The research of innovative renewable energy system
With the aim of coexistence with nature, learn from nature, to convert energy from the wind and the wave

Sustainable renewable energy systems development

Renewable energy system is a sustainable energy system, which is operated under the natural environment. In considering the future of the energy system of our country, it is important to develop a renewable energy system that uses the natural energy that circulates. However, there are many issue to optimal energy system development in the natural environment, it is important to operation in the natural environment, to understand the nature of complexity, the uncertainty and diversity, and to reflect to the design of systems.

Especially, natural wind that is a source of energy of wind power system is affected by the atmosphere of the state and terrain properties such as low pressure and typhoons. This influence produces a flow phenomenon with a complex spectrum and causes some issues such as a failure trouble to the renewable energy systems. In addition, an introduced in recent years in wind power generation system, the social acceptance issues such as noise problems and bird strike issues have abound. In our laboratory, along with the physical phenomenon elucidated by large-scale numerical simulation technology as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), to solve a variety of problems, practical wind power generation system, with the aim of optimization of wave power generation system, and we are conducting research and development, such as the following.

• （1）The optimum wind power generation system development by using computational fluid dynamics
• （2）The wind turbine control technology developed by a non-contact laser wind measurement
• （3）The social-acceptable wind power generation system technology research and development
• （4）Wind power SMART MAINTENANCE technology research and development
• （5）Small wind turbine technology development
• （6）Natural symbiotic blow-hole wave power generation system development
