The Sunchon Thermal Power Plant, in close cooperation with researchers of Kim Chaek University of Technology, made major components of generating equipment by its own technology.

Workers and technicians of the Pukchang Thermal Power Complex introduced a new ignition technology into boilers, thus laying a foundation for the non-heavy oil-based ignition.

The Management Bureau of Hydroelectric Power introduced a real-time efficiency measurement system into Huichon and Orangchon power stations and the Thaechon Power Station No. 1 and realized a rational load distribution through cooperation with researchers of the Electric Power Industry Research Institute and the Electric Power Information Institute.

Technicians and workers in the field of power transmission and transformation boosted the safety of power system by developing a new type lightening conductor and installing it on major transmission lines.

The transmission and distribution base in each province put the operation of the power geographic information system on a normal basis and made technical innovations with the main emphasis on realizing the optimized system readjustment, thus considerably reducing the loss of electricity in transmission.
