Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study " Environmental conscious smart house using hybrid buffer and health risk management device " is the first attempt for residential use aiming at combined use of electric double layer capacitor with high power density and secondary battery with high energy density in order to build a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) based on cogeneration of heat and energy by introducing a hybrid buffer device, and to maintain human health, physical conditions (heart rate, body temperature, body surface temperature, blood pressure, etc.). We have developed a new safety risk assessment device based on the Human Environment Management System that can be used to predict and manage equipment and trigger equipment start and stop, etc., and proposed a healthy, environmental conscious house by means of a hybrid HEMS.
