LG Business Group has unveiled energy total solutions ranging from environment-friendly energy production to storage and efficient use at the 22nd World Energy Congress (WEC) Daegu 2013.
True to the theme, “Smart Energy: with LG, It’s All Possible,” the business group’s subsidiaries, including LG Electronics, LG Chem, LG U+, and LG CNS, presented as many as 30 energy-related products and technology at the LG Pavilion at WEC Daegu 2013 from Oct. 13-17.
Guided by LG Group Adviser Lee Hee-beom, LG Group is poised to accelerate efforts to explore its clientele base and businesses to find a way it can offer energy total solutions ranging from eco-friendly energy production to storage and efficient use.
Visitors to the 270 square-meter pavilion were given the opportunity to get a glimpse of the three themes — ‘smart generation,’ ‘smart consumption,’ and ‘smart control tower.’
At the smart generation zone, spectators took a look at energy production technologies such as solar photovoltaic power modules, geothermal heat, fuel cell, and other eco-friendly energies as well as solutions that transmit and distribute electricity being stored at energy storage systems to the proper place at the appropriate time.
LG Electronics disclosed advanced technologies, including “Mono X Neon,” a device for producing more electricity and consuming less electricity; “Building an Integrated photovoltaic System,” and other photovoltaic power modules.

The electronics unit of LG Group also showed off the Gas Heat Pump (GHP), a heating and cooling device with the world’s highest efficiency, absorber chillers, and geothermal-system air conditioners. LG Electronics has already supplied photovoltaic power modules for the 10.9 MW-type PV Phase II Project for the Yonggwang Nuclear Power Complex of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. and built the Super Gas Heat Pump at universities, hospitals, and public offices, including Kyungbook National University and the Catholic University of Korea. It is expanding its supply of turbo heat pumps for district heat recovery and large-scale apartment complexes through wastewater treatment at power plants in Korea and overseas.
LG Chem, the world’s ESS battery market leader, showed off ESSs for households for storing electricity during night time and using it during daylight time, and ESS's for power grids for transmitting and distributing electricity from PV power, wind power, and other renewable energies.
LG Chem mass-produced and supplied ESS batteries for households to California’s largest power company, SCE, in 2010; to IBC Solar of Germany in 2012; and the world’s largest PV converter maker, SMA of Germany, in 2013. The company is expected to deliver ESS batteries for power grids, equivalent to 2,000 electric vehicle batteries to SCE of the United States by the end of this year following its supplying of batteries to the world’s largest power engineering company, ABB, in 2011.
LG U+ exhibited the latest energy transfer and distribution systems such as a power conversion system to link solar photovoltaic power generation systems with the power grids, an ESS power conversion system, and a voltage management system (VMS).
The Smart Energy Zone offered solutions to enhance energy usage comfort and efficiency using ICT at homes, in buildings, and in cities. LG Electronics introduced a building management system (BMS) to reduce energy consumption by 30 percent through integrated management of buildings’ heating and cooling, lighting, and idle power; the ‘Green Smart Store Solution’ for reducing energy consumption within stores; and the Total Management System for remote control of system air-conditioners via smartphones.
