Localization of Ultra-High Voltage Direct Current and Voltage Source Technology
Localization of Ultra-High Voltage Direct Current and Voltage Source Technology
On July 9, Lee Ho-hyun, Director-General
for Energy Policy at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, attended the
completion ceremony for the 200MW Voltage Source HVDC at Yangju Substation and
awarded commendations to those involved in its localization and technological
demonstration.
Voltage Source HVDC enables real-time
bidirectional current transmission, unlike traditional HVDC. Its advantages in
long-distance, submarine transmission, and renewable energy integration are
driving global demand.
The recently completed Yangju HVDC is a
successful example of Voltage Source HVDC localization, involving 20
industry-academic-research institutions, including KEPCO, Hyosung, and the
Electrical Research Institute, since 2013. With this achievement, South Korea
has become the fifth country in the world to develop Voltage Source HVDC
technology.
The HVDC facility at Yangju Substation is
expected to enhance grid stability and increase power generation efficiency in
northern Gyeonggi Province. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy plans to
develop GW-class high-capacity HVDC technology and promote the export of
advanced high-voltage electrical equipment to meet global demand.
