Our Mission
The electric power grid has become increasingly complex, interconnected, and dynamic. These challenges are driven by factors like new technology deployments, evolving regulatory policies, and changing market environments. In spite of this additional complexity, the grid must continue to meet Korea’s growing energy needs.
AGM Center addresses these challenges by building capacity and capability within Korea’s electric sector to analyze the electricity delivery system using Big Data, advanced mathematical theory, and high-performance computing to assess the current state of the grid, mitigate reliability risks, and understand future needs.
We support the transformation of data to enable preventive actions rather than reactive responses to changes in grid conditions, helping system operators improve reliability, resilience, and security of Korea’s power system.
