Contribution History of Research Institutes to Electric Power Industry in Japan

摘要

After reorganization of power industry in 1951, power system of Japan was remarkably expanded. To cope with this, R&D in vast area was conducted in the academy, MITI, electric power companies, manufactures, and research institutes. This paper generally describes the technical contents that the three research institutes, namely Electrotechnical Laboratory (ETL), High Voltage Power Laboratory (HVPL), and Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), have contributed to the development of power transmission technology after the war.
