AboutAbout the lab
Superconducting technology for an energy society compatible with the environment.
The Superconducting Science and Engineering Lab conducts research and development using superconducting technology to realize an advanced energy society compatible with the global environment.
Superconducting wires can carry currents more than 100 times larger than conventional materials such as copper and aluminum, with losses that are practically negligible.
Using advanced measurement and evaluation techniques, the lab investigates the properties of superconducting wires to improve their quality, and also takes part in national projects and joint research with private companies.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kisu Lab."
Key terms
- Superconducting wire
- A wire-shaped material that can carry larger currents than copper or aluminum, with losses that are practically negligible
- Grid interconnection
- Operating power generation facilities or power equipment while connected to the power system (transmission grid)
- HILS
- A testing method that connects actual hardware to a computer simulation. Short for Hardware-In-the-Loop
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the characterization and quality improvement of superconducting wires, as well as their application to power systems. Aiming to build innovative energy networks for achieving carbon neutrality, Professor Higashikawa carries out research at a wide range of scales, from evaluating superconducting materials to analyzing case studies of superconducting equipment deployment.
