Hitachi Industrial Products, Ltd. (“Hitachi Industrial Products”) today announced that Hitachi Industrial Products will launch a large-capacity multi-port EV charger that enables fast charging of electric vehicles (EV) from October 2023. Large capacity multi-port EV charger developed by Hitachi Industrial Products enables to shorten the charging time and eliminate the charging congestion by increasing the number of vehicles to be charged simultaneously. Bidirectional charge/discharge control technology enables to eliminate grid congestion without the need for grid reinforcement, and to stabilize voltage control required due to large introduction of renewable energy. In addition, high-efficiency power conversion technology maximizes the value of EVs’ potentiality as distributed energy resources. Hitachi Industrial Products will contribute to the expansion of charging infrastructure and growth of EVs in the market in order to realize a decarbonized society through this technology. Background The Japanese Government has declared its goal to realize the carbon neutrality, with zero overall greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and set a plan for all new passenger car sales to be electric by 2035. Despite this, implementation of EVs in the domestic market is still slow due to shortage of charging infrastructure and lack of due consideration of specific use cases for EVs. It is also expected that the power system will be overloaded due to the growth of EVs in the future, and utilization of EVs as distributed power resources will be required to eliminate grid congestion. Demonstration of one of use cases utilizing a “Large-Capacity Multi-port EV Charger” Hitachi Industrial Products is participating in the demonstration project initiated by CHAdeMO Association to verify the Japan-China next generation charging standard CHAdeMO 3.0 (ChaoJi2) and to promote the standard globally.

Copyright ©2023 JCN Newswire. All rights reserved. A division of Japan Corporate News Network. Its Drone WAUWATOSA, Wis. – Feb. 26, 2023 – PRLog — Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) were initially used as military devices. Still, their use in commercial applications has grown over the past five years. As a result, the drone industry expects to grow at 15.37% CAGR over the next five years. The entire industry is worth just a little less than $130 billion. The delivery drone stats, along with those in agriculture, construction, and other sectors, make this number possible. The agricultural industry uses drones to survey their extensive acreage, making this drone market worth $32 billion. Almost 25% of all construction sites in the US use drones. This market is around $5 billion. Drone sales statistics for the government say that they will spend almost $18 billion in the next ten years through the purchase USA of 1000 UAVs. These are not just for military applications, but in the city too, police drone statistics say. Aerial drones are manufactured with a combination of different materials and composite parts. Some common materials used in the construction of drones include carbon fiber, fiberglass, and various plastics. These composite materials build lightweight bodies, winds, and tails. Because drones fall under FAA regulations, they need to be structurally sound and not fail. Therefore, choosing the right industrial oven to cure, dry, or bake composite materials is critical in manufacturing drones. There are several options available. Here is a brief overview of ovens. Industrial ovens heat composite materials for various manufacturing applications, including drones. The heating process usually involves exposing the composite material to a controlled temperature and humidity environment for a specific period. This process hardens or strengthens the material and removes any excess moisture that might be present in the material. The specific type of industrial oven used for heating composite drone parts will depend on the composition of the material, the size and shape of the pieces, and the desired outcome of the heating process. Some common industrial ovens used for this purpose include conveyor ovens, batch ovens, and continuous ovens. Conveyor ovens heat large production of composite parts placed on a conveyor belt that moves through the oven chamber and allows for continuous heating and cooling of the parts. Batch ovens heat smaller production pieces or those too large or irregularly shaped to be moved on a conveyor belt. In these ovens, the parts are placed in a chamber, the door is closed, and the heating process begins. Continuous ovens move workpieces steadily through the heating chamber and allow the processing of many parts while they remain continuously moving. All ovens are calibrated to the composite material that you use. The oven needs control over temperature, humidity, and pressure to give the desired results in terms of final strength and surface quality. That’s why industrial ovens are built custom to a specific application. Companies, including aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods, now depend on ITS’ Composite Curing Ovens to cure their high-strength, low-weight carbon composite materials. The need for custom ovens for the composite industry is why International Thermal Systems has worked hard to gain a solid reputation for developing custom solutions for their customers.
