Energy Solution Group

Fields of our research Energy New Business Energy Solution Group

Energy Solution Group provides automatic solution for energy system and has been developed energy system control, process simulator, large capacity power conversion technology for energy new business. We have developed control systems and applied them to more than 100 power plants including overseas power plants for the purpose of retrofitting. We are going to expand our development and application technology to renewable energy sector such as PV, smart PCS in the near future.

Energy Process Simulator Technology

We developed the web based remote training simulator for CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) power plant which enables trainees to use the simulator at once without place restrictions, and hybrid type simulator of coal-fired power plant for oversees business support.
And, we have developed process simulator, which can be used for operation training, control logic verification and engineering for stable operation of energy system and minimizing trial and error.

Energy System Control Technology

We are researching on the control technologies for renewable energy and distributed power sources based on a lot of experience of power plant control technology. We are to develop control technology for power stabilization of renewable energy sources such as on-grid photovoltaic and wind power.
We are also involved in development of Korean distributed control system for hydro power plant and improvement of CFBC control and gas turbine control.

Electric Machinery Control Technology

We retrofitted more than 100 generator control systems with products developed by KEPRI. Generator control system equipped with function block based high speed controllers was developed, applied to a combined cycle power plant recently.
The Research on starting device for gas turbine is on going and the 10MW prototype device is scheduled to be demonstrated in combined cycle power plant.
