    Research and Development of Advanced Maintenance Techniques and Automation Technologies

    KEPCO KPS develops advanced maintenance and inspection techniques to provide effective maintenance engineering services for power generation facilities.
    It also develops automation systems for high-quality maintenance.

  2. 02

    Development of Diagnosis and Evaluation Technologies for Mechanical Equipment

    KEPCO KPS develops diagnostic and structural-integrity assessment technologies for equipment such as reactors, steam generators, turbines, boilers, and pressure vessels.
    To do so, it applies analytical methods including structural analysis, flow analysis, and coupled thermal-fluid-structure analysis, as well as root cause failure analysis (RCFA).
    It also provides related engineering services.

  3. 03

    Development of Weld Repair Technologies and Engineering Services

    KEPCO KPS develops specialized welding equipment (GTAW/LBW), welding-process technologies, and welding procedures (WPS/PQR), and provides related engineering services to secure the integrity of major components — such as reactors and piping — in power plants at home and abroad.

    Development of New & Renewable Energy Technologies

    KEPCO KPS researches and develops power-conversion devices — a core technology for new and renewable generation such as solar and wind power — and develops BMS, PMS, and EMS technologies for energy storage systems.
    It also provides engineering services related to the power grid.

  2. 06

    Robotics Technologies

    KEPCO KPS develops remote-maintenance and automated-inspection systems that let workers operate safely in extreme environments involving high temperatures, high radiation, and noise.
    Through these technologies, it contributes to the stable operation of nuclear, hydro, and thermal power plants in Korea.

  3. 07

    Nuclear Decommissioning Technologies

    KEPCO KPS develops technologies for the remote dismantling, decontamination, and radioactive-waste treatment of permanently shut-down nuclear power plants.

  4. 08

    Development of Non-Destructive Evaluation Technologies

    KEPCO KPS develops advanced inspection techniques and inspection systems to detect pre-service and in-service defects that may compromise the safety of power generation facilities.

  5. 09

    Development of Commercialization Technologies for 3D Printing of Power Generation Components

    KEPCO KPS develops commercialization technologies for the manufacturing and refurbishment of power generation components based on 3D printing.
    These technologies include reverse engineering, additive manufacturing, post-processing, reliability assessment, and performance testing.
