SK Eternix Holds AI Wind Power Facility Safety Technology Forum in Jeju
SK Eternix held a two-day forum titled "Technical Exchange on Enhancing Wind Power Facility Safety Using AI" in Jeju starting October 29, co-hosted by Jeju Energy Corporation, the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, and the Wind Power Service Association, with about 50 representatives from power generation companies, inspection agencies, and O&M companies attending. South Korea's wind power facilities have grown to 848 turbines totaling 2.22GW, and as turbines become larger and facilities age, safety risks such as fires and blade damage are rising. SK Eternix also operates the 30MW Gasi-ri Wind Farm in Jeju and is building ESS facilities under the centralized contract market using existing transmission lines, with the goal of commercial operation in the first quarter of next year.

SK Eternix is expanding technological cooperation on wind power facility safety management using artificial intelligence (AI).
SK Eternix announced that it will hold a two-day forum titled "Technology Exchange on Improving Wind Power Facility Safety Using AI" at the Gloucester Hotel in Jeju starting Oct. 29. The event is co-hosted by Jeju Energy Corporation, Korea Electrical Safety Corporation and the Wind Power Service Association, with approximately 50 participants from power generation companies, inspection agencies and maintenance firms.
South Korea's wind power facilities have expanded to 848 turbines with a combined capacity of 2.22 gigawatts (GW). As turbines become larger and facilities age, the risks of safety incidents, including fires and blade damage, are increasing. Preventive safety management has become particularly important ahead of the introduction of safety assessments for onshore wind power facilities reaching 20 years of operation.
Participants will discuss accident prevention and data-driven safety management measures in response to larger wind turbines and the growing number of aging facilities.
SK Eternix operates the 30-megawatt (MW) Gasiri Wind Farm in Jeju. The company is also building an energy storage system (ESS) facility under the centralized contract market using existing transmission lines, targeting commercial operation in the first quarter of next year.
"As the wind power market expands, demand for improved safety is also increasing," said Kim Hae-jung, CEO of SK Eternix.
