[Field of reseach] Lightning damage prevention and risk assessment

Project

Protecting power systems from the risk of lightning damage He is specializing in research on lightning damage countermeasures for distribution system equipment. He has a background in evaluating lightning resistance of power distribution equipment, consumer equipment, smart meters, etc. and calculating lightning damage level. Utilizing this knowledge, he developed a method to calculate the cost required for countermeasures and its effects by combining equipment data and calculation programs (distribution line lightning risk evaluation program). Instead of the empirical rule, quantitative evaluation was made possible.
