Hitachi Astemo Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Brice Koch / henceforth: Hitachi Astemo) announced today that Hitachi Astemo High Cast Corporation (President & CEO: Makoto Amano), a Hitachi Astemo group company, has installed and begun operations of a solar power generation system at its Fukushima Plant, as part of an initiative to go carbon neutral.

The global technology and market leader in power grids has achieved the first-step target in its Sustainability 2030 plan and steps up the pace towards carbon-neutral.

Project aims to realize energy service business for large-scale power consumers and electric power retailers.

Two grid-stabilizing technologies combined in one device to enable transmission systems to integrate more renewable energy, contributing to carbon-neutral society.

Confirmed the technical effectiveness of the Special Protection Scheme system and Hybrid Battery Energy Storage System for full operations.

Floating substations and their platforms are an enabling solution for the next phase of the booming offshore wind power market.

Increased Total Throughput and Improved Reliability.

Transformers for floating projects will increase offshore wind potential by enabling a new generation of floating substations and turbines.

Aiming for a next-generation factory model that is overall optimal and continues to evolve by integrating and utilizing factory data.

The acquisition enables Hitachi to provide one-stop and speedy robotic systems integration using unique, advanced technology for an entire automated line in the fields of logistics and Factory Automation.
