PcVue was chosen to supervise the huge Electrical distribution system and substations of Hyundai Steel, Korea’s second-largest steel mill, in Dangjin, South Chungcheong Province. This Plant is the world’s first enclosed raw material processing system as part of its efforts to make it a “world-class eco-friendly steelworks.”All movement of materials from ship to processing facilities occur on enclosed conveyor belts. In addition, the materials are stored in dome-shaped stores cutting off all contact with open air, addressing the problem of dust from coal and other materials – a major pollutant associated with steelworks – at source.

Hyundai Heavy Industry is installing  the SCADA system taking care of the entire steel plant Power supply.

Apart from the incoming Power feeder there are 154kV, 33kV and 6.6kV cells for Rolling substations and the same goes for the iron making substations.

The PcVue  application deployed includes four pairs of redundant servers and a pair of overall redundant servers in the central control center, as well as 10 SCADA clients distributed around the site.

Around 30,000 equipment parameters are monitored and controlled.

Hyundai Heavy industry is deploying a state of the art Power Management system with load shedding capability and using its own IEC61850 compliant IED devices communicating with PcVue supervisory system. This is a Flagship reference for PcVue in Korea.
