The genial old man was hale and hearty, and his generosity and wisdom could be felt in the conversation. “As long as young people do things really, one by one, they will have confidence,” he said. Delta is like this, from his hands step by step to grow.

Delta Group started with Delta Electronics, founded by Zheng Chonghua in 1971, began mass production of switching power supplies in 1983, and reached the first place in the global market share of switching power supplies in 2002. With his vision and drive, Delta actively deploys a variety of solutions based on new energy, automation and microgrid applications. Zheng Chonghua believes that green and low-carbon is the future development direction of the global industry, and Delta will continue to make more contributions to the protection of the earth’s environment through continuous innovation. At the 9th China Power Supply Society Science and Technology Award ceremony held on November 11, Zheng Chonghua won the “Outstanding Contribution Award”.
Professor Ruan Xinbo, vice chairman of the China Power Supply Society, said that Zheng Chonghua led Delta to achieve breakthrough results in a number of power supply product fields, and promoted the progress and innovation of power electronics and power supply technology. At the same time, in order to promote the development and personnel training of China’s power electronics and power transmission disciplines, Zheng Chonghua established Delta Power Electronics Science and Education Development Program and Zhongda Scholars Program, which greatly promoted the development of power electronics and related disciplines in Chinese universities.
Many scholars and guests of China Power Supply Society jointly celebrated Zheng Chonghua’s award.
Innovation is the enterprise development path that Zheng Chonghua always pays attention to. Delta is able to continuously develop competitive new products, thanks to the importance of scientific research strength. Delta has 73 research and development centers and laboratories around the world, more than 10,000 research and development engineers, and invests more than 8% of total revenue in innovation research and development each year. Delta’s R&D centers in Shanghai and Wujiang have postdoctoral workstations, and 15 laboratories in Shanghai, Dongguan in Guangdong Province and Wujiang in Jiangsu Province are accredited by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS).
Delta’s innovation and creation has also been recognized by the China Power Supply Society, and the 1.5kW high-power field light LED driver has won the “Excellent Product Innovation Award”. It is understood that the energy conversion efficiency of the product can reach 96%, under the condition of natural air convection to meet the full load of -40 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius ambient operating temperature range, in the same power operating state, the volume of only about 65% of the industry’s similar products. This is not the first time Delta has won awards at the conference, and many of its research and development achievements have been recognized by the China Power Supply Society since 2017.
Looking to the long-term future, Cheng Chonghua hopes that Delta will adhere to the concept of sustainable development and focus on green innovation, he said: “I believe that visionary companies will definitely make use of the advantages of environmental protection and energy saving to create value for their own companies and products, and will continue to grow and innovate through such characteristics.”
Accelerating the construction of new power systems with new energy as the main body has become the focus of power electronics and power system-related industry, university and research circles. Delta has always taken power electronics as its core technology, continued to invest in product innovation and research and development, improve energy conversion efficiency, promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, integrate renewable energy, energy storage, electric vehicle charging energy infrastructure solutions, and build distributed smart grid and energy storage solutions in various places to enhance power grid toughness with technology.
Not only that, in Delta’s corporate planning and development path, it is not difficult to see its deep practice of the concept of sustainable development. It is reported that Delta joined the global Renewable Electricity Initiative RE100 in 2021, committing all of Delta’s global sites to achieve the overall goal of 100% renewable electricity and carbon neutrality by 2030, and further set a long-term strategy and goal of achieving Net Zero emissions (Net Zero) by 2050 in 2022.
Delta is also actively arranging energy conservation and carbon reduction work in the three dimensions of products, production outlets and green buildings. It is worth noting that according to the “T/ CECA-G 0171-2022 Zero carbon Plant Evaluation Code” issued by the China Energy Conservation Association, Delta Group’s Wujiang No. 5 plant fully meets the evaluation requirements, obtained the zero carbon plant five-star certification and PAS2060 carbon neutral certification, the plant uses 100% renewable electricity, and carries out 100% carbon offset. In the independent emission reduction performance indicators, energy and carbon intelligent information management system, product ecological design, renewable energy use and other 12 full marks.
In the future, Zheng hopes Delta will become a leader in the field of power regulation and microgrids. In this regard, Delta provides energy storage system characteristic solutions for renewable energy power plants, traditional power plants, transmission and distribution systems, commercial buildings, factories, electric vehicle charging stations and microgrids, etc., to reduce the impact on the grid when renewable energy is connected to the grid or when a large number of charging stations discharge, and also reduce the pressure on the grid when unexpected events occur.
Zheng Chonghua takes “environmental protection, energy saving and love the earth” as Delta’s business mission, and is committed to providing people with energy-efficient products and solutions.
Founded more than half a century, from a small factory to a power giant, Delta has been moving fast, always on the way to the difficult and far. Zheng Chonghua encouraged young people with his personal experience: “To adhere to innovation, the courage to challenge, always have the spirit of” altruism “.” He believes that the spirit of “altruism” can bring about a cycle of good, which can not only become the fighting force of enterprises, but also bring positive impact to the entire industry and the earth’s environment.
