Chen Baichao, male, from Wuhan, Hubei Province, 1960, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow, professor, doctoral supervisor, member of discipline evaluation group of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee (Electrical Engineering Group), member of overvoltage sub-committee of China Electrical Engineering Society, and distinguished researcher of State Grid Electric Power Research Institute (Wuhan). 1982 After graduating from Huazhong Institute of Technology, he taught at Wuhan Air Force Radar College, and 1986 entered Wuhan University (formerly Wuhan Institute of Water Conservancy and Electric Power) for postgraduate study. He studied under Professor Chen Weixian, a famous high voltage expert in China and one of the founders of internal overvoltage specialty, and obtained the master's degree in engineering in 1989 and 1993 respectively. During the period from1997 to1998, as a senior visiting scholar of national public school, he cooperated in scientific research at RPI (Rensselaer Institute of Technology), a famous American engineering university. After returning to China, he served as the director of the Department of Electrical Engineering around 1999, and served as the vice president of the School of Electrical Engineering of Wuhan University from 2000 to 2008, during which he went to the United States, Japan, Singapore, North Korea and other places for academic exchanges.

Professor Chen Baichao has long been engaged in the research of overvoltage suppression in power system and the application of power electronics technology in the field of high voltage, especially in the field of magnetic saturation controllable reactors, and is an internationally renowned power electronics expert. Its leading scientific research team has successively developed a series of scientific research products, such as power arc suppression coils based on controllable reactors, magnetically controlled soft start devices for large motors, automatic reactive power compensation devices for electrified railways, and 6~ 1 10kV medium and high voltage magnetically controlled reactors. Most of them are the first in China and even in the world, with independent intellectual property rights, and have applied for a number of patents. The 1 100 kV controllable reactor developed by Professor Chen Baichao in Huaihua Tianjia Substation of Hunan Power Grid was put into operation in August 2007. During the period, it has withstood the test of harsh operating conditions such as the ice disaster in Hunan in early 2008, and has been well received by Hunan power grid and peers in the industry since its normal operation. This achievement is also the first magnetic saturation controllable reactor with independent intellectual property rights of 1 10kV. In May 2008, this achievement passed the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements organized by Hubei Science and Technology Department and presided over by many industry experts such as Yuan Pan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering. As the international leading level, it won the Hubei Science and Technology Progress Award. During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" and "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, its research group undertook a number of major national scientific research projects, and successively cooperated with many large enterprises such as State Grid Corporation, Northwest Power Grid Corporation, Hunan Power Grid Corporation, Jiangxi Power Grid Corporation and xi Railway Bureau, and achieved fruitful results.
