The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced that it will hold the 'Domestication of Voltage-Type Ultra-High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission Technology Development Achievement Presentation' on November 10.
HVDC transmission utilizes the ultra-high-voltage direct current method, offering advantages such as long-distance, high-capacity transmission, power flow control, and the absence of electromagnetic waves compared to traditional alternating current transmission.
South Korea accelerates domestication of advanced Voltage Source Converter-based Ultra-High-Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) technology, known for real-time bidirectional power flow control and grid stability advantages.
Korea plans to achieve domestication of VSC-HVDC technology by March 2024 after conducting performance evaluations on the actual grid through the Yangju Converter Station testbed.
