Energy - Mini-Hydropower Generation Using Unexploited Heads

Challenge

  • Renewable energy is essential for decarbonization.
  • Mini-hydropower is more stable than solar and wind, and supports "local production for local consumption," but site availability limits development.
  • Formulating a feasible introduction plan for mini-hydropower is challenging.

Solution

  • Provide integrated engineering services from planning to installation and operation of equipment for optimal mini- hydropower generation by utilizing local unused energy
  • Propose PPP/PFI project schemes

Impact

  • Introduce mini-hydropower generation through public-private partnerships
  • Promote decarbonization by securing locally produced and locally consumed power sources
  • Combine with microgrids to secure power sources in times of disaster

Track Record

  • Many mini-hydropower installations in Japan in cooperation with local governments.
  • The ID&E group has operated nine power plants with a total capacity of 3.1 MW.
Energy - Grid Storage Battery Business

Challenge

  • As the introduction of renewable energy sources such as solar power and wind power accelerates, the challenge is to secure the regulating power for stable operation of the grid.

Solution
