Renewable Energy

Environmental stewardship and government regulation are fueling a rise in the use of renewable sources of energy. These include technologies that utilize natural energy such as photovoltaic cells and wind power. Artificial photosynthesis is also attracting attention as a new renewable energy source. In addition, power plants and electrical infrastructure that produce and transmit secondary energy require chemical analyses to ensure efficient and safe operation.

Weight reduction

Weight reduction

 

Weight reduction development is underway to improve electricity cost performance and fuel efficiency to reduce the environmental load of automobiles. Weight reduction is also an important theme as a countermeasure against the increase in the number of ECU units and battery weight due to the shift to EV. For weight reduction development, many kinds of new technologies are used such as high tensile strength steel, aluminum alloy, composite materials (GFRP / CFRP) and dissimilar materials joining for multi material. In the process of developing these technologies, various measurements are carried out such as testing, analysis, and observation. Useful evaluation technologies for development of weight reduction are introduced in this session.
