Behind world-renowned Hyosung technology in fields as diverse as heavy electrical machinery and energy, there is the Power & Industrial Systems R&D Center. This organization has always moved in step with Korea in its journey towards technological development since the center’s establishment in 1978. Operated in a dual structure – with facilities in Anyang and Changwon – the Power & Industrial Systems R&D Center is fully committed to developing key technologies and quality products in the heavy electrical machinery, power and electronics, automation solutions and energy system fields.

The 345kV transformers for atomic power plants and 800kV gas insulated switchgear (2 breakers per pole) received the IR 52 Award and the Energy Grand Prize, while the 100MVA STATCOM won the Excellence Award at the Korea Technology Awards. Furthermore, the R&D Center has been committed to research centered on converging the automation of power systems and IT, with research in such areas as the IEC61850-based SA system and large-scale flexible AC transmission system (FACTS).

After developing the country’s first 80MVA UPFC, the center has also developed the 100MVA STATCOM with its unique technology, which is now being tested for commercial applications.

The Power & Industrial Systems R&D Center is also conducting research on solutions that can upgrade or improve the overall competitiveness of conventional heavy electrical machinery, in addition to finding ways to improve their quality by founding the Reliability Assessment Center. The center also continues to review and research in green businesses, such as smart-grids, motors for EV, solar PCS, wind PCS and fuel cells. Developing innovative technologies and new products, the Power & Industrial Systems R&D Center will add value for customers with its advanced technology and determination for research with the best global competence in every field.
