LS Electric Unveils Next-Generation Power Management Solutions at Energy Expo

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] LS Electric will showcase a large number of innovative next-generation power management technologies by participating in the largest smart power and energy exhibition in Korea.

LS Electric announced on the 6th that it will participate in the 'Korea Electric Industry Exhibition and Korea Smart Grid Expo 2021,' held for three days from the 7th to the 9th at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul.

LS Electric set up its exhibition with the concept of innovation in 'GD (Green Digital·Eco-friendly Digital)' technology in the largest exhibition space among participating companies, occupying 30 booths (270㎡), focusing on two themes: ▲Digital Solution (DT Solution) and ▲Eco Solution.

LS Electric prominently features its smart power equipment integrated management service, 'LS GridSol Care.' This service installs sensors on power equipment to monitor system status in real time and uses comparative analysis with existing quality big data to detect and respond to abnormal signs in advance, serving as an accident prevention diagnosis and management system.

LS GridSol Care combines LS Electric’s power system design know-how with digital technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) sensors and wireless communication, expanding the monitoring scope from only parts of distribution panels to the entire power system ranging from low voltage to high voltage.

Additionally, by providing cloud-based services, it offers optimized energy usage consulting through analysis of user energy consumption patterns, and allows users to check and maintain system status anytime and anywhere via mobile devices such as smartphones.

LS Electric will also unveil the world’s first eco-friendly 170kV 50kA class GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) applying the eco-friendly insulating gas g3 (a mixed gas of CO2, O2, and propenitrile). GIS is a key equipment applied in large substations and other power systems to enable stable power supply.

This new eco-friendly GIS drastically reduces carbon emissions compared to conventional GIS using SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) gas, lowering the Global Warming Potential (GWP) to about 2% of SF6 levels. Although SF6 gas has advantages such as excellent insulation strength, non-toxicity, and fire and flame resistance, it has a GWP 23,500 times higher than carbon dioxide, making it a major contributor to global warming.

Along with this, LS Electric plans to showcase next-generation ▲PCS (Power Conversion System) for ESS (Energy Storage System), ▲next-generation DC (Direct Current) power equipment, ▲electric vehicle charging solutions, ▲large-capacity flexible power transmission systems, and ▲smart E-House solutions.

Meanwhile, this event will be held as an online-offline hybrid exhibition through the virtual exhibition platform 'LS E-WORLD' for domestic and international customers who find it difficult to visit the site due to COVID-19.

An LS Electric official said, "We will unveil a large number of digital technology-based strategic solutions that can lead the global power energy market in the era of Green New Deal and digital transformation," adding, "This exhibition will be an opportunity to introduce to customers once again our overwhelming technological know-how at a global level, beyond being number one in Korea’s power and automation sectors."
