LS ELECTRIC highlighted its DC technologies spanning the entire power system, from transmission to distribution, at South Korea's largest power and energy industry exhibition. Under the theme 'Intelligent Grid, Powering the AI Era,' LS ELECTRIC established a 108-square-meter exhibition space comprising 12 booths and unveiled a range of core solutions for next-generation grids, including HVDC, AI data center solutions, E-STATCOM, a static synchronous compensator, and K-EMS, an energy management system. At the exhibition, LS ELECTRIC is focusing on HVDC solutions, considered a core technology for next-generation grids. HVDC converts large amounts of electricity generated at power plants into direct current for long-distance transmission. Its advantages over conventional AC transmission for moving large amounts of power over long distances have drawn attention to its role in expanding the national grid and integrating renewable energy. LS ELECTRIC is the only South Korean company with experience executing HVDC projects. It has accumulated core technological capabilities and project delivery expertise through the construction of HVDC conversion facilities between Bukdangjin and Godeok and participation in the East Coast to Seoul metropolitan area HVDC project. Building on this distinctive project experience, LS ELECTRIC's strategy is to pursue supplies of core equipment, including converter transformers, or C-TRs, for major national grid projects such as the West Coast Energy Highway. It plans to increase South Korea's self-reliance in HVDC technology and further strengthen its position in the future power infrastructure market. The company is also showcasing differentiated technology for AI data center power infrastructure. Its AI Data Center Zone offers visitors a hands-on experience of the evolution of power infrastructure, from existing AC-based supply systems to next-generation 800 V DC distribution. The E-STATCOM Zone brings together grid stabilization technologies and presents next-generation power solutions that maintain stable voltage even during rapid load fluctuations. The Smart Grid Zone highlights the competitiveness of domestically developed power system operation technology. LS ELECTRIC is presenting its experience in developing the large-scale power system operation platform K-EMS domestically and the reliability of that technology. It plans to accelerate its entry into global smart grid markets, including Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
