KOC
Electric (CEO: Mr. Heesul, Hwang) is the first Korean SME to develop a
high-efficiency 154kV power transformer for Korea Electric Power
Corporation(KEPCO).
In 2020, KOC Electric successfully settled at the extra high voltage
transformer market by developing the first stage of KEPCO low loss 154kV
transformer (standard type, 1PH 20MVA) and supplying the product at major
substations. Recently, the company successfully registered the product of
high-efficiency 154kV transformer to KEPCO.
There are approximately 70 companies that manufacture distribution transformers
in Korea, but the extra high voltage transformer market was dominated by a
small number of conglomerates, due to entry barriers such as high technical
difficulties, strict quality control, and facility investment costs
After the launch of the KEPCO low-loss transformer in last year, KOC Electric
acquired the certificate of registration from the KHNP and 5 Korean power generation
companies.
The high-efficiency 154kV transformer, which has been recently developed by KOC Electric is a second-stage loss improvement transformer, developed jointly by KEPCO and transformer manufacturers as a part of the national energy reduction policy.
It is an eco-friendly product that maximizes energy efficiency by drastically
reducing 27% of transformer losses from 364kW to 264kW.
It will sequentially replace the low-loss transformers installed at nationwide
substations.
CEO of KOC Electric, Mr. Heesul, Hwang said,” We are delighted to prove the
maximum technological capacity which can be possessed by a SME.” “Based on the
reference of the public market, we will respond to the eco-friendly and
high-efficient electric demand at the private and foreign market.”
