en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 23, LS Materials announced it will supply supercapacitors (UC) for a U.S. energy company’s commercial demonstration project for nuclear fusion power generation, with over 1,000 large-scale UC modules to be used in the project.

LS Materials’ UC (single-phase capacitor) delivers extremely high output performance, generating 15 megawatts of power in 0.06 seconds to provide the instantaneous power required for nuclear fusion device operation—a power level sufficient to meet the electricity needs of thousands of households simultaneously.

LS Materials explained that this order is significant as it marks the first supply to the nuclear fusion power generation sector, and is expected to lead to follow-up orders as commercialization progresses with more demonstrations and large-scale orders. High-output UC technology for nuclear fusion power generation involves high technical difficulty and strict verification standards, so orders are likely to be concentrated on companies with preliminary references (business history).

Currently, LS Materials is expanding its business from the existing structure centered on wind turbines and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to next-generation power infrastructure fields such as nuclear fusion, hydrogen fuel cells, and grid stabilization. Nuclear fusion is a next-generation technology that generates energy using the same principle as the sun, with major countries such as the U.S., Europe, and China advancing large-scale projects. Due to the surge in electricity demand driven by the explosion of AI data centers, investment in the nuclear fusion field is expanding, and demand for high-output power control via unified communication is also expected to increase. In particular, the medium-to-large unified communication market is characterized by an oligopolistic structure, with anticipated benefits from market growth.

LS Materials CEO Hong Young-ho stated that this supply is an important turning point for fully entering the commercial market, and the company will expand orders to next-generation power infrastructure markets such as hydrogen fuel cells, AI data centers, and grid stabilization.
