Project

Sparking technical innovation for making renewables into mainstay power sources He is engaged in research, using non-Intrusive load monitoring system, to ascertain the operating situation of household electrical appliances, and research on supply and demand operation planning for electric power grids. At present, he is working to evaluate impact on the electrical grid due to output fluctuations of wind and solar power generation, mitigate output fluctuations using storage batteries, and forecast output of renewable energy. He is actively working to solve problems associated with broader adoption, so that renewable energy can play the role of a major energy source.
