LS Electric is set to highlight its direct current (DC) technology, covering the entire power system from transmission to distribution, at the upcoming BIXPO 2026, the largest power and energy industry exhibition in South Korea. The event will take place from November 4 to 6 at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Gwangju.
Under the theme "Leading Intelligent Power Networks in the AI Era," LS Electric will showcase a 108-square-meter exhibition space featuring key solutions for next-generation power networks, including HVDC (high-voltage direct current), AI data center solutions, E-STATCOM (static synchronous compensator), and K-EMS (energy management system).
The company will focus on its HVDC solutions, which convert large-scale power generated at power plants into direct current for long-distance transmission. This technology is advantageous for long-distance and high-capacity power transmission compared to traditional alternating current (AC) systems, making it a critical component for expanding national power grids and integrating renewable energy sources.
As the only domestic company with experience in HVDC projects, LS Electric has built its expertise through the construction of HVDC conversion facilities for the North Dangjin to Goddeok project and participation in the East Coast to Metropolitan Area HVDC project.
Leveraging this unique experience, LS Electric plans to supply essential equipment, such as conversion transformers (C-TR), for large-scale national power grid projects, including the West Coast Energy Highway. This strategy aims to enhance the self-sufficiency of domestic HVDC technology and strengthen its position in the future power infrastructure market.
In the field of AI data center power infrastructure, LS Electric will showcase differentiated technology. The "AI Data Center Zone" will allow visitors to experience the evolution of power infrastructure, from traditional AC-based power supply systems to next-generation 800V DC distribution.
The "E-STATCOM Zone" will present next-generation power solutions that maintain voltage stability despite rapid load fluctuations.
In the "Smart Grid Zone," LS Electric will emphasize the competitiveness of domestic power system operation technology. The company will share its experience in localizing the large power system operation system K-EMS and plans to accelerate its entry into the global smart grid market, particularly in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
An LS Electric representative stated, "HVDC is a core technology for the future national power grid, responding to the expansion of renewable energy and the surge in power demand in the AI era. Based on our unique experience in current-type HVDC projects and accumulated technology, we will strengthen the competitiveness of domestic HVDC technology and play a key role in enhancing national power infrastructure, including the West Coast Energy Highway."
