During the CIGRE 2026 session in Paris, various industrial companies presented advanced power and energy technologies aimed at modernizing electricity grids and supporting carbon neutrality.

Hyosung Heavy Industries introduced a range of solutions including High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission, Solid State Transformers (SST) for data centers, and eco-friendly transformers using biodegradable insulating oil. A notable debut included their 420kV SF6-Free Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS). The company also promoted its ARMOUR+ AI-based asset management platform and hosted the third Future Grid Insight Forum.

Similarly, CHINT showcased technologies designed for renewable energy integration and the electricity demands of digital infrastructure. Their presentation included 1,000 kV and 750 kV oil-immersed power transformers, alongside SF6-free medium- and high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) ranging from 24 kV to 420 kV.
