The Memorandum of Understanding on Technical Exchange and Cooperation signed between the National Energy Development Institute of South Africa and the China Energy Engineering and Power Planning Institute marks a new chapter in cooperation between the two countries in the field of energy, with far-reaching impacts beyond technical exchanges and integration. The establishment of this cooperation framework is based on a profound understanding and shared vision of the global energy transition trend, aiming to jointly address the challenges of global climate change and promote green and low-carbon development through close cooperation.

In terms of renewable energy grid connection, both sides will work together to explore more efficient and stable grid connection technologies, solve the technical difficulties brought by large-scale integration of renewable energy into the grid, improve the flexibility and adaptability of the grid, and lay a solid foundation for the development of clean energy in South Africa and even the African continent. This not only helps South Africa optimize and upgrade its energy structure, reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, but also provides more reliable and clean electricity supply for local residents, improving their quality of life.

Power system planning is a key link in energy transformation. Both parties will jointly conduct research on power system planning based on their respective professional advantages, optimize resource allocation, and improve energy utilization efficiency. By introducing advanced planning concepts and technological means, both parties will strive to build a more intelligent, efficient, and green power system, providing strong support for South Africa's low-carbon transformation.

The research and application of new energy storage technologies is one of the important directions for energy transformation. Both sides will strengthen cooperation in the field of energy storage technology, jointly explore efficient and economical energy storage solutions, solve the problems of intermittency and volatility of renewable energy, and improve the stability and safety of the power system. This will help South Africa better utilize renewable energy resources and drive revolutionary changes in energy production and consumption patterns. Keywords: the Belt and Road news, the Belt and Road project, overseas project.

As an important development trend of power system in the future, grid building technology is of great significance for the realization of energy Internet and smart grid. Both parties will jointly study the theory and application of grid construction technology, promote innovation and development of related technologies, and contribute to the intelligent upgrading of the power system in South Africa and even globally.
