18AccessCollaboration　AIST, as one of the largest public research institute in Japan plays a central role in cooperating with the industry, the academia, and the government as the world's innovation hub by utilizing and developing diverse research personnel, advanced research infrastructures, research results, mechanisms of technology fusion and human resource development, local bases and their networks, etc. The team presents examples of collaboration activities with companies in disaster-affected areas, local universities, etc. below.●Program for Promoting Technologies Invented by Indus　try in Disaster Areas in Tohoku　AIST conducts the “Program for Promoting Technologies Invented by Industry in Disaster Areas in Tohoku ” from FY2013 as the program wherein the Institute provides technical support for the seeds (producer-driven solutions) related to renewable energy that the companies in disaster-affected areas (three prefectures: Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate Prefectures) that underwent tremendous damages in the Great East Japan Earthquake. 　The Institute has supported a total of 82 cases (38 companies) so far, three of which (“solar cell string monitoring system”, ”bypass diode checker” and “Crosslinking coagent for encapsulants in PV modules” in the right figure) succeeded in practical application as a new project, whereas some of which are starting to provide specific outcomes such as the state close to their practical application●Renewable energy field through the joint research with 　the institute　The Institute accepts students from local universities (College of Engineering of Nihon University, Fukushima University, University of Aizu, Tohoku University, and others) from the FY2014 and implements a training project for industrial human resources in the renewable energy field through the joint research with the institute.Solar cell string monitoring systemIt is a device that measures current and voltage of a solar module. This was manufactured as a monitoring and generated power recovery device for a PV generation plant in support of AIST.Bypass Diode CheckerBypass Diode Checker has been commercial-ized with the AIST's technical support as a device that can detect open failure of bypass of the photovoltaic module. To avoid impact on photovoltaic power generation, inspection of the bypass circuit will be carried out during the night. This device will contribute to enhance the soundness and safety of photovoltaic power system.Crosslinking coagent for encap-sulants in PV modulesThe crosslinking coagent has been productized with AIST’s technical support to enhance the reliability of sealing material (EVA: ethylene-vinyl acetate) used in PV modules.By using this coagent, it is possible to enhance the reliability of PV modules without altering the production process or raising the cost.String monitor [Neoale] manufactured by Asahi Denshi Co., Ltd.Bypass Diode Checker manufactured by Nippon Kernel System Co., LTD Joint research and collaboration (results in FY 2015)●”Program for Promoting Technologies Invented by Industry in Disaster Areas in Tohoku”　　　　　　　　●Joint research with local universities: 　　　　　　●Joint research with companies: 　　　　　　　　　●Other joint research: 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　25164311Total number 95Main upbringing human resources(results in FY 2015)●AIST Postdoctoral Researcher 　　　　　　　　　　　●Research Assistant 　　　　　　●Technical Staff 　　　　　　　　　　　　●Technical Training5152321Total number 64FREAFREAAccess to FREA (car)Access to FREA (train,bus,taxi)Sansokenbus stopFukushimaTechnologyCentre(High-tech Plaza)Seibu-DainigymnasiumMachiikepark↑To Inawashiro(Aizuwakamatu)Koriyama-Nishi-Kogyo-Danchi crossing↑ToSendai↑ToSendaiTohoku ExpresswayKoriyamaInterchange↓To Nasu and Tokyo↓To Iwaki↓To TokyoUneme doriSakura doriTohokuShinkansenTo TokyoKikutaBan-EtsuSaisen10 min.
