Solar Pawer Safety switch | In the past, when a building with solar panels installed on the roof caught fire, firefighting activities were not carried out until nightfall and power generation stopped. (February 16, 2017 NHK News) In the future, as the ratio of renewable energy increases, it will be more common to install them on the roofs of buildings, and at the same time, it is necessary to consider safety. The switches introduced here can be operated remotely using the Bluetooth function. By adding the MPPT function (maximum power point tracking function) as an option, the power generation efficiency does not depend on other panels. In other words, the maximum power generation capacity can be demonstrated for each panel and each system. |

Electricity STABILIZATION/Measures against momentary power failure FLYWHEEL | By storing the rotation of the flywheel as kinetic energy, it can be used as a backup power supply for power system stabilization and momentary power outages. As a structure, a generator is connected to the flywheel It will be simple. Good at high output in a short time, very cheap, They are maintenance-free, have a long service life, are recyclable, and are environmentally friendly. Uses include: (1) During normal operation, with power supply from the grid Keep the flywheel rotating. (2) During a momentary power failure, the power supply from the grid It will disappear, but it will be generated by inertial energy Power is supplied to the load for a certain period of time without interruption. |

DC hybrid switch | Since an arc is generated when a DC power supply is cut off, it deteriorates significantly over time, and there was no simple cut-off switch for a large capacity power supply. Hybrid switches that do not generate arcs are expected to be used in a wide range of applications, not only because they are compact and have a long service life. For example, when a switch for DC1500V is used as a mega solar generation cutoff switch, a PCS (power conditioner) for 1500V can be installed and the number of panels for each system can be increased, reducing costs. It is also connected to |

「Dosya-Bull」 (An app that inform in advance of rainfall information and the possibility of sediment disasters) | We have developed an application that detects the possibility of sediment disasters and send notifications to user's smartphone, by combining the Dosya-Bull rainfall index calculated based on XRAIN rainfall data and information of maximum slope angle of the terrains and the sediment disaster hazard areas. This application can provide rainfall notifications and alerts in accordance with the sediment disaster hazard evaluation, which can be used as one of the last resort to save people who evacuate late. It can also be used for avoiding danger for workers during patrols such as road closures, early detection of sediment disasters, and avoiding danger for workers in construction sites. It is possible to customize and improve individual functions for each disaster prevention-related organization or company. (e.g. information of sediment disaster hazard areas, warning areas, topography, evacuation centers, etc.) |
