[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] LS Electric announced on the 31st that it unveiled smart energy solutions applying information and communication technology (ICT) to global-level power and automation industries at the world's largest industrial exhibition, 'Hannover Messe 2022.'

LS Electric is participating in 'Hannover Messe 2022,' held in Hanover, Germany, from the 30th of last month (local time) to the 2nd of next month for four days, showcasing its smart power and automation integrated solution capabilities centered on direct current (DC) technology expertise.

At its exhibition space of 17 booths (145㎡), LS Electric organized the content around three themes: ▲carbon-neutral solutions ▲digital transformation (DX) ▲smart factory solutions, allowing global customers to directly experience its solutions.

LS Electric prominently displayed the 170kV-class gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) applying eco-friendly g3 gas, developed as the first domestic company, and unveiled numerous strategic products tailored to the global carbon-neutral market. The eco-friendly gas-insulated switchgear applying g3 gas replaces the insulating gas from the conventional SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) gas with the eco-friendly g3 gas, drastically reducing the global warming potential (GWP) by more than 90%.

Next-generation smart power solutions such as ▲DC 1500V molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) ▲DC 1000V, 1500V-class relays ▲AC 1150V air circuit breaker (ACB) were also unveiled. In particular, DC-exclusive solutions like the DC 1500V molded case circuit breaker attracted attention from local customers as products responding to the global large-capacity power equipment market, which is on the rise due to the expansion of the renewable energy industry.

LS Electric also introduced the next-generation ESS platform MSSP to target the global industrial ESS (energy storage system) market. It features modularization of the power conversion core component PEBB in 200kW units, enabling smart independent operation.

LS Electric plans to intensify its targeting of the North American and European markets, where ESS demand is rapidly increasing from small to medium and large scales, by leading with next-generation ESS strategic products.

An LS Electric official said, "We showcased digital-based eco-friendly strategic products at Hannover Messe, held for the first time in three years since 2019 due to the global spread of COVID-19, firmly imprinting our world-class competitiveness," adding, "With carbon neutrality and eco-friendly management being emphasized, we will leverage our overwhelming smart energy competitiveness to overcome carbon-neutral trade barriers and secure a leading position in the global market."
