- In May 2024, Samsung Electronics Co. and KEPCO signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on power facility technology exchange. Under this agreement, both companies will share AI-based technologies for evaluating and diagnosing power facilities, including transformers and circuit breakers. The partnership also involves case studies on fault prevention and the application of new preventive diagnostic technologies to ensure stable power infrastructure operation. To implement the MOU, Samsung and KEPCO will form a dedicated task force for ongoing cooperation
- In April 2024, POWERGRID Corporation won three interstate transmission projects through tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB), enhancing renewable energy integration and power evacuation infrastructure. The first project includes a 765/400/220 kV pooling substation at Mandsaur and a 765 kV D/C transmission line in Madhya Pradesh to facilitate power evacuation from Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer/Barmer complex. The second focuses on augmentation works at an existing substation for power transmission from Gujarat’s Khavda Renewable Energy Zone. The third establishes a new 765 kV substation at Rishabhdeo and 765 kV D/C transmission lines in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, strengthening India’s transmission network
- In May 2023, ON Semiconductor introduced the Hyperlux automotive image sensor family, designed to enhance Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. Featuring industry-leading 150dB ultra-high dynamic range (HDR) and LED flicker mitigation (LFM), Hyperlux ensures high-quality imaging under extreme lighting conditions. The sensors offer low power consumption, a compact footprint, and support Level 2+ driving automation, making them ideal for safety-critical applications
- In June 2022, Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. introduced the A33110 and A33115 magnetic position sensors, designed for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These sensors combine vertical Hall technology (VHT) with tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) to enhance accuracy and redundancy in safety-critical applications. They provide high-resolution magnetic angle sensing, ensuring precise motor control for electric power steering (EPS) and brake-by-wire systems. The sensors are ASIL D-compliant, offering built-in diagnostics for improved reliability in autonomous driving
- In May 2022, Infineon Technologies AG introduced the XENSIV 60 GHz automotive radar sensor, designed for in-cabin monitoring systems (ICMS). This sensor detects micro-movements and vital signs, helping prevent heat-related risks for infants and pets left in vehicles. It also supports gesture sensing, distance measurement, and short-range sensing operations. Featuring 4 GHz ultra-wide bandwidth FMCW operation, the radar ensures high precision and low power consumption. In addition, it enables seat belt reminders and enhances passenger safety
