MISSION

Energy is essential to our daily lives.

The mission of our laboratory is to design a safe, secure, and prosperous carbon-neutral society from the perspective of electrical engineering.

Our key focus includes energy security, economic efficiency, environment, and safety. Deregulation and digitalization toward carbon neutrality are rapidly transforming the energy sector.

After the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, energy security and economic efficiency have become critical issues. 

We have long been committed to research in energy systems, global warming countermeasures, and energy policy.

From 1999 to 2011, we were in the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, studying human social and economic activities and evaluating their impacts on the local and global environment.

Since we moved to the Department of Electrical Engineering in 2011, we have combined our expertise in electrical engineering with a comprehensive understanding of economy,  society, and consumer behavior.

We respond flexibly and quickly to the problems of "here and now", such as post-earthquake power supply planning and the recent curtailment of renewable energy outputs.

Our research ranges as follows: 

・Designing a power generation mix model with mass-installation of renewable energy.

・Designing an energy economic model that takes bounded rationality into account.
