, “(Sejong=News1) Reporter Na Hye-yoon = The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy awarded an industrial ministerial award to employees of related organizations who participated in the development and technological verification of ‘Voltage-Type HVDC localization’ at the 200㎿ (megawatt) Voltage-Type HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) completion ceremony held at the Yangju Substation on the 9th.”,
,
, ‘Voltage-Type HVDC has the characteristic of real-time bidirectional current transmission, unlike the existing current-type HVDC. HVDC has advantages such as long-distance transmission, submarine transmission, and integration with renewable energy, leading to increasing global demand.’,
,
, ‘The Yangju HVDC completed this time is a successful case of Voltage-Type HVDC localization through a national project since 2013, with the participation of 20 organizations including KEPCO, Hyosung, and the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute. With the success of this HVDC, Korea has become the 5th country in the world to succeed in Voltage-Type HVDC technology development.’,
,
, ‘It is expected that the HVDC equipment installed at the Yangju Substation will contribute to ensuring the stability of the power system in the northern Gyeonggi region and increasing power generation efficiency.’,
,
, ‘Meanwhile, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy plans to actively promote the development of Gigawatt-class Voltage-Type HVDC large-capacity technology based on this successful case of technology development, and actively engage in the export industrialization of new (high-voltage high-power electrical equipment) to respond to global demand.’,
,
, ‘Energy Policy Director Lee Ho-hyun, who attended the completion ceremony, emphasized, “As large-scale projects involving offshore wind power are planned in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere, Korea will actively promote technological advancement and localization of Gigawatt-class technology starting from this success, contributing to the promotion of domestic industry and export industrialization.”.’
