Korea Electric Power to develop core HVDC technologies
KEP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO), South Korea's state power company, said Monday it will join forces with three local companies to develop core technologies for a high-end electric power transmission system.
The system, called a high-voltage direct current (HVDC), is less expensive and loses less power when distributing energy over long distances.
Later in the day, KEPCO will sign a preliminary deal for the project with two electric cable makers -- Taihan Electric Wire Co. and LS Cable Ltd. -- and LS Industrial System Co, a leading manufacturer of transformers.
KEPCO predicts that the global HVDC market will increase to 23 trillion won (US$19.8 billion) in 2019.
