My name is Tanimoto, Executive Vice President and Senior Vice President of Kyushu University (responsible for industry-academia-government-society collaboration). I was appointed as the Director of the Research and Education Center for Offshore Wind in October 2024. I am determined to devote myself to the development of the Center. I thank you in advance for your support.<\/p>\n
Kyushu University is the only university in Japan capable of developing wind turbines, combining its unique wind turbine & floating structure technology (hardware) and wind analysis & fluid structure analysis technology (software). In addition, under the Designated National University Corporation Concept, Kyushu University aims to become Japan\u2019s Green Innovation Hub, contributing to creating innovative technologies, making policy recommendations and developing human resources, and presenting innovations in wind energy technologies, including offshore wind power generation. By consolidating related research resources based on the abovementioned offshore wind research achievements, we established the Research and Education Center for Offshore Wind (RECOW) on April 1, 2022, under a university-wide structure centered on the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, which is Japan\u2019s top institute in the field of offshore wind power. In conjunction with the establishment of RECOW, in August 2022, we launched the Consortium for Offshore Wind Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration, aiming to bring together the experience, know-how, and capabilities of industry, academia, and government, with the RECOW at its core. This has enabled us to establish a system to promote research and education, in an integrated manner, on wind conditions, wind turbines, and floating bodies, which are essential for offshore wind research and education, and, through the acquisition and promotion of large-scale projects, we have accumulated and built a foundation for basic research related to offshore wind power generation.
\nThese efforts have been recognized by the government, and in April 2024, we established new divisions to promote industry-academia-government collaboration and international cooperation and promote social implementation, in order to make RECOW a core research and education center for offshore wind energy in Asia. The introduction of wind energy in Japan is currently lagging behind advanced wind power generation countries in Europe and North America. However, RECOW, to which the new divisions have been added, and the Consortium for Offshore Wind Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration will work on issues related to offshore wind power generation in an all-Japan framework that transcends organizational boundaries, and will actively contribute to making offshore wind power a main source and to realizing a decentralized energy society in Japan.
\nWe very much appreciate your cooperation and encouragement in the operation of RECOW. Thank you in advance for your support.<\/p>\n
