Guilin Power Capacitor Co., Ltd
-- Strengthen the foundation with talent, and forge the soul with skill
Industry-research collaboration drives the upgrading of power equipment
Guilin Power Capacitor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "GPCL") was founded in 1967, formerly known as Guilin Power Capacitor General Factory, a direct subordinate enterprise of the former Ministry of Machinery. It is the first large-scale power capacitor factory independently designed and constructed in China. Over the past six decades, the company has adhered to the technological innovation philosophy of "producing one generation, reserving one generation, researching and developing one generation, and planning one generation". It regards talent as the primary resource driving the high-quality development of the enterprise. The company has won the National Science and Technology Progress Award twice for special awards and once for first prize, making it the only professional manufacturing enterprise in the capacitor industry to receive such honors. It has now become a large-scale and technologically leading power capacitor research, development, and manufacturing base in China.
1. Strengthen the foundation and gather talents to consolidate the development foundation
The high-quality construction of the postdoctoral research station lies in platform support and focuses on institutional guarantees. GPCL promoted the establishment of the station to high standards. In the second half of 2022, it was approved to establish an autonomous regional postdoctoral innovation practice base. In the first half of 2023, it was successfully approved as a national postdoctoral research station, achieving a "two-level jump" in the construction of the postdoctoral platform within one year, and has introduced and trained a total of three postdoctoral researchers. Since its establishment, the station has strictly adhered to the standards for station construction, established a full-process management system for goal setting, process control, and achievement assessment, set up a postdoctoral management office staffed with full-time management personnel, issued the "Management Measures for Postdoctoral Research Stations", revised institutional documents such as the "Technical Innovation Management System" and the "Technical Innovation Achievement Award Management System", and promoted the deep integration of technological breakthroughs and academic research. Relying on high-level scientific research carriers such as the provincial-level technical center, Guangxi Power Capacitor Engineering Technology Research Center, R&D test laboratory, and high-voltage test hall, the station has been established. The test laboratory is the only research base in China's power capacitor industry that can comprehensively carry out research on the physicochemical and electrical properties of dielectric materials and their combined application performance, laying a solid hardware foundation for postdoctoral researchers to carry out cutting-edge topics. At the same time, the company provides dedicated office space, advanced testing equipment, and library materials for postdoctoral researchers, implements a competitive salary system and housing security policy, ensuring that postdoctoral researchers can focus on scientific research and innovation without distractions.

2. Collaborative talent cultivation, connecting the introduction and cultivation links
GPCL takes the innovation of the introduction and cultivation mechanism as its core, connecting the entire chain of high-level talent introduction, cultivation, and utilization. In terms of "introduction", the company proactively collaborates with well-known universities in the region, such as Guangxi University and Guilin University of Electronic Technology, to form a mechanism for collaborative recruitment and targeted training between postdoctoral workstations and mobile stations. This mechanism precisely matches the company's scientific research needs, allowing the right talents to work on the right projects. In terms of "cultivation", a "dual-mentor system" is implemented, where the workstation appoints an industry mentor and hires a cooperative mentor from the mobile station. The industry mentor focuses on practical engineering and controlling the direction of research, while the cooperative mentor monitors academic frontiers and enhances research depth, promoting the integration of theory and practice, as well as the blending of academia and business. In terms of "utilization", postdoctoral researchers are given significant roles, deeply participating in provincial and ministerial-level scientific research projects and key technological breakthroughs for enterprises, accelerating their growth through solving practical problems. In September 2026, the first postdoctoral researcher jointly trained by GPCL and Guilin University of Electronic Technology successfully completed the exit report meeting and smoothly exited the station, marking the initial effectiveness and feasibility of the workstation's high-level talent cultivation mechanism.

3. Cultivate talents through industry-research collaboration, and foster fruitful transformation
Leveraging the postdoctoral workstation as a bridge, GPCL fosters the integration of cutting-edge theories into practical applications, yielding innovative outcomes on the front lines of technological challenges. The postdoctoral researchers stationed at the workstation directly tackle the pain points and difficulties inherent in the technological breakthroughs and industrial transformation and upgrading of the power capacitor industry, anchoring their research projects at the forefront of the industry. From enhancing the reliability of ultra-high voltage AC and DC filter capacitors to making breakthroughs in key materials and processes for dry metallized film capacitors; from the localization of DC support capacitors to the intelligent upgrade of complete sets of power quality management devices; from research on the substitution application of domestic thin films for filter capacitors to the comprehensive engineering application of domestically produced filter capacitors after passing national-level appraisal, a series of "bottleneck" technologies have been overcome, and a multitude of achievements with both academic value and engineering significance have taken root. Since its establishment, the workstation has undertaken 5 provincial and ministerial-level scientific research projects and 2 municipal-level research topics, published 31 academic papers (including 6 indexed by SCI/EI), obtained 10 authorized invention patents and 22 utility model patents, and participated in the compilation of 25 national and industry standards. Numerous research outcomes have been directly transformed into new products, new processes, and industrial applications, realizing a "mutual pursuit" of personal growth and corporate development, and achieving "resonance at the same frequency" between academic innovation and industrial upgrading.
