Frontier of High voltage / High Current Technology
The electric power system is undergoing a major transformation in response to the need to build a carbon-neutral society. In addition to the upgrade of the conventional AC grid, there is an urgent need to develop fundamental technologies for the DC grid. With the application of social infrastructure construction in mind, we are developing new sensors to understand physical properties and discharge physics, and elucidate discharge phenomena, current interruption phenomena, and electrical conduction phenomena in solids. The laboratory is directed in collaboration with Associate Professor Masahiro Sato and Project Professor Takashi Fujii.
