The scope of this business extends throughout the world, and in addition to their day-to-day work on issues such as technical collaborations or M&A, this field is also a critical part of the company's corporate strategy. Hitachi's practices are a subject of interest around the world. While legal knowledge is a prerequisite, the job also demands a broad spectrum of skills, including an interest in advanced technology, language skills, and external negotiating skills.

TECHNICAL SALES

This job is about being a producer who develops new markets. The products and services you will deal with consist of hardware, software, and other products together with the systems that tie them together. They cover a broad scope, including buildings, factories, plants, and urban infrastructure that features highly integrated systems. The key to sales is to act in a way that considers how to contribute to the customer and to society by taking full advantage of the comprehensive capabilities of Hitachi. This is work on large scale that might include opening up new markets, creating products, or proposing business systems to customers.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Quality assurance staffs guard the final stage of the product manufacturing or system implementation process. Whether or not a delivered product or system satisfies its functionality, performance, durability, or other requirements not only determine a manufacturer's reputation for reliability, it can also have a significant impact on the customer's business. The job also includes the development and implementation of quality assurance practices based on the motto, “quality is the essence of a Hitachi’s product”. All business groups and departments perform rigorous checking.

MANUFACTURING ENGINEER

Manufacturing Engineers take on the role of expanding production volume and improving production efficiency through the use of technology. Yoko-hama Research Laboratory is the base for research in this field, with teams working on production technology in each of its departments.

This field also includes software production technology engineers who are engaged in improving the productivity of information system implementation, and who can be found working across all fields of activity.

SYSTEM ENGINEER (SE)

The role of System Engineers is to share a vision for the future with corporations and with national and local government, and then to plan, design, and develop the systems needed to realize this future. Their work extends beyond designing systems, however, and includes work on the services and businesses themselves. This includes dealing with questions such as what services to develop and how they can be made to fit in with the people who use and work with them. It is a job that frequently requires you to get away from your desk and go out to consult with people. System Engineers include those who draw on their specialist skills to create new Hitachi technologies. It is a job that offers scope for a variety of different types of professionals.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The role of Product Development is to deliver new value to the marketplace by incorporating constantly evolving technologies into new products. Utilizing its core technical capabilities, Hitachi responds quickly to constantly changing market trends and societal needs, with an involvement in everything from the planning and development of devices and systems through to product commercialization. Examples include the development and commercialization of server hardware and software for the information and telecommunications sector, power generation plant, and transportation systems for the electric power and social and industrial infrastructure sectors, and escalators and elevators for urban development.

RESEARCH ANDDEVELOPMENT

The role of this job is the development of technologies which is indispensable to business development, materials research with specific goals, research linked to product development, or the development of integrated systems for building global networks. The tasks taken on by the engineers in R&D departments cover an extremely wide range of topics, extending from basic to applied research, and they demand people who are creative and keen to take on challenges.

In addition to supplying the equipment used in energy distribution, there is a need for stronger capabilities in the field of system solutions that integrate equipment and IT. These include wide-area interconnection between different power grids, grid stabilization

to prevent widespread outages, and environment-friendly, energy-efficient, highly reliable substation and distribution equipment for industry. The energy distribution system field is strengthening its global supply chain, fostering its human resources, making forward-looking strategic investments, and developing superior technology to underpin its engineering capabilities and ability to create the systems demanded by customers. Through these initiatives, Hitachi is seeking to achieve sustainable growth while keeping pace with the rapidly growing global market by supplying its customers with systems that deliver outstanding added value.

Business Activities

T&D technology contributes to the reliable and efficient power transmission and distribution systems which are indispensable today. The electricity generated at power plants is carried over long distances to consumers. In order to minimize the transmission losses, the voltage is raised to ultra-high voltage at a power plant. The higher the voltage, the lower the transmission loss, so the main equipment in systems such as transformers and circuit breakers has been continuously improved and innovated to increase the voltage and current capacities. There is a well-managed 550 kV grid network in Japan, while the world's highest voltage of 1,100 kV is also in operation. Our state-of-the-art technology is leading this ultra-high voltage market. As a leading company in the T&D systems field, we are focused on the reliable and efficient supply of electricity which is a crucial social infrastructure.

