Daehan Electric Wire is accelerating its technological and quality competitiveness in the submarine cable sector through collaboration with specialized research institutions.
On July 10, Daehan Electric Wire announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Myongji University's Hybrid Structural Testing Center for structural performance verification of submarine cables.
The signing ceremony was attended by key officials from both sides, including Kim Hyun-joo, Executive Vice President of Production and Technology at Daehan Electric Wire, Hong Dong-seok, Director of the Technology Research Institute, and Kwon Seung-hee, Director of Myongji University, along with Han Jong-wook, Head of the Center.
This agreement aims to enhance the verification system for the structural performance of submarine cables and establish a foundation for collaborative research on related technologies. The two parties plan to jointly conduct structural performance tests and evaluations for industrial products, including power and communication cables, and expand their technical cooperation.
Myongji University's Hybrid Structural Testing Center is a specialized research institution that conducts performance evaluations of structures and products using advanced measurement systems and large-scale equipment to simulate real-world environments.
Submarine cables must operate for extended periods in extreme underwater conditions, making thorough environmental simulation verification and reliability essential. With this agreement, Daehan Electric Wire has established a foundation to swiftly handle the development, performance evaluation, and certification of 'dynamic cables' to meet the demands of the floating offshore wind market domestically.
The company is also focusing on expanding its production bases and securing independent construction capabilities. Daehan Electric Wire is currently constructing its second submarine cable factory in Dangjin, South Chungcheong Province, and has secured a dedicated laying vessel, the 'Scandi Connector,' capable of handling 11,000 tons of submarine cable, as part of its comprehensive investment in production, construction, and verification infrastructure to expand its submarine and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) business.
A representative from Daehan Electric Wire stated, "Quality verification capabilities are a core competitive advantage in the global submarine cable market," adding, "We will continue to expand our research and development and testing infrastructure investments to ensure product reliability that meets global standards and elevate our capabilities in submarine and HVDC businesses."
