About Our Laboratory †

Our research and education in the area of power systems covers the entire process of electricity generation and utilization, with a view to carbon neutrality in 2050. Our hardware approach includes the design and evaluation of the elements that make up the following power systems, as well as the construction of systems that combine elements.

• Power generation sources, such as synchronous generators, solar cells and rechargeable batteries
• Power semiconductor devices, capacitors, inductors, transformers, and other elements that make up power conversion circuits
• Load equipment such as motors, lighting, etc.
• Transmission and distribution wires, cables, bus bars, circuit boards, etc. that electrically connect these elements

Our software approach includes modeling, parameter identification, and optimization based on theoretical and experimental data using mathematical analysis methods, in evaluation and design.. In more complex systems, it is no longer easy to confirm phenomena by experiment, so numerical simulation using models is a useful tool. However, numerical simulations always require assumptions, and if these assumptions are incorrect or inappropriate, the results obtained from the simulation will lack validity. In order to simulate phenomena that occur in real power systems, we cultivate the ability to perform simulations based on a thorough understanding of the necessary assumptions and the validity range of the model, and we apply this ability to our research.
