[Sports Seoul Reporter Kim Seok-jae] Structural battery technology, which integrates batteries and structural loads, is being developed by Park Mi-young, CEO of Sasung Power, a small and medium-sized venture company based in Sejong City. Sasung Power, a certified excellent technology evaluation company, holds 14 intellectual property rights, including a defense technology patent (manufacturing method for carbon fiber fabrics and carbon nanotube electrodes), and core technologies related to structural batteries and their application. The company also provides specialized engineering services and develops and manufactures structural battery IT solutions (software), structural batteries, and structural battery application products (wearable robots, ESS)
Sasung Power's structural batteries utilize glass fiber-reinforced composites, offering superior heat resistance and dramatically improving the weak thermal characteristics and instability, the biggest drawbacks of existing lithium-ion battery systems. Increasing the area covered by the structural battery in a system can increase energy efficiency by 30-70% and reduce weight by 10-30%. For example, when combined with a solar ESS system, it can reduce weight and increase energy efficiency by at least 50%. Therefore, Sasung Power's structural batteries hold a competitive edge in the domestic and international structural battery and application product markets.
Sasung Power is also focusing on diverse commercialization projects, including wearable robotic composite suits for muscle enhancement using structural batteries, high-efficiency structural battery drones, ultra-compact and unmanned electric vehicles, solar ESS hybrid systems, and wearables.
CEO Park Mi-young holds a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from KAIST and worked for 10 years in the design and manufacturing of composite materials at Korea Fiber. Since then, she has been dedicated to developing core and applied technologies for structural batteries, which integrate energy storage batteries with load-bearing structures while working on numerous large-scale national research and development projects. CEO Park emphasized, "Continued government interest and support are essential for the structural battery, wearable robot, solar ESS, and electric vehicle businesses to achieve global competitiveness."
