U.
S.
industrial giant General Electric (GE) has secured more than $100 million from KAPES to complete the second and final phase
of KEPCO's high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line.
The final phase will add 1.
5 GW of transmission capacity to the existing 33 km line to supply electricity from the Dangjin power plant to Godeok, one of the world's largest semiconductor factories, as well as the cities of Pyeongtaek and southern
Seoul.
It is reported that the energy consumption of the above regions accounts for 40%
of South Korea's total energy consumption.
By 2020, GE and KEPCO-GE joint venture KAPES will complete the first phase (1.
5 GW) of a bipolar HVDC transmission line that spans Andesman Bay
from Dangjin to Godeok.
With GE's HVDC technology, KEPCO, South Korea's largest utility, can avoid building 100 kilometers of overhead AC lines
.
In addition, the solution provides additional supply
to this high-growth region.
Compared to AC technology, HVDC transmission reduces transmission costs and losses, and has a smaller footprint, making it a more efficient and environmentally friendly way
to transmit electricity over long distances.
South Korea's energy demand has grown by 53% over the past decade and remains one of the world's largest energy consumers, and the construction of the HVDC line Dangjing-Godeok is critical
to developing South Korea's high-voltage transmission network to meet the country's growing energy needs.
The KAPES joint venture between GE and KEPCO is a long-term strategic partnership to jointly develop HVDC transmission projects and improve the capacity
of the Korean transmission grid based on GE technology.
To date, GE and KAPES have secured six grid-critical HVDC projects
in South Korea.
