SLS participates in ‘BIXPO 2018’

Siemens Ltd. Seoul(SLS) participated in ‘The Fourth Bitgaram International Exposition of Electric Power Technology’ (BIXPO), held at Kimdaejung Convention Center, Gwangju, from October 31 to November 2.

At the exhibition, SLS exhibited excellent products and solutions in the Energy Management and the Power Generation divisions that respond to the digitalization trend at the exhibition. The major exhibits included 170kV eco-friendly vacuum interrupter(VI), cloud-based open IoT operating system MindSphere, IoT-based smart substation and asset management system, easy, reliable and cost-efficient power monitoring system, eco-friendly Vacuum Generator Circuit Breaker Panel, Ruggedcom solution for uninterrupted smart grid networks, latest next-generation HL-class gas turbine SGT-9000HL and digital solutions for power plant efficiency improvement.

The world’s first 170kV eco-friendly VI, which was showcased during the exhibition, is a core component of eco-friendly gas insulated switchgears (GIS). Product development and test analysis of the VI have already been completed - coming to fruition in just two months after Siemens joined hands with Iljin Electric for the development of the 170kV eco-friendly GIS in June. Furthermore, this year’s exhibition marked the first time that SLS has presented PRP (Parallel redundancy protocol) and HSR (High availability seamless redundancy) to the domestic electric power industry.

“SLS aims to offer new business opportunities that will lead the digitalization of the electric power industry with its innovative and eco-friendly technical skills and integrity,” said Mr. HaJoong Chung, Vice President of Energy Management Division at SLS. “With SLS, industries will be able to see the latest trends in innovative technologies as well as the direction for convergence.” Mr. BumJun Suk, Vice President of Power and Gas Division at SLS said, “"We are confident that the next-generation HL-class gas turbine will maximize generating efficiency and profitability. With efficient energy and digital development solutions, SLS will continue its efforts to drive mutual growth and mutual exchange with domestic businesses that have outstanding industrial infrastructures.”
