"Smart City" next-generation societal systems

Kikusui is advancing to the next stage.

PhotoThe challenges that we face in this century include problems of food, the environment, and energy. In particular in the energy field, in addition to economic growth and environmental protection, measures to combat risks resulting from international competition, disasters, and other factors are essential. The history of humanity can be described as the history of obtaining energy, and this also means that there can be no breakthrough in any other area unless the energy problems are resolved.

"Smart City" is a concept for next-generation energy and societal systems. Under this concept, the main source of electrical power will shift to solar and other renewable forms of energy; integrated management of all energy including heat and unused energy will be conducted for each region with extensive use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology); and the efficiency of energy use will be increased. It is a concept that aims to resolve the problems of fossil fuel depletion and global warming.

As a specialist manufacturer of electronic measurement instruments and power supply equipment, Kikusui is supported by a strong foundation of electronics technologies developed over more than 60 years.
