconducting energy storage coils will cause quench phenomena due to instantaneous overcurrent, thermal disturbances, etc., accompanied by instantaneous increases in resistance, overheating, instantaneous high voltage, etc. Therefore, superconducting energy storage coils require a quench protection system to ensure
Safety of superconducting energy storage coils.
"We use electrical parameters such as detection resistance and voltage to determine the quench signal of the coil. However, due to the large inductance of the superconducting energy storage coil, the operating current of the energy storage coil is in a fluctuating state, which makes the detection of the quench signal difficult.
Great difficulties have arisen.”
"We also thought of a way to simultaneously detect the evaporation of the refrigerant and the temperature change of the most susceptible part of the energy storage coil to monitor the quench signal, but there is a long lag due to the thermal reaction."
"We have done a lot of improvement work, but problems still occur during experiments..."
After speaking, Liang Jingye took out a piece of information and handed it to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao took it and looked at it. It was the topology structure diagram of the SMES power storage quench protection system. He looked at it carefully, then frowned and said, "Team Leader Liang, is this a systemic problem? Something like this
You come to me and you can't solve the problem in a short time, right?"
Systemic problems are problems caused by a series of factors. Just like a newly designed new engine, there will definitely be various bugs, and it will take a long time to slowly improve it.
If a complex aero engine is involved, it will take even longer to perfect.
The first domestically researched aero engine took more than five years to complete and then entered the mass production stage after another three years of debugging.
The same goes for current SMES power storage devices. As soon as the test product is designed and manufactured, there must be a series of problems.
This is not a direct mathematical problem that only needs to be solved, but a systematic system that needs to be corrected slowly.
After listening to Wang Hao's words, Liang Jingye also felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, before coming here, she told Pan Dong that asking Wang Hao might not be able to solve the problem. Unless she directly participated in the experiment and slowly solved the systemic problem together, there was no other way.
Pan Dong still insisted on asking Wang Hao.
She just came here.
Wang Hao simply closed the document, changed the topic and asked, "Team Leader Liang, you are the team leader at such a young age, you must know a lot about SMES technology, right?"
Liang Jingye raised her head and said, "When I was studying for my Ph.D., I studied with Teacher Pan and participated in the entire project. I also participated in the initial design."
"In other words, you know a lot about SMES devices?"
A researcher next to him suddenly said, "Academician Wang, when it comes to the SMES device, no one in our entire research group knows it better than Team Leader Liang. She has participated in almost all aspects of the design of the device."
Someone followed and said, "You may think that Team Leader Liang is young and has just graduated with a Ph.D., but our entire team respects her."
"Without Team Leader Liang, the current progress would not be possible..."
Everyone else was full of praise.
Liang Jingye lowered her head in embarrassment, with a touch of rosiness on her cheeks.
Wang Hao stared at Liang Jingye and nodded with satisfaction.
Liang Jingye was obviously a little shy. She didn't understand what Wang Hao meant and couldn't help but think about it.
Then Wang Hao said, "Team Leader Liang, quench protection is a systemic problem. To solve this problem, the entire system needs to be re-examined."
"It is not advisable to make corrections slowly, otherwise if one problem is solved, another problem may arise."
Liang Jingye sounded a little confused, obviously not understanding what Wang Hao meant.
Wang Hao continued, "In fact, we also have plans for SMES technology research."
"ah?"
Liang Jingye was stunned immediately.
Others don’t understand what Wang Hao means. They are the only research group in the country on SMES power storage technology. Why is Wang Hao also preparing to conduct research?
Wang Haodao, "We have cooperation with the aviation group and need to develop high-performance batteries, and SMES technology is the most suitable."
"...Battery?" Liang Jingye opened her mouth slightly, with a face full of surprise.
Even their research on large-scale power storage has a series of problems. Wang Hao is directly studying SMES batteries.
"right."
Wang Hao nodded firmly, "We will establish the project soon. What we lack most at the moment is talents, especially talents like you."
What he said was 'you', but he only looked at Liang Jingye with burning eyes.
Others understand the meaning too.
Ordinary researchers are everywhere, but people like Liang Jingye are very rare.
no doubt.
If Liang Jingye agrees to participate in SMES battery research, Wang Hao won't mind poaching their entire team.
on the contrary.
Liang Jingye disagrees, and the value of others is not great...
This is the reality.
Others immediately looked at Liang Jingye with burning eyes. Being able to join the research on higher-end SMES batteries and working with Wang Hao was simply too attractive.
Even if we only consider it from the perspective of funding, Wang Hao's projects will never lack funding.
At that time, the salary and bonuses will increase, and if you do research with Wang Hao, you will also have a lot of face when it comes to public opinion.
Each of them was very moved.
Liang Jingye looked a little flustered. She raised her head and looked at Wang Hao, and suddenly she became even more flustered.
This was not because of any gender issues, but mainly because Wang Hao's poaching was so sudden that she didn't know how to react.
For one thing, the other party is Academician Wang Hao!
Secondly, she was not an ordinary researcher, she was researching with Teacher Pan Dong, so there was no way she could just leave.
Also, SMES battery? Sounds a little unreliable...
But just like everyone else thought, working for Wang Hao was so attractive.
In the future, I will no longer worry about funding issues, the pressure will not be so great, and I can still work with Academician Wang Hao.
Liang Jingye raised her head and glanced at Wang Hao. She struggled for a long time and finally said, "Academician Wang, this matter is too sudden. I need to think about it carefully."
Wang Hao smiled and said, "I understand how you feel. Go back and think about it slowly, I really look forward to you joining me."
…
Liang Jingye’s group left.
Wang Hao has a good sense of Liang Jingye, and Liang Jingye knows the SMES device very well, so he can serve as the backbone of the research team after being hired.
Liang Jingye is still very young and is obviously an outstanding talent. Her future can be said to be unlimited.
On the other side, Liang Jingye boarded the plane back with others.
Liang Jingye is not the kind of character who can hold things back, and she even seemed a little restless along the way.
Ma Xuebing sat next to Liang Jingye. He couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Liang, are you still thinking about Academician Wang?"
Liang Jingye nodded and said, "Mr. Ma, why do you think Academician Wang suddenly wants me to come over?"
"Why is it so sudden?" Ma Xuebing said, "You didn't hear Academician Wang say that they are preparing to set up a research group. This time I guess they saw your excellence and wanted you to come over."
"But, we are here this time..."
Ma Xuebing shook his head and said, "I thought I shouldn't come at first. Is the quench protection system so easy to solve? Unless Academician Wang joins our research, but is it possible?"
After he finished speaking, he added, "If you ask me, Professor Pan just lost his mind and came up with such a method."
Liang Jingye nodded in agreement, pursed her lips and asked, "Then what should we do? Academician Wang said..."
"It depends on what you think." Ma Xuebing said with a smile, "I am definitely inclined to agree. Now that we are doing SMES research alone, it feels far away."
"America is already preparing to build a large-scale project. There is a lot of pressure, and the superiors can't wait too long. A few years, more than ten years? Impossible."
"It would be good to go to Academician Wang to do new types of research. Xiaoliang, think about it, is this true?"
"Right……"
Liang Jingye also thought carefully.
She is naturally aware of the progress of the SMES power storage device research team and knows that the future prospects are not good.
If you join Academician Wang Hao's research group, you will be able to further study SMES batteries. Moreover, Academician Wang Hao appreciates you very much, and the treatment you get here will definitely not be bad.
Coming here is indeed a good choice...
It’s just Teacher Pan Dong...
Liang Jingye bit her lip gently and fell into a tangled state again.
