Partnership on digital power infrastructure
Hyosung Heavy Industries is partnering with Germany's Siemens in digital power infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
Hyosung Heavy Industries signed a global strategic partnership agreement with Siemens on October 30 at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas to cooperate on digital power infrastructure and data center solutions.
Through the agreement, the companies will pursue medium- to long-term cooperation in digital asset management technology, digital substation solutions and integrated power solutions for data centers.
The aim is to strengthen their competitiveness in global markets by combining Hyosung Heavy Industries' power equipment and engineering capabilities with Siemens' power infrastructure digitalization and energy management technologies.
In digital power infrastructure, they will first establish an integrated diagnostic system covering equipment from extra-high voltage to medium and low voltage to prevent power equipment failures and improve operating efficiency.
To do so, they will link Hyosung Heavy Industries' ARMOUR Plus, which uses AI to predict abnormalities and the service life of large power installations such as substations, with Siemens' Electrification X, which uses the cloud to control power flows in medium- and low-voltage distribution networks at facilities such as factories and buildings.
Digital substations and AI data center solutions
They will also pursue technological cooperation on digital substations. The transition to digital substations is progressing rapidly, particularly in Europe and the Middle East, because they can substantially reduce equipment space and increase unmanned operation and automation.
The companies plan to connect Hyosung Heavy Industries' electrical measurement sensors with Siemens' digital signal conversion devices to address customers' diverse specification requirements.
The companies also plan to cooperate on AI data center solutions that combine Hyosung Heavy Industries' next-generation power conversion equipment, solid-state transformers, with Siemens' energy management system.
Hyosung Heavy Industries CEO Woo Tae-hee said, "By combining the core technologies of both companies, we will move beyond supplying power equipment to become a global provider of comprehensive solutions covering digital power grids and the full scope of AI data center operations."
Siemens Korea CEO Jung Ha-joong said, "We will enhance customer value in digital power infrastructure and data centers and create new growth opportunities together."
