Environmental Energy Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that analyzes energy issues with computational models to explore low-emission strategies and policies.
AboutAbout the lab
Mapping out sustainable energy systems with models
The Environmental Energy Systems Lab studies strategies and policies that can help solve long-term energy problems, such as the world's energy supply and the environmental challenges society faces.
Through the development of analytical methods and the use of computational models, the lab seeks to clarify the role that science and technology play in shaping better energy and environmental policy.
Researchers from diverse backgrounds work on building decision-making frameworks that evaluate future scenarios from both "macro and micro" perspectives.
The lab aims to contribute to realizing sustainable energy systems in Japan, Asia, and the world.
Key terms
- Microgrid
- A small-scale power system that combines wind turbines, solar panels, storage batteries, and the like
- Low-emission development strategy
- A development strategy for curbing the growth of greenhouse gas emissions in cities and other areas. Its abbreviation is LEDS
ResearchResearch themes
To find strategies and policies that can help solve long-term energy problems, the lab develops analytical methods and uses computational models. Its main research areas are energy system modeling, evaluation of low-emission development strategies, renewable energy microgrids, electricity market analysis, and eco-driving.
Energy system modeling
From both operational and investment perspectives, the lab models energy systems that span infrastructure from local districts to the national level and treat multiple types of energy as connected.
Multifaceted evaluation of low-emission development strategies
The lab evaluates the various impacts of low-emission development strategies.
Microgrids combining renewable energy
For microgrids that combine renewable energy sources, the lab carries out optimization, dynamic power simulation, control, and experimental verification.
Electricity market analysis
The lab analyzes day-ahead markets, regional electricity markets, and demand response mechanisms, and also works on building conceptual models of smart grids.
