Energy System Analysis Laboratory

Designing future energy systems that are efficient and carbon neutral

Efforts by both the energy supply side and the energy demand side are essential to build a sustainable energy system. On the supply side, it is necessary to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, but the unstable output of renewable energy presents a mountain of technical and social challenges for its introduction. On the demand side, energy saving efforts and demand-side energy control according to the energy supply situation are also required. Our laboratory is working on these issues mainly through a system engineering approach based on mathematical methods.

Environmental engineering

FOR SOCIETY

We are studying viable energy systems by considering environmental, economic and societal aspects of energy issues through system engineering approaches. To translate the research results into practical use in society, we are conducting joint research with companies, local governments and public research institutes.

RESEARCH THEMES

Research on the control systems of energy demand at housings and buildings
Research on systems using distributed renewable energy
Proposals on the proliferation of energy-saving facilities and home appliances based on human behavioral sciences
Research on the simultaneous solution of both certain regional problems and issues associated with decarbonization.