Switchgears are pieces of electric power equipment that are installed in power generation plants and substations, cutting off overcurrent in the event of a system accident. At present, the world’s highest transmitted voltage in practical use is 1,000 kV, and the highest overcurrent of the system is 63 kA.Switchgears are required to ensure power cut-off with a voltage 10,000 times higher and a current 1,000 times higher than that of a residential breaker in just one-hundredth of a second, and are significant in both scale and impact on society, preventing electric system network accidents. In developing countries, there are many plans to build new power generation plants and substations, and the demand for switchgears is rapidly increasing with the sharp rise in demand for electricity. In developed nations, including Japan, the demand for renewal of devices that were installed decades ago is increasing. As the introduction of renewable energy and smart grid initiatives has been expanding in recent years, the intelligence of switchgears is required to further advance the development of new products introducing IT from the viewpoint of stable power supply and quality maintenance.

TOPICS Hitachi and ABB form a strategic partnership for high voltage direct current (HVDC) business

High voltage transformer is major equipment converting ultra high and high voltage electric power, and a main function of the substation. This is one of our most traditional and core products. In response to needs of handling high-voltage and high-current electric power in large-scale power grid and power supply network, we developed mainly high-voltage transformers from 500kV to 1,000kV (UHV), and researched new technologies corresponding to fields such as High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission system until now. It is now being required to develop new equipment in consideration of environmental conservation and accident prevention, and in addition, it is being expected to develop new technologies corresponding to functions incorporated in smart power grid. Through providing reliable equipment to global T&D market, we are contributing to stable supply of electric power.

As progress of the liberalization of energy systems and places suitable for renewable energy are moving away from regions with large demand, the need has arisen for lending electric power all over Japan. After Great East Japan earthquake, the introduction of HVDC equipment has become concrete in power transmission networks as a measure to enhance power sharing from the viewpoint of wide-area power management, such as enhancing power sharing of different frequencies between eastern and western Japan areas and early power restoration during blackout. In addition, the application of HVDC technology is also expected as a means to transmit offshore wind power generated mainly in northern Japan to Kanto, Chubu and Kansai, which are areas with large demand. It is essential to adopt the latest HVDC technology to realize this power transmission, and we believe that it is important to provide reliable, safe, and secure HVDC systems to the Japanese market as soon as possible and continue business over the long term. Hitachi has entered into a partnership with ABB, which has cutting-edge HVDC technology and global achievements, to increase the amount of power that can be loaned in electric power systems and connect HVDC with renewable energy.

HYDROELECTRIC POWER FIELD, HYDRO TURBINE & PUMP-TURBINE FIELD

We contribute to a stable supply of electricity using hydroelectric power generation equipment.Hydroelectric power generation provides an endless supply of renewable energy without emitting any CO2. In its 100-year history, Hitachi has been supplying such systems internationally as well as boldly exploring new possibilities in the field such as a 400-MW class adjustable-speed pumped storage power plant and a pumped storage power plant with an ultra-high 700-m head.Hitachi also supplies and provides maintenance services for industrial large-scale synchronous motors and synchronous phase modifiers for electric power, and electric generators for nuclear

fusion power source (M-G set) by using its hydroelectric power generators.Hitachi Mitsubishi Hydro Corporation was established in October 2011 through a merger with Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. The new company will handle marketing, engineering, installation, construction, and maintenance of hydropower generation systems, and also develop and design core components for use in these systems.

Business Activities

Turbines are the engines of a hydroelectric power system. Based on high reliability underpinned by extensive experience, the Hydroelectric Power Systems Division undertakes planning, development, design, fabrication, installation, and commissioning of turbines. By getting involved from the design stage of new power plants, the division helps create the optimum hydroelectric power plant for a particular site.Hitachi optimizes the design of each of its hydroelectric power plants to ensure that the water resources are utilized effectively.The collective expertise of Hitachi's engineers helps protect the environment.

