LS ELECTRIC said it has commercialized a smart power distribution solution designed to support the stable operation of decentralized power grids, as it moves to secure an early position in the rapidly growing distributed distribution market.
The company announced that it has successfully deployed its independently developed Outage Management System (OMS) at a district power facility operated by CNCITY Energy in the Hakha district of Yuseong-gu, Daejeon.
The newly installed OMS is a smart distribution operation solution that digitally integrates the status and operational data of distribution facilities. According to LS ELECTRIC, this marks the first time a privately developed distribution network management system has been applied in an operational district power business environment.
The OMS is designed to quickly identify affected areas and equipment in the event of a power outage, enabling faster and more effective responses. Beyond outage response, the system manages the condition and operational history of all assets across the distribution network using data-driven methods. This allows for improved asset life-cycle prediction and optimized maintenance planning, which is expected to enhance overall operational efficiency.
LS ELECTRIC carried out the demonstration project jointly with CNCITY Energy and said the successful deployment has validated the technical reliability of its smart distribution solution. Building on this experience, the company plans to accelerate further technology development aimed at next-generation distributed power grid markets.
The global distributed distribution market is expanding rapidly as renewable energy adoption increases and electricity consumption patterns evolve. The market was valued at approximately USD 45.5 billion last year and is projected to grow to around USD 224.5 billion by 2035, according to industry estimates, representing a compound annual growth rate of about 17.3 percent.
An LS ELECTRIC official said that the OMS is gaining attention as a critical solution not only for district power operators but also for large-scale manufacturing plants and industrial infrastructure. The official added that the system has already been validated across multiple industrial sites and is expected to play a key role in enhancing the stability of distributed power grids, while also supporting the AI-driven transformation of power systems.
LS ELECTRIC said it plans to leverage the OMS as a core platform to lead the next-generation distribution market, as demand grows for smarter, more resilient power network operations.
