Powering the BEST — Sineng Electric Safeguards China Burning plasma Experimental superconducting Tokamak Project

Recently, China's Burning plasma Experimental superconducting Tokamak (BEST Project) has entered a new stage of main structure construction, drawing widespread attention across the scientific community. Behind the project's steady progress, Sineng Electric, as one of the innovative technology providers, is playing a vital role by delivering comprehensive power quality solutions, ensuring the project's power stability and operational safety throughout future research phases.

Occupying approximately 16 hectares with a total construction area of 153,700 square meters, the BEST Project aims to develop a controllable fusion device—often referred to as a "man-made sun"—that can continuously generate fusion energy similar to the natural sun. Fusion energy is characterized by high efficiency, sustainability, and clean safety, and is expected to become a promising solution to the world's growing energy challenges.

As one of the world's most cutting-edge scientific undertakings, the BEST Project imposes extremely stringent requirements on power supply reliability. Power quality issues could trigger cascading risks, including system shutdowns, data loss, hardware damage, and even experiment failure. Facing such demanding conditions, Sineng Electric's comprehensive power quality portfolio provides a comprehensive and reliable safeguard against these potential risks.

Sineng's Active Power Filter (APF) solution continuously monitors grid harmonics and generates compensating currents through converters to dynamically filter harmonic distortion. Meanwhile, the Static Var Generator (SVG) solution represents the forefront of reactive power compensation technology, enabling real-time dynamic adjustment of inductive and capacitive reactive power without overcompensation or under compensation, thereby stabilizing system voltage effectively.

From solar and energy storage to hydrogen and now fusion energy, Sineng Electric has remained a proactive force in driving the global energy transition. Looking ahead, the company will continue to advance power electronics technologies and deliver intelligent, high-efficiency solutions that empower the clean energy revolution—working hand in hand with industry partners to accelerate the journey toward a zero-carbon future.
