When I first started working at the hydropower plant, I faced both professional and language challenges. My major is electrical engineering, and most of my previous studies were in English. However, the control systems, equipment names, operating procedures, and technical documents at the plant were mostly in Chinese. As a hydropower plant operator, I need to communicate with the National Control Center (NCC), adjust unit load, monitor important SCADA parameters, and respond to alarms in a timely manner to ensure the safe and stable operation of the plant.
To improve myself, I learned while working. I practiced drawing system diagrams, identified equipment at the site, recorded technical terms, and communicated with my Chinese colleagues. The Chinese and English training courses and technical training provided by the company also helped me greatly improve my professional knowledge and language skills.
Through working and living with my Chinese colleagues, I have also gained a better understanding of Chinese culture and developed closer friendships and mutual understanding. Looking back, I have grown from a new employee who could not understand Chinese and was unfamiliar with the equipment into an operator who can understand technical terms, identify equipment, and respond to SCADA alarms. I am grateful to the company and my colleagues for their guidance and support.

Simultaneously, it has taken multiple measures to create a leading example of green and environmentally friendly power.
