[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) announced on the 16th that it will launch the 'PowerCheck Mobile Service,' an application that provides electrical quality and safety information necessary for operating large power facilities via a mobile app.

This service helps electrical safety managers who oversee large power facilities such as buildings, factories, and commercial complexes conveniently monitor electrical quality remotely.

According to KEPCO, approximately 300 high-voltage power outages occur nationwide every year during summer or winter due to overloads in heating and cooling systems in apartment complexes.

However, electrical safety managers often manage multiple buildings simultaneously, and since peak power demand usually occurs at night after working hours, it has been difficult to prevent accidents and take initial measures promptly.

The newly developed PowerCheck Mobile Service analyzes power big data from the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to provide a multi-facility management function that allows safety managers to monitor several power facilities simultaneously.

It also features an early warning notification function to prevent power outages when overloads are anticipated, and provides a monthly electrical quality analysis report that can be used for the operation and maintenance of power facilities.

This service is expected to be especially helpful for electrical safety managers who face difficulties in on-site visits and equipment inspections due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Electrical safety managers who wish to use the service can download the app from the Google Play Store starting today and use it free of charge until the end of the year. When registering, users must attach a certificate of appointment as an electrical safety manager for the relevant power facility in accordance with related laws and regulations.
