Doosan Enerbility said on July 23 that it had obtained a type certification from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the global leader in product safety testing and certification, for its 10MW offshore wind turbine (DS205-10MW model).

This marks the first time a Korean company has acquired international certification for a 10MW offshore wind turbine model.

The certified 10MW model is the upgraded version of the 8MW model that was developed by Doosan in 2022.

The verification of the turbine, which began this past February at Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do, was finished in April, and the design and test data verification were carried out before the awarding of the certification.

The turbine model has a blade with a diameter of 205 meters and a height of 30 meters, equivalent to an 80-storey apartment building.

The model was designed to have a capacity factor 30 percent higher, even in a low wind speed environment of 6.5m/s.

Doosan Enerbility entered the offshore wind power business in 2005. Since then, it has supplied numerous offshore wind turbines to domestic projects, such as the Jeju Tamra Offshore Wind Farm (30MW) in 2017, Southwest Sea Offshore Wind Farm (60MW) in Jeollabuk-do in 2019 and the Jeju Hallim Offshore Wind Farm (100MW) project in 2025, thereby establishing itself as the largest offshore wind turbines in Korea.

During this process, Doosan has contributed to the development of the robust offshore wind ecosystem in the Korean market by raising the localization of parts, which was in the 30% range at an initial stage, to the current 70 percent or more range.

“By developing Korea’s first 10MW offshore wind turbine, we established the foundation that enables us to contribute to the Korean government’s policy of expanding renewable energy,” said Sohn Seung-woo, CEO of Doosan Enerbility’s Power Services Business Group.

“Given that this is a feat that was accomplished together with our 150 partner companies in Korea, we aim to lead the efforts to promote the growth of the domestic supply chain for this sector by actively pursuing business expansion.”

The 11th Basic Plan for Long Term Electricity Supply and Demand, presented by the government this past February, calls for raising the installed wind power capacity to 40.7GW by 2038.

As Korea’s installed wind power capacity is currently a mere 2.3GW, rapid expansion is expected to take place.

The government is actively pursuing the supply of offshore wind power in the Korean market, as reflected through the proposed policies such as the Special Act on the Promotion of Offshore Wind Power Development and Distribution, Acceleration of Renewables-Oriented Energy Transition, and Construction of the Energy Highway.

Doosan Robotics Showcases ‘AI Robot Solution’ at Automatica 2025

Doosan Robotics participated in Automatica 2025, Europe’s premier automation exhibition in Munich, Germany from June 24 to June 27.

At the event, Doosan released its innovative “AI Robot Solution,” showcasing a wide range of intelligent robotic technologies within a two-part exhibition space: “Automation in Action Zone” and “Automation to Reality Zone.”

In the Automation to Reality Zone, visitors were given the chance to explore a suite of AI-integrated robot solutions.

Notably, the company presented AI robot technologies developed in collaboration with NVIDIA and AWS.

Among these were “Voice to Real,” a voice-recognition-based solution co-developed with AWS and an enhanced version of Mixmaster Moodie, which debuted at CES 2024. Equipped with a 3D vision camera, the collaborative robot interprets everyday language, understands user intent, locates objects, and autonomously executes corresponding actions.

The Material Handling Solution integrates three collaborative robots with vision capabilities, enabling them to recognize and manipulate objects without prior training.

This setup utilizes Doosan’s proprietary Multi-Arm Dynamic Manipulation Engine, which orchestrates multiple robot arms to perform highly complex and precise tasks simultaneously.

The Sanding Solution allows robots to autonomously map and polish intricate surfaces using AI and 3D vision, while the Inspection Solution performs real-time exterior inspections of vehicles with high accuracy, leveraging a 3D scanning system.

Another highlight was "Sim to Real," a real-time motion control solution leveraging NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a reference application built on NVIDIA Omniverse for simulating and testing AI-driven robots, and CuRobo, a CUDA-accelerated robotics library.

Utilizing GPU acceleration, it rapidly computes sophisticated robot trajectories.

Simulated motions seamlessly transfer to physical robots via real-time communication, enabling precise and responsive operation.

The ‘Automation in Action’ zone demonstrated practical robot applications across key stages of the manufacturing process, including welding, machine tending, assembly, quality inspection, and palletizing.

These solutions have been co-developed with European partners and are already being deployed by global industry leaders such as General Motors, Danone, Heineken, and Royal Mail, demonstrating their commercial viability and operational reliability in the European market.
