Energy systems have entered a transformational period, with diverse factors interacting in complex ways. This interaction includes technological factors such as the advancement of renewable energy, and policy and institutional factors related to aspects such as electrical power system reform and energy security. In a deeper sense, it also encompasses their impact on the automotive and information device industries; their influence on social aspects such as energy security, environmental preservation and lifestyle convenience; and the creation of new services that use data from distributed energy systems.

The goal of our research is to raw up future energy scenarios and present a vision of an appealing energy society. We do this through analyses of technological trends and other aspects, based on academic knowledge, objective facts and data. To realize that vision, we are also striving to advance research, design systems, propose services and more through industry-government-academia-social collaborations.
