Ueda Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that approaches power systems through photovoltaic generation and energy management.
AboutAbout the lab
Sustainable electric power through solar PV and energy management.
The Ueda Lab conducts research aimed at realizing sustainable electric energy systems, centered on photovoltaic (PV) power generation system technology and energy management technology.
Large-scale deployment of renewable energy requires a range of technologies, including advanced utilization of power sources, energy management on the consumer side, and integration into the power grid.
In its computer simulation studies, the lab uses real data obtained from demonstration studies, among other sources, to carry out research that gives a tangible sense of connection to the real world.
In PV research, experiments, measurements, and fieldwork are also important, and the lab travels to various demonstration test sites, not only in Japan but elsewhere, to conduct research.
Key terms
- Renewable energy
- Has low energy density and is intermittent (its output is not continuous). Momentum for large-scale deployment is growing worldwide.
- Energy consumers
- The side that uses electric power. In the lab, research covers improving the efficiency of energy demand on that side and forecasting it.
- Power grid
- The equipment that transmits and distributes electric power. In the lab, research covers understanding demand across the whole grid and maintaining supply–demand balance.

To enable large-scale deployment of renewable energy, the lab explores new ideas aimed at developing technologies such as advanced utilization of power sources, energy management on the consumer side, and integration into the power grid. The research is organized into the PV Evaluation Group, the Consumer Group, and the Grid Group.
*Illustrative imageEvaluation and Fault Detection of Solar Panels
The PV Evaluation Group conducts research related to PV evaluation, such as evaluating the characteristics of solar panels and using those characteristics to detect faults.
*Illustrative imageImproving Efficiency and Forecasting of Consumer Energy Demand
The lab studies methods for making consumer-side energy demand more efficient and for forecasting future demand. The Consumer Group is in charge.
*Illustrative imageMaintaining Supply–Demand Balance in the Power Grid
The lab studies how to grasp demand across the entire power grid and how to maintain supply–demand balance efficiently. The Grid Group is in charge.
