Emergency meeting and facility inspection… 24-hour control room operation
[에너지신문] In the second week of August, power group companies are busy as the sixth typhoon ‘Kanun’ approaches the Korean Peninsula with the peak demand for electricity in the summer.
Power generation companies are not slowing down in the occurrence of unexpected situations such as reduced generator output and concentrated inflow of marine microorganisms at water intakes as Typhoon Kanun heads north and heavy rain and strong winds are predicted in a situation where the heatwave continues every day.

On the 8th, Lee Seung-woo, president of Southern Power, visited the Hadong and Busan Bitdream Headquarters to check the status of management of power generation facilities in preparation for peak power supply and demand, operation of shelters in the heat of the office, and compliance with the three major work rules, etc. He also looked at the on-site preparations for areas vulnerable to strong winds and heavy rains in preparation for typhoons in the north, along with the operation of a standby group to prevent breakdowns.
During the summer power supply and demand countermeasure period, Korea Southern Power operated a company-wide power supply and demand situation room 24 hours a day, and from the first week of the countermeasure period, management conducted intensive summer site inspections at eight offices nationwide, including Samcheok and Busan.
In addition, in early July, the company-wide joint ‘Summer Power Supply and Demand Emergency Simulation Training’ and the last 7th ‘Emergency Inspection Meeting for Electricity Supply and Demand Peak and Typhoon’, etc. there is.
Korea East-West Power is also responding to power peaks in real time by operating an emergency situation room during the summer power supply and demand countermeasure period.

Korea East-West Power held an emergency inspection meeting for company-wide power generation facilities at the headquarters on the 8th, and intensively checked the emergency response status of power plants and construction sites with the headquarters management and six heads of power generation and construction headquarters attending.
In particular, △ operation status of the power supply and demand control room according to the update of the maximum electricity demand △ inspection of weak points in strong wind and heavy rain facilities in preparation for typhoons △ reporting system for each headquarters and emergency response system in case of emergency △ safety and flood prevention and disaster prevention management at construction sites were inspected.
Management asked for thorough on-site management to ensure the safety of field workers while maintaining a pre-site inspection and quick breakdown recovery response system, as the instability of power supply and demand increases due to the peak power demand due to heat waves and the landing of typhoons.
In addition, Central, Western, and South-East Power also recently held an emergency countermeasure meeting and on-site inspection of power generation facilities.
Meanwhile, KEPCO KPS also held an emergency power supply and demand inspection meeting in the summer at its headquarters crisis management situation room on the 7th, and checked the surge in power demand due to the heat wave and preparations for damage from typhoons heading north.

At this meeting, to ensure a stable power supply, preventive activities for power generation and transmission facilities such as thermal power, nuclear power, and pumped-storage facilities and emergency recovery operation systems were intensively inspected, and the safety management situation of on-site maintenance personnel was also improved. In addition, countermeasures once morest flooding of power generation facilities and vulnerable facilities due to typhoons were checked, and on-site responses were checked for rapid recovery in case of an emergency.
A company official said, “Currently, 735 emergency maintenance personnel are on standby 24 hours a day in 64 business sites to respond to power demand and outage response activities.” KEPCO KPS plans to focus its company-wide capabilities so that an immediate response can be made in case of an emergency in power supply and demand through an integrated operation system with its own countermeasure team inspection and crisis response control room.
