He undertakes the development of Hualong-1 nuclear turbine unit and key equipment, the major scientific and technological special project of Heilongjiang Province for the "Hundred, Thousand and Ten Thousand Program", which currently has entered the construction design stage. What’s more, on the basis of Hainan Changjiang Small Reactor Nuclear Power Project, they newly won CGN Taipingling "Hualong-1" project and Sanmen Unit 5-6 project. In order to continue improving the competitiveness of 1000MW class nuclear power products, he led his team to successfully apply LP inner/outer casing isolation technology to the subsequent LP modules with 1800mm and 2000mm last blade. Combining the company's technical talent development channel and technical innovation system, he organized a team to establish a talent echelon system with senior professionals as the backbone, deputy senior professionals as the main body, and intermediate professionals as the reserve. The team consists of 8 members with senior professional titles, 22 members with deputy senior professional titles, and 10 members with other level professional titles, and has cultivated one "Female Craftsman" of Heilongjiang Province. In 2022, they obtained 10 authorized patents in the field of nuclear power, including 7 invention patents.

In 2018, the company established "Li Yufeng Model Worker Innovation Studio" named after Li Yufeng, a Harbin special-class model worker. At present, the studio has undertaken research task on "Development of LP Last Stage Long Blades for 1000MW Class Deep Peak-Shaving Unit", "Development of Series Medium and Long Blades of Air Turbine for Energy Storage ", "Development of New 1000mm Long Blades for Casing Cutting Operation", and "1036 Efficient Long Blades Suitable for Deep Peaking- Shaving Conditions", providing strong technical support for the company's sustainable development. The studio has a total of 26 members, including 2 members with doctor degree and 13 members with master degree. Since its establishment, the innovation studio has cultivated two senior engineers and recommended one member for postdoctoral, doctor , and master degrees respectively at Harbin Institute of Technology. In the past three years, the innovation team has won 5 scientific and technological awards in provincial and ministerial level and 8 scientific and technological awards in prefecture level (group corporation level); obtained 55 authorized patents, including 6 invention patents; published 37 papers; achieved 2 software copyrights; and published 5 enterprise standards.

The Energy Saving Technology Research Team is an engineering research and development team of new energy products and energy-saving equipment, responsible for the development of technology and product development in multiple fields such as compressed air energy storage, solar thermal power generation, molten salt heat storage, and energy-saving utilization. In recent years, guided by market demand, the team has successively completed the research and development tasks of multiple national first products, including the heat storage heat exchanger for the world's first non-supplementary combustion type compressed air energy storage project - for Jiangsu Jingjing Salt Cave 60MW compressed air energy storage power generation system national demonstration project heat storage heat exchanger, and the heat storage heat exchanger for world's largest capacity level compressed air energy storage power station - Hubei Yingcheng 300MW compressed air energy storage power station demonstration project. In addition, the team's research achievements in new industries such as steam generators in photothermal power plants and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plants have also achieved engineering application, providing strong technical support for the company's transformation and development. The team currently consists of 16 R&D persons, including 11 persons with graduates or above degrees and 8 senior engineers. In recent years, the team has undertaken dozens of various scientific research projects and applied for more than 60 related patents in new energy and energy-saving technologies, further consolidating the technical foundation for the company's new product development.
