Abstract: Abstract As an important foundation of modern economy and society, every country attaches great importance to the construction of power infrastructure. A large number of power generation and transmission construction projects are planned to be built, which attracts outstanding designers and builders from all over the world to participate. As a competitive country in power industry, China actively participates in the construction of power projects in other countries. However, in the process of constructing international construction projects, due to the existence of transnational differences in systems and cultures, Chinese companies have encountered many difficulties. This article uses case study to compare and analyze the differences in UHV project management between China and Brazil. Through the comparison of various tasks in the project construction process, this paper finds that China and Brazil are quite different in environmental protection, permit application, supervision, language and culture, etc., which have significant impact on project management. When similar international projects are carried out in the future, Chinese companies can learn from this article for project management and improve project performance.
