Taihan Reaches New Industry Milestone
Taihan, a leading South Korean cable manufacturer, has completed development of itsย 500kV LCC (Line Commutated Converter) XLPE HVDC land cable system. The company also receivedย KEMA international certification, marking a major step in highโvoltage power transmission technology. For more details, visitย Taihan.
Highest Voltage Level Achieved
The 500kV cable represents theย highest voltage ever developedย for an LCC XLPE HVDC system. Taihan became theย first South Korean companyย and only theย second worldwideย to earn international certification at this level. The recognition highlights Taihanโs strength inย engineering innovationย and its readiness to take on largeโscale global projects.
Expanding Technical Capabilities
The KEMA certification process applied tougher criteria than typical international standards, proving the cableโsย stability and reliability. As a result, it can be used immediately in upcomingย HVDC projects in Korea. In addition, Taihan earned certification for itsย VSC (Voltage Source Converter) 500kV HVDC cable, broadening its capacity to supply bothย LCC and VSCย technologies. Combined with itsย MIโPPLP HVDC systemย developed in 2017, the company now covers the full range of highโvoltage transmission solutions.
Powering Global Energy Growth
Taihan Presidentย Na Hyeongโgyunย noted that this certification comes as international demand forย longโdistance transmissionย andย renewable energyย rises rapidly. He emphasized that Taihan plans to pursue new HVDC opportunities inย Europe, theย United States, andย Korea, supporting the expansion of clean energy infrastructure worldwide.
