LS Cable & System participates in the Hamburg Wind Power Exhibition in Germany… 500㎸ HVDC cable technology introduced

LS Cable & System announced on the 23rd that it will participate in 'Wind Energy Hamburg 2026', the world's largest wind energy exhibition held in Hamburg, Germany until the 25th.

At this exhibition, LS Cable & System will present an offshore wind power grid solution that connects wind turbines to the onshore power grid.

In particular, we introduce the 500 kilovolt (kV) class HVDC (ultra-high voltage direct current transmission) cable technology that has been commercialized only in the domestic power industry. The 525 kV·80 degree (℃) class HVDC submarine cable increases transmission capacity by up to 25% compared to the existing 70 degree class, and can respond to the large-capacity transmission of offshore wind power that is becoming larger and longer distanced.

Eco-friendly materials in response to Europe's carbon reduction demands will also be introduced. We plan to reduce carbon emissions from the raw material stage by applying recycled copper and low-carbon/recycled aluminum, and respond to the demands for eco-friendly procurement for European offshore wind power projects.

An LS Cable & System official said, “Europe is a key market for LS Cable, including securing the largest supply contract in the Tenet project, the largest HVDC project in Europe,” and added, “We will expand our business based on HVDC technology and submarine construction capabilities.”
