Hyosung Heavy Industries, Germany's Siemens to Collaborate on Digital Power and Data Center Solutions

Global Strategic Partnership Agreement Signed
Cooperation from Integrated Diagnostics of Ultra-High- to Low-Voltage Equipment
to Digital Substations and AIDC

Hyosung Heavy Industries is joining forces with Germany's Siemens to gain an early lead in next-generation digital power grids and artificial intelligence data center (AIDC) solutions.

Hyosung Heavy Industries said on October 30 that it had signed a Global Strategic Partnership Agreement (GSPA) with Siemens to collaborate on digital power infrastructure and data center solutions.

Under the agreement, the two companies will pursue medium- to long-term cooperation in digital asset management technology, digital substation solutions, and integrated data center power solutions. The goal is to enhance their competitiveness in global markets by combining Hyosung Heavy Industries' power equipment and engineering capabilities with Siemens' technologies for digitizing power infrastructure and managing energy.

In digital power infrastructure, the companies will build an integrated diagnostic system that brings together equipment ranging from ultra-high-voltage to medium- and low-voltage systems, helping prevent power equipment failures and improve operational efficiency. To this end, they will integrate Hyosung Heavy Industries' ARMOUR+, which uses AI to predict signs of anomalies and estimate the service life of large power facilities such as substations, with Siemens' Electrification X, which uses the cloud to control power flows across medium- and low-voltage distribution networks in factories and buildings.

The companies will also collaborate on digital substations. Digital substations can significantly reduce the space required for equipment and increase the level of unmanned and automated operations, making them a rapidly growing area of adoption, particularly in European and Middle Eastern markets. The two companies plan to connect Hyosung Heavy Industries' power measurement sensors with Siemens' digital signal conversion devices to meet customers' diverse specifications.

They will also collaborate on technologies to improve data center operational efficiency. The companies plan to work together on AI data center solutions that combine Hyosung Heavy Industries' next-generation power conversion equipment, the solid-state transformer (SST), with Siemens' energy management system (EMS).

Woo Taehee, CEO of Hyosung Heavy Industries, said, "By combining our core technologies, we will move beyond supplying power equipment and become a global total solutions partner spanning digital power grids and the full scope of AI data center operations."

Jung Hajung, CEO of Siemens Korea, said, "By combining Hyosung Heavy Industries' power infrastructure capabilities with Siemens' digital technologies, we will enhance customer value in digital power infrastructure and data centers and create new growth opportunities together."

The signing ceremony also drew attention with the attendance of Kim Jeongkwan, Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy, and Stefan Rouenhoff, Parliamentary State Secretary at Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
