AboutAbout the lab
Power semiconductor research for using electricity without waste
The Saito Lab conducts research and development on power semiconductor devices to realize a low-carbon society, aiming to create a new power network.
Power electronics is a field of technology for controlling electrical energy and using it effectively, and the semiconductor devices used to control electricity in its circuits are called power semiconductor devices.
As efforts to increase power generation from renewable energy sources that do not emit CO2 advance worldwide, it is considered essential to use generated electricity without waste and to keep generation and consumption in balance so that power can be used stably.
The lab is part of the Energy Conversion Engineering Division of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, and is introduced on the website under the name "Saito Lab."
Key terms
- Power electronics
- The field of technology for controlling electrical energy and using it effectively
- Power semiconductor device
