Environmental and new energy technologies supporting the "Smart City" concept. Kikusui will continue to accept new challenges.
In relation to Smart Cities, we are active in distributed power generation including solar power, wind power, and fuel cells; EMS (Energy Management Systems); next-generation automobiles such as EV, HV, and PHV; as well as energy-saving appliances and other environmental and new energy fields. We carry out product development targeting a broad range of devices, equipment testing, and production equipment related to these fields. We have also entered the market of quick chargers for electric vehicles (EV) where future growth is expected. In addition, we are carrying out development of key EMS-related devices. Kikusui will continue to be actively involved in new business areas where our measurement and power technologies can be put to productive use.
Kikusui Provides Solutions for Energy and The Infrastructure of Society
Kikusui has identified three areas of solutions for Smart Cities – technologies in the environmental and energy saving fields. These are energy creation (power generation technologies), energy storage (power storage technologies), and energy saving (technologies for greater efficiency), and we are providing products for each of these purposes. Our primary products include DC power supplies, as well as electronic loads that absorb and consume electrical energy. In particular, our electronic loads are used as evaluation instruments that are essential for energy creation and energy storage, and large growth in sales of these products is expected. In the energy saving field, we provide AC power supplies that are key equipment for standard evaluations and grid connection (two-way connections for power supply and receiving) tests, as well as withstanding voltage testers for testing the safety of electrical and electronic devices and EMC testers for testing electromagnetic safety.