Adjustable-speed pumped-storage power generation systems are a means of keeping the grid frequency stable and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, the increased use of renewable energy sources has focused attention on large energy storage systems with the flexibility to adjust their input and output power; plans are under way to adopt adjustable-speed operation for new plants in Europe and America as well as existing plants in Japan.Based on our experience at sites in Japan, we intend to be involved in future projects in cooperation with other divisions of Hitachi.

Pumped-storage power generation is a way of storing and generating electric power using pumping and generation. Increasing the head (difference in water level) is an important factor in improving the economics.Hitachi achieves reliability and stable ope r a t i o n o f h i g h - head pumped -storage power generation equipment by steadily accumulating and effectively combining various pumped-storage power technologies.

This work involves the "repowering" of existing hydroelectric power plants. Hitachi refurbishes power plants that have been in operation for 30 years or more with new equipment to improve their power generation efficiency and make more effective use of existing dams. In addition to systems originally installed by Hitachi, the division is also actively involved in improving the performance of plants that were originally supplied by other companies. Combining new equipment developed using the latest technologies with existing plants is a way of extracting even more hydroelectric energy out of sites around the world.

Variable-speed water pumping power generation systems contributing to load leveling of power demand and frequency stabilization of power systems are expected to play a role as energy storage equipment in time of surges of power demand and times of emergency. At Omarugawa Pumped Storage Power Station, which has has implemented a large-capacaity, high-speed variable-speed water pumping power generation system, electric power can be provided in just 2 and a half minutes from a suspended state, which is comparable to nuclear power

plants. With the spread of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, which minimize carbon dioxide emissions, this is becoming more and more important.Reference documents:http://www.hitachihyoron.com/jp/pdf/2013/01/2013_01_13.pdfJan. 2013 Hitachi Hyoron “Omarugawa Pumped Storage Power Station’s variable-speed water pumping power generation system contributes to stabilization of power supply”

TOPICS Omarugawa Pumped Storage Power Station’s variable-speed water pumping power generation system contributes to stabilization of power supply

The aim is to make more effective use of water resources by utilizing fluid simulation together with testing and measurement technologies to improve turbine efficiency. In addition to improving the efficiency of pump-turbines used in the pumped-storage power plants that help improve the efficiency and stability of the electricity grid, Hitachi is also developing pump-turbine runners for adjustable-speed pumped-storage power plants.

Generator motors for pumped-storage are reversible energy converters that work as motors to pump up water into a higher reservoir and store a large amount of potential energy there during night hours when electric demand is low, and also work as power generators to supply electricity to the grid during the day when electric demand is high.As generator motors have become faster and larger capacity, the design should take into consideration the improvement of cooling characteristics of generator motors to respond to the increasing capacity, the strength of revolving parts to withstand high centrifugal forces, and high-speed and high surface pressure bearings of reliable quality.We develop and design our products using sophisticated technologies with electromagnetic fields, stress, heat and fluid analysis.

The runners are a key component of a turbine. Hitachi has been progressively designing new runner shapes that can be used under a wide range of operating conditions or in special location-specific conditions. These new runner shapes, which feature complex three-dimensional curves, are being developed utilizing digital engineering technology such as 3D-CAD/CAM.

Adjustable-speed generator motors are new pumped-storage power generation systems that receive electricity from the power systems at a constant commercial frequency even if the rotation speed of generator motors changes.The pumped-storage power generation systems combine power generator technology with power electronics technology, thus improving the stability of power systems with superb functions including power system frequency control during operation. The systems can not only smooth the power gap between day and night by pumping water using extra power during the night, but also receive electricity from the power systems at a high speed by using the inertial energy generated by the rotating parts.New materials, structures and production methods, which are different from those for conventional generator motors, have been developed and applied to the adjustable-speed generator motors used in this system.

Each hydroelectric power plant is custom-designed for its site. In addition to using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) measurement technologies to identify the optimum shape, Hitachi also performs verification testing to ensure highly reliable operation. We work with power plant owners on the speci f ic issues of each power plant and seek to resolve them through analysis and testing.

