Tsuyoshi Matsumura Grid Integration, Project Engineer, Hitachi Energy Japan
I am a member of the Project Engineering Team of our Grid Integration business here in Hitachi Energy Japan. My daily tasks include confirming the specifications of equipment and facilities, negotiating with suppliers and customers, and coordinating test details at factories and delivery sites. I am involved in a variety of assignments ranging from design to commissioning coordination for power plants, industrial facilities, and substation facilities using renewable energy.
In Japan, the FIT (Feed-in Tariff) scheme was introduced in 2012 to promote power generation from renewable energy sources, and since then the amount of solar power generation has increased significantly. Under these circumstances, we have proposed and been selected by many customers across the value chain for substation facilities.
