Welcome to the School of Automation of Wuhan University of Technology!
On April 3, 2026, the School of Automation of Wuhan University of Technology specially invited Academician Jiang Jing from Western University, Canada, to visit the university for academic exchange activities. The event was presided over by Vice Dean Li Xiangshun of the school. The academic lecture was held in Conference Center Room 104, and the faculty symposium was conducted in Conference Center Room 103. Six faculty representatives and 40 student representatives participated in this exchange.
Academician Jiang Jing delivered an academic sharing themed Collaborative Development of AI Computing Power and Energy Systems. Centering on the core viewpoint that "The ultimate goal of AI is computing power, the ultimate goal of computing power is electricity, and the ultimate goal of electricity is the energy system", he deeply analyzed the challenges posed by the rapid development of artificial intelligence to the infrastructure of power systems. He interpreted the energy consumption structure and key energy-consuming subsystems of data centers, introduced technical approaches to improve energy efficiency such as liquid cooling and intelligent energy management, and expounded the supporting role of diversified power supply modes (including multi-power access, microgrids and energy storage systems) in the stability of power grids.
Academician Jiang Jing focused on the development concept of computing-power and electricity collaboration, put forward the implementation path to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions through dynamic matching of computing power demand and power resources, and discussed the application potential of renewable energy in power supply for AI data centers as well as the core elements of data center planning and site selection, bringing cutting-edge and systematic academic content to the teachers and students present.
Subsequently, the participating teachers held in-depth discussions with Academician Jiang Jing in Conference Center Room 103 on topics including the construction of new energy power systems, inter-university scientific research cooperation, discipline development and talent cultivation, which further consolidated academic consensus and broadened cooperation ideas.
This academic exchange focused on the cutting-edge development of digital infrastructure and new power systems, effectively broadened the academic horizons of teachers and students of the school, and injected new impetus into the scientific research innovation and discipline construction of the school in the fields of new energy power, computing-power and electricity collaboration, smart grids and other related areas.
