Foundation for Sustainable Energy Era

Amid the global shift toward green development, energy efficiency, and infrastructure digitalization, the Smart Power Solution has become a strategic tool to optimize operations, ensure energy security, and support businesses in meeting ESG standards. With a comprehensive solution ecosystem, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam is pioneering the creation of a smart energy future in Vietnam.

Solutions for smart energy transformation

The rapid growth of renewable energy, electric vehicles, digital devices, and Industry 4.0 is creating major challenges for traditional power systems. In this context, the Smart Power Solution offers a breakthrough approach to support the energy sector’s transformation. This model integrates advanced electrical equipment, automation technology, remote control, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital data platforms.

In Vietnam, the need to modernize the power grid, optimize consumption management, and enhance system reliability is increasingly urgent - particularly in industrial parks, factories, urban areas, and commercial buildings. As a pioneer in smart energy, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam delivers comprehensive, integrated solutions ranging from equipment to energy management systems and electricity storage platforms.

Smart electrical systems rely on high-quality, connected, and controllable infrastructure. LS ELECTRIC Vietnam currently offers a diverse equipment ecosystem, including: medium and low voltage switchgear and equipment such as HDVC, GIS 420kV 6300A, Switchgear 40.5kV 50kA, circuit breakers, contactors, relays, MCSG, RMU, VCB, ACB, MCCB, MCB, ELCB; measuring and protection devices like PQM, SPD, smart meters, and protection relays; as well as electrical cabinet systems, busways, and various types of transformer stations and modular substations such as oil transformers, cast resin transformers, E-House, and compact substations. All devices are designed for seamless integration with SCADA/DMS control systems, enabling safe operations, reduced maintenance time, and optimized installation space.

Digital intelligence: automation, data integration, and AI

SCADA, DMS, and EMS are the three core control platforms - the “brain” of a smart power system. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) monitors, controls, and records real-time power data, enabling rapid response to incidents. DMS (Distribution Management System) manages the distribution grid, segments fault, quickly restores supply, and optimizes power flow. EMS (Energy Management System) coordinates power sources, loads, and storage, supporting energy-efficient operations, cost reduction, and ESG compliance.

In Ho Chi Minh City, EVNHCMC’s SCADA/DMS system has helped cut power restoration times after incidents from 60–120 minutes to under 5 minutes, significantly reducing SAIDI/SAIFI and enhancing distribution reliability. LS ELECTRIC Vietnam is a trusted partner providing equipment and platforms for similar projects, meeting the diverse needs of enterprises nationwide.

Unlike traditional power grids, a key feature that makes a power system “smart” is its ability to connect, collect, and analyze data. LS ELECTRIC Vietnam applies advanced technologies in its smart power systems, including smart sensors and IoT to monitor voltage, current, temperature, and power quality while transmitting real-time data to the control center; smart meters (remote meters) to collect power consumption data and assess performance by area, distribution line, or specific equipment; and AI and Big Data to analyze load forecasts, detect abnormalities, schedule ESS charging/discharging, and warn of potential system risks. As a result, the system not only operates automatically but also self-learns and self-optimizes, enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing risks. At the same time, businesses gain precise control over energy use, enabling proactive operation management and cost optimization without manual intervention.

Smart storage and energy management toward a green economy

One of the most important components of the Smart Power Solution is the Energy Storage System (ESS). LS ELECTRIC Vietnam provides integrated ESS solutions, including lithium-ion batteries (Samsung SDI) for high durability and stable performance, PCS (Power Conversion System) for AC/DC power conversion, and BMS (Battery Management System) and EMS for monitoring, control, and protection of the charging/discharging process. These solutions are accompanied by technical cabinets and safety monitoring systems that comply with international standards. The ESS system delivers multiple benefits such as reducing electricity costs by charging during off-peak hours and discharging during peak hours (peak shaving), stabilizing loads by limiting voltage fluctuations and increasing production line reliability, providing backup power during grid failures, and supporting ESG goals by reducing CO₂ emissions and helping businesses meet sustainability criteria. Some notable applications of the Smart Power Solution in Vietnam include a factory in Bac Ninh with a 280kW solar power system combined with a 250kW/680kWh ESS, cutting electricity costs and improving operational stability, and the PECC2 Innovation Hub in Ho Chi Minh City, which integrates a 400kW PV system with a 750kW/2.5MWh ESS hybrid system, achieving a high self-consumption rate, providing backup capability, and ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Alongside hardware, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam develops and provides a suite of software platforms, including xEMS - an energy management platform for businesses and industrial parks; FEMS (Factory EMS) and BEMS (Building EMS) for monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing energy consumption in factories and buildings; and EV Charger solutions (AC/DC) integrated with ESS to reduce grid load and support electric vehicle infrastructure. All platforms offer remote connectivity, intuitive dashboard displays, and automatic report generation in compliance with ISO 50001, ESG standards, and Vietnam’s energy-saving regulations.

Today, in line with the global shift toward renewable and clean energy, the adoption of smart grid technologies has become an essential solution for integrating, stabilizing, and optimizing new and renewable energy sources. This approach promotes the growth and effective utilization of renewable power, contributing to environmental protection, national energy security, and sustainable development. With over 25 years of experience, LS ELECTRIC Vietnam is not only a provider of electrical equipment but also a strategic partner supporting businesses, industrial parks, and modern urban areas in building smart, safe, efficient, and sustainable energy systems.
