Hyosung Heavy Industries and Taihan Cable Establish Integrated Monitoring System for Power Equipment and Cables

Diagnostics for Transformers, Circuit Breakers, and Cables on a Single Screen
Greater Consistency in Replacement Decisions... Preventing Failures in Advance
Rising Demand for Asset Management... Data Center Market on the Rise

Hyosung Heavy Industries and Taihan Cable have completed the development of an integrated solution for cable predictive diagnostics and asset management, which combines diagnostics for key power equipment and cables within substations into a single platform.

The two companies announced on December 1 at a development completion briefing held at the Taihan Cable headquarters in Seocho-gu, Seoul, that they would begin applying the solution to their business operations. The core of this new solution is the integration of both companies' technologies into one platform.

Hyosung Heavy Industries' "ARMOUR+" is a system that uses AI to analyze the condition of ultra-high-voltage power equipment such as transformers and circuit breakers. Taihan Cable's "PDCMS" is a technology that detects subtle abnormal signals (partial discharge) occurring inside cables in real time to assess their remaining lifespan. Until now, these two areas have been managed through separate systems, but they have now been integrated into a single interface.

Traditionally, power companies' equipment diagnostic systems are divided by "equipment unit." Because inspection systems differ for transformers, circuit breakers, and cables, it has been difficult to assess the overall status of a substation simultaneously. This integrated solution brings all substation equipment into a unified diagnostic system, enabling more consistent decisions regarding replacement and maintenance.

Industry experts note that as aging transmission and distribution equipment increases and the expansion of distributed energy sources such as solar and wind power makes power grids more complex, systems for identifying risks in advance are becoming increasingly important. The rapid increase in transmission and distribution equipment loads due to the expansion of data centers is also driving demand for integrated monitoring.

Hyosung Heavy Industries plans to use this integrated system not only for existing power equipment customers but also to expand its application to engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms, data centers, and renewable energy operators. The market itself is also growing. According to global market research firm Fortune Business Insights, the global power asset management market is expected to grow from approximately 6.3 trillion won in 2022 to 9.1 trillion won by 2029.
