There are 7 national open courses, 2 National Teaching teams, 1 national teaching teacher, 11 national characteristic specialties, 4 national strategic emerging industries related specialties, 3 National Experimental Teaching Demonstration centers, 3 National Engineering Practice Education centers, and 3 National virtual simulation experimental teaching. Xin, a national innovative experimental area of talent training mode.

The school actively participates in the construction of national innovation system and has made great achievements in new energy power generation, ultra-high voltage, smart grid, efficient and clean coal-fired power generation technology, nuclear power technology and other important fields. There are currently three national science and technology innovation platforms, one national international science and technology cooperation base, and six academic innovation bases in Colleges and universities. As well as 28 provincial and ministerial science and technology platforms and research bases, the school has been selected as the national innovative talents training demonstration base. Since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, it has undertaken more than 3300 vertical projects such as national key R&D plans, major national science and technology projects, "973", "863", "National Science and Technology Support Plan", and National Natural Science Foundation. It has won more than 400 national and provincial science and technology progress awards. With the rapid growth of scientific research funds, the three major international search rankings of scientific and technological papers rank first among the universities directly under the Ministry of Education.

Relying on the platform of University council, the university has continuously deepened the cooperation between industry, University and research institutes, reached strategic cooperation with more than 100 large energy and power enterprises at home and abroad, jointly undertook major R&D projects, accelerated the development and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and twice successively won the "State Grid Corporation UHV AC (DC) current test demonstration project special." "Contributing Unit". The school has constructed a multi-faceted cooperation platform between government, industry, University and research institutes, signed framework cooperation agreements with more than 20 local governments, deepened exchanges and cooperation around strategic emerging industries, and achieved remarkable results in promoting regional scientific and technological innovation and promoting local economic development.
