Hyosung Heavy Industries is presenting solutions for the future power grid at CIGRE 2026.
The company announced on August 25 that it is participating in the CIGRE (International Council on Large Electric Systems) Paris Session 2026, taking place from August 24 to 28 in Paris, France.
The CIGRE Paris Session is the largest academic conference and exhibition in the world, gathering over 10,000 power industry experts and top global companies from more than 100 countries to discuss technological standards and future visions for the power industry.
At CIGRE 2026, Hyosung Heavy Industries will showcase a total solution encompassing next-generation power technologies, from long-distance, high-capacity transmission (HVDC) to direct current distribution for data centers (SST). Notably, the company will debut its proprietary spring-type gas-insulated switchgear, the 420kV SF₆-Free GIS. A representative from Hyosung stated, "We aim to establish our carbon reduction technology in the European market, which emphasizes carbon neutrality."
Hyosung will also present several other innovations, including a voltage-type ultra-high voltage direct current transmission system developed with proprietary technology, the SST (semiconductor transformer) power solution, the eco-friendly insulated transformer using biodegradable insulating oil, and the AI-based asset management platform ARMOUR+.
On August 26, the company will host a technology forum called the 'Future Grid Insight Forum' for key global customers. This marks the third iteration of the event, which began in 2022. This year's forum will focus on the theme 'Changes and Challenges in the Power Grid: Expansion, Sustainability, Resilience,' featuring panels with power industry experts from the U.S., Europe, and Australia discussing responses to surging power demand and future operational strategies for power grids.
On August 25, Hyosung will hold a gala dinner, inviting key global customers from 35 companies across 18 countries. The event aims to foster discussions on changes in the global power market and strengthen partnerships with client companies.
Meanwhile, Hyosung Heavy Industries is also working on global expansion, recently announcing its participation in a hydropower project in Brazil.
