LS Electric said on the 2nd that it will take part in both "Electrix Korea 2026" and "Korea Smart Grid Expo 2026," to be held at COEX in Seoul for three days starting on the 4th, to unveil its full lineup for high-voltage direct current (HVDC·High Voltage Direct Current).
At this exhibition, LS Electric will put forward key HVDC solutions such as HVDC converter transformers (C-TR), static reactive power compensation devices (SVC/STATCOM), and valves. LS Electric has won contracts to build converter facilities for large-scale domestic HVDC projects such as "Bukdangjin–Godeok" and "East Coast–Seoul metropolitan area," bringing its HVDC order value to more than 1 trillion won.
HVDC is a method of transmitting electricity by converting alternating current (AC) power produced at power plants into direct current (DC). It is a core technology of the U-shaped national power grid project connecting three sides of the Korean Peninsula, including the West Coast energy expressway promoted by the government.
The strategy product for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, "Beyond X MDB," will also be unveiled for the first time. "Beyond X MDB" is an ultra-slim modular switchboard developed by LS Electric that improves installation space efficiency by more than 30% compared with existing products.
An LS Electric official said, "By emphasizing global-level HVDC technology and extensive project capabilities through this exhibition, we will once again confirm that we are the right fit to carry out the West Coast energy expressway project," adding, "As one of Korea's leading power corporations, we will present innovative solutions that will lead the next-generation power industry and introduce the future of the global power infrastructure market."
It will also showcase Smart Factory solutions, including the world's first Cheonan "DC Factory" based on a direct current distribution system and the digital inverter ordering platform "Standard Panel Drive."
