Taking full advantage of CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) techniques, we are pursuing technical developments both to improve energy usage efficiency and to expand the practical applications of renewable energy for creating a low carbon society. In principle, any field based on electromagnetic energy is a potential research target. Currently, we carry out research in areas such as loss reductions in electric machinery; design optimization of renewable energy power generation systems; and the design of magnetic shields, etc. The research is characterized by large-scale computational analysis of physical phenomena, including various numerical techniques and novel modeling methodologies, i.e., key techniques that distinguish the approach taken by our laboratory.
