At Mitsubishi Electric, we have developed a wireless multi-hop routing technology that is perfect for smart meters. The deployment of this technology means that various communication systems can be leveraged flexibly and efficiently, thereby producing an incredible collection rate (99.9%) when it comes to data on power-related figures. In terms of communication protocols, this solution also offers compliance with the IEC 61968 series of international standards. We are the only manufacturer in Japan able to provide total, comprehensive packages when it comes to smart meter systems, which includes everything from measurement devices, to head end systems, and meta data management systems. That is why customers can rely on us to continue creating new services which leverage smart meters well into the future.

With solar power and electric vehicles becoming more popular, people have higher and higher expectations when it comes to the decentralization of power systems found in various regions. Conventional power generation systems and power distribution systems, as well as newer dispersed power frameworks, comprise elements which are organically linked to the efforts being made to decentralize power systems. We leverage high-precision demand responses to monitor, manage and control power resources, meaning that power supply can be adjusted in response to system operation requests provided by power companies. It also means that imbalances can be minimized. Efficiently leveraging dispersed power production and power storage systems, we also facilitate optimized operation when it comes to power generation undertaken within the entirety of a given area and promote the efficient use of reusable energy among users.

Our vacuum circuit breakers deploy chrome-free steel sheets containing absolutely no traces of the soil pollutant hexavalent chromium. The rustproofing process also involves no usage of hexavalent chromium, even when it comes to small parts like pins and screws. VCBs are made with environmentally friendly materials containing no harmful substances. The Inspection of the mechanical section of a product can be undertaken by simply removing the face plate, making maintenance a breeze. The optimization of motor characteristics in accordance with the deployment of highly efficient decelerators and load torque also means that these products also save more energy.

A unique technology developed at Mitsubishi Electric allows for the deployment of dry-air insulation featuring low gas pressure. The use of sulfur hexafluoride (a greenhouse gas) is forgone to help curb global warming. Opting to go with electromagnetically-controlled VCBs allows for reductions in operational energy, and the optimization of equipment layouts and main circuit conductors means reductions in transmission loss. This makes us the proud provider of switchgear products offering incredible levels of energy-saving performance. These products also provide stellar safety owing to the storage of main circuit equipment (including busbars) within sturdy, metal containers that are grounded.
