Project

I never stop thinking. Taku Noda was involved in the development of a power system simulation program at the Bonneville Power Administration which is under DOE of the United States, when he was a PhD student. Then, he obtained his PhD and joined the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI). In 2006, he started developing a new power system simulation program called XTAP (eXpandable Transient Analysis Program) so as to meet simulation needs of utility companies in Japan. After the Great East Japan Earthquake, XTAP is heavily used for studies related to the incorporation of renewable energy sources, wide area hvdc interconnections and so on. XTAP is a computer program for the waveform-level simulations of power systems.
