Study & Research

Study : Electrical Energy and Power Systems Engineering

Research Focus : Optimization of Solar Power Integration in Distribution Networks

My research is mainly hinged on PV solar power optimization in the diverse and interesting field of Electrical/Renewable energy engineering. This study makes for a very important and necessary research because of the current global energy and climate situation.

As evidenced by the ever increasing threat of global warming due to climate change instigated and abated by human’s continued use of fossil fuels to supply the daily energy demands, there is need to find adequate and sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels to reduce on carbon emissions. Solar energy has been adopted as a very good and viable alternative to fossil fuels for supplying electrical power. However, solar power is highly unpredictable and diurnal. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate sizes and placements of the Solar PV plants so that the maximum benefits of such installations can be extracted while keeping the cost at a minimum. This is where my research is highly centered.

Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan has offered an excellent laboratory to conduct this research. The Professors and the students in the laboratory are very helpful. All the equipment for such a challenging and emerging study are provided.

Reasons to Choose Japan ＆ Desired Future Career Path

・Japan is very advanced technologically and one of the leading countries in engineering and Science