These generators are provided in global markets as well as Japan, contributing to society by constantly supplying the electric power that is indispensable for the daily life of consumers.Generator motors and adjustable-speed generator motors used at pumped storage power plant serve as a core part of the smart grid that ensures a stable power supply and the stabilization of power systems with a high-speed power supply capacity and the capacity to absorb a large amount of extra electricity to respond to the mass introduction of renewable energy.Hitachi's generators are evolving by responding to the market demands for larger capacity and higher efficiency and by utilizing our technologies fostered in compet i t ive g lobal markets.

Hitachi provides high-voltage and large-capacity synchronous motors that drive pumps, compressors and fans used in a variety of industries according to the particular needs of customers.We are also committed to supplying and providing maintenance for synchronous phase modifiers for business and generator motors for nuclear fusion power source (M-G set) that are developed based on the technologies of large-capacity vertical axis synchronous generator motors for hydroelectricgeneration and industrial large-capacity synchronous motors.

Hitachi has applied its image analysis technology and examined the digitalization of quality control know-how. From the perspective of the “4 Ms” (huMan-Machines- Materials-Methods), we have collected chronological numerical values and image data of the reaction statuses of chemicals (e.g., liquid color and foaming) and equipment operation statuses (e.g., temperature and rotating speed) using cameras and sensors. By converting the image data, such as that of liquid color, foaming, and stirring state, to numeric data and correlating them with quality, it has become possible to establish quantitative criteria that affect the quality of finished products, and bring the potential to reduce defect rates and improve productivity.In this demonstration, we will introduce the system on-site to verify the effects. In the future, the system will be enhanced by adding new factors of logic through monitoring and analyzing human decisions and contribute to digitalization of the manufacturing know-how of skilled, expert workers in establishing new manufacturing processes.

In the manufacturing industry, due to the diversification of customer needs, rapid progress of digitization and increasingly fierce global competition, companies are required to be able to respond to the demand for mass customization that has the same level of productivity as mass production, even for high-mix low-volume production according to the clients' individual requirements. In these MONOZUKURI sites, frequent interruption of orders by orders with short delivery deadlines and changes in production plans due to sudden changes in delivery dates and specifications frequently occur, which hinder productivity improvement.In particular, machine tools are typical of high-mix low-volume production, which involves manufacturing by processing and assembling components ranging from thousands to tens of thousands based on the clients' various requirements. The important thing here is to construct the ultimate high-efficiency production model that "creates the required amount of the required product, whenever required", and it is necessary to fully grasp the production situation at the site at an early stage through visualization and to speed up the cycle of work instructions, even for one-piece flow production or sudden changes in instructions.To solve the problem, we integrated the know-how with Lumada, which was demonstrated at Hitachi's Omika Factory, and applied it to the new factory. For the "evolution of production visualization", we introduced a system that visualizes and analyzes both production progress and facility operation data in cooperation. For "speeding up the factory control cycle", we refined the work instruction of production by the day to by the hour/minute. In addition, we introduced a system that accurately grasps the location and condition of processed parts by utilizing the work ID. Through these efforts, we will optimize the production of the factory as a whole, we will realize substantial productivity improvement and production lead time reduction.

TOPICS Global business development of steel plant control systems

We have developed "image analysis system" to prevent human errors and to detect symptoms of equipment defects by linking image analysis technology and manufacturing performance data to various cameras as sensing means. Looking ahead, we will promote initiatives aimed at optimizing the global supply chain in addition to manufacturing sites.

We provide clients with proposals and consulting services for optimal solutions to not just social issues such as "work-style reforms" and "improvement of working environment", but also the "improvement of productivity" which has always been an issue faced by the manufacturing industry. We will achieve this through digitizing various 4M data (huMan - Machines - Materials - Methods) at production sites, recording it as big data, and analyzing it with various AIs.

Utilizing RFID, we can grasp the dynamics of people, products and equipment in real time and make it possible to respond quickly when delay occurs. In addition, we analyze workers' situation and dynamic data of parts in the production process and detect its bottlenecks. Improve the production process, feed back the improvement results to the product design, and support the planning of production plans with higher accuracy.

