The 220-kilovolt Hefei Houdian Quantum Application Demonstration Substation is located in the core area of the Quantum Technology and Industrial Center in Hefei National High-Tech Industry Development Zone. It serves as a critical power supply hub for the Hefei National Laboratory, Deep Space Exploration Laboratory, Quantum Industrial Park, and other key facilities. This demonstration substation has deployed a total of 85 units across 18 categories of quantum power technology innovations, including quantum current transformers, integrated quantum DC energy meters, quantum dot multi-parameter sensors, and 5G+ quantum technology. It is the first operational substation in China to comprehensively apply quantum measurement, quantum communication, and quantum computing. These innovations enable intelligent perception of multiple grid processes and equipment states, enhance communication security in dispatch automation and distribution automation, and explore new technological routes for large-scale grid simulation and computation. The substation serves as a model for the construction and operation of intelligent substations empowered by quantum technology.

The Lu’an megawatt hydrogen energy comprehensive utilization demonstration project is jointly developed and designed by Anhui Company, China Electric Power Research Institute, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units, which is the first verification of the integrated hydrogen energy technology chain of “production-storage-generation” with independent intellectual property rights, and the core equipment of the project “megawatt-level proton exchange membrane hydrogen production and power generation system” was approved as the first (set) major technical equipment in the national energy field in 2023. Since it was put into operation in December 2021, it has participated in the peak regulation of the power grid for many times, fully verifying the supporting role of the hydrogen energy storage system in power protection.

Fusion Innovation Exhibition Hall is an important science education base of the Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
