LS Electric participates in Germany's 'Hannover Messe 2023'... Showcases numerous smart energy solutions

Largest Domestic Company Exhibition Hall Established
Introducing SST, DC Power Package, ESS, and Smart Factory

LS Electric will unveil a wide range of smart energy solutions at the world's largest industrial technology exhibition, 'Hannover Messe 2023.'

LS Electric announced on the 17th that it will showcase its capabilities in smart power and automation integrated solutions under the main concept of 'Opening a Sustainable Future with Digital Energy Technology' at Hannover Messe 2023, held in Hannover, Germany, until the 21st (local time). The company designed its exhibition space, Booth 21 (189㎡), around two themes: smart energy management and digital manufacturing innovation, allowing overseas customers to directly experience its solutions.

In particular, this exhibition prominently features DC-based distribution solutions such as SST (Semiconductor Transformer) and SSCB (Semiconductor Circuit Breaker). LS Electric's SST enables voltage transformation and simultaneous DC-AC conversion through power semiconductors, eliminating the need for separate power conversion devices. This can reduce charging station area by up to 40% and cut the weight of power equipment by more than half. Additionally, applying SST allows analysis of ESS charge/discharge and charger power usage data, enabling actual users to measure and collect power usage data such as power consumption forecasts. This makes it possible to apply time-of-use tariffs and control charging amounts, which is expected to enhance the efficiency and stability of the power energy market.

LS Electric also unveiled the next-generation ESS platform MSSP to target the global industrial ESS (Energy Storage System) market. The platform features modularization of the core power conversion component PEBB (Power Electronics Building Block) in 200kW units, enabling smart independent operation. The company also exhibited the 170kV-class gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) applying eco-friendly g3 gas, developed as the first domestic company. The eco-friendly gas-insulated switchgear using g3 gas replaces the insulating gas SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) with the environmentally friendly g3 gas, reducing the Global Warming Potential (GWP) by more than 90%.

At this exhibition, LS Electric launched its future-oriented factory automation solution brand 'Solution Square' and introduced new global strategic products. It showcased the new low-voltage (LV) inverter (drive) product 'S300,' essential for energy optimization in industrial sites, as well as digitalized automation products and services covering devices, systems, and applications, including its Cheongju Smart Factory 'Digital Twin,' which was selected as a World Lighthouse Factory in 2021.

An LS Electric official said, "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."
