Integrated modeling
Represent MT-HVDC converters and cables together at power-system scale.
About C2 GRID HUB
AI·SW research and training for the MT-HVDC grid
C2 GRID HUB predicts, controls and validates converter–cable interactions while training specialists in both equipment design and intelligent grid operation.
Center mission
Our final objective
Build AI·SW capabilities for modeling, control and analysis of integrated MT-HVDC systems and establish an industry–academia–research training framework.
Stability analysis
Identify instability and equipment interactions using wide-area EMT and measurement data.
Control & operation
Develop converter controls for grid-adaptive services and MTDC operation.
Equipment diagnostics
Detect cable and power-equipment conditions before they develop into failures.
Participating laboratories
Yonsei University laboratories operating the center
The center combines expertise in power systems and energy informatics from two Yonsei University laboratories.
2026–2032 roadmap
From foundation to demonstration and adoption
The program builds its foundation in Phase 1, develops and validates core technologies in Phase 2, and advances field deployment and global adoption in Phase 3.
Foundation
Establish the research, education and collaboration framework and finalize detailed plans around industry needs.
Core technology development
Develop and validate HVDC control, protection, stability analysis, fault location and explainable-AI diagnostics.
Demonstration & adoption
Apply integrated analysis, operation and diagnostic tools in the field and advance localization, standards and industry adoption.
Research & training
Research and education as one program
Graduate education, industry projects, AI·SW·HILS practice and international exchange build skills that can be applied in the field.
Industry-linked education
Graduate courses, problem-driven industry projects, internships and field training.
AI·SW·HILS practice
Explainable-AI grid modeling, HILS cross-validation and joint controller and sensing-system development.
Global joint research
International workshops, webinars, visiting research, postdoctoral appointments and global fellowships.
