The school's science and technology journals include "Journal of North China Electric Power University", "Electric Power Science and Engineering", "Journal of North China Electric Power University - Social Science Edition", "Modern Electric Power", "Electric Power Higher Education", "Electric Power Archives", "China Electric Power Education" "wait. Relying on scientific research, it has formed a number of holding and participating high-tech industries, cooperated with a number of large enterprises and listed companies, and established a research base for industry-university-research cooperation. North China Electric Power University Science and Technology Park is recognized by Beijing as a Beijing Municipal University Science and Technology Park.
The school actively carries out international exchanges and cooperation, and strives to explore effective ways to cooperate with internationally renowned universities to carry out postgraduate education and high-level training. It has successively cooperated with universities in Europe, the United States, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Russia and Hong Kong.
