Project

Aiming to facilitate the popularization of renewal energy in harmony with power systems During the second oil crisis, while studying solar cells at university, Kobayashi joined the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry to participate in the Sunshine Project as an alternative energy and power system specialist. He is working on a wide range of issues associated with the popularization of renewable energy, such as technologies that enable stable connection of solar power to power distribution lines and using heat pumps and storage batteries to absorb excess power during the day.