“ARTiMo” incorporates one of Lumada’s AI technologies, an analysis engine by ART. After advance learning of data from the past normal operation of plant devices and equipment, such as temperature, pressure, water level, and flow rate, it classifies correlations of data that serve as yardsticks for evaluating possible signs and automatically creates a category of normal data. It then automatically classifies new data obtained from actual plant operation and compares the data with the category of normal data to determine whether the operation is normal. In the event of the generation of a new data category, it issues an alert to the operators to urge them to make a decision. In addition, it visualizes not only abnormalities of individual devices and equipment constituting the plant, but also their spread to other devices and equipment in the plant. It therefore enables them to be understood to help swiftly restore the normal state of operation.

The “production quality analysis and loss analysis service using 4M data management” contributes to solving customers’ issues relating to quality, production loss, maintenance and energy saving by analyzing on-site 4M data using AI. There are many issues at production sites, such as difficulty in analyzing the cause due to the combination of factors causing quality and loss problems, and not knowing the causal relation of factors related to quality deterioration, basis of decision and timing of conducting equipment maintenance in advance.In recent years we started collaboration with Sumitomo Rubber, which manufactures and sells tires globally having “DUNLOP” and “FALKEN” as their main brands, to deploy a tire production solution for achieving high quality and high efficiency. Having quality improvement as the theme, we have started to analyze the correlation between manufacturing conditions and quality using AI and IoT platform in the tire manufacturing process (mixing, materials, molding, and vulcanizing processes). We are working toward introducing this service in tire manufacturing factories in Japan and overseas, since it has been confirmed as being useful for reduction of data collection and analysis time, reduction of loss during manufacturing, and improvement of quality and productivity of tires through centralized visualization of data, big data analysis, and utilization of AI.

Water-related problems such as a shortage of water in absolute terms or increasing water pollution need to be addressed at a global level. To help achieve this, we are deploying our water-related environmental solutions into overseas markets.

Alongside the formulation of business strategies and development plans, we are also working with governments, local authorities, group companies, and overseas operations to identify and instigate projects in the Asia Belt region in particular.

TOPICS Global water businessFor our water supply and sewage business, we offer all-inclusive services from initial design through to manufacture and on-site trial operation following shipment, with the overall system designed to accommodate the societal requirements and business operation enhancement measures demanded of water supply and sewage systems, in accordance with our customers' requirements. AQUAMAX is the monitoring control system that forms the core of such water supply and sewage systems. With features such as scalable architecture, seamless design (plant exterior/interior, information coordination) and business operation supporting HMI incorporated into the fundamental concept, these systems are highly reliable and flexible, and allow staged expansion and sectional upgrading.

Monitoring control system (AQUAMAX)

Water supply operation technology is essential for the stable supply of water. The energy efficiency of facilities as a whole has become an issue in recent years and we are developing solutions to meet multiple objectives such as keeping the water intake and supply volumes as constant as possible through appropriate distribution for balanced water treatment volumes at multiple water purification plants (stable supply) and controlling the power consumption of water intake and supply pumps (energy efficiency).

Water supply operation technology

In the activated sludge process of a sewage treatment plant, nitrification response and denitration response are modeled and embedded as control software, and real-time control is implemented. By means of nitrification control taking into account the ammonia concentration target values at points midway through treatment, treatment is stabilized, controlling over-aeration and under-aeration with the aim of controlling blower electricity consumption while maintaining water quality.

Water treatment control technology

Using road monitoring cameras, image processing is used to measure traffic volumes and vehicle speeds, and detect abnormal events such as congestion and broken down vehicles.Driver safety support is provided and load on road

management alleviated through measurement of congestion length and automatic detection of abnormal events (stopped vehicles, slow moving vehicles, vehicles to avoid, dropped objects).

Image processing application technology

In order to respond to environmental changes, such as renewal of aging facilities and expansion of facility management, and to provide stable and efficient water supply and sewage services, service operations of the domestic water supply and sewerage systems, which had previously been performed by local governments, have been outsourced to the private sector. In future, Public-Private Partnerships, including full-service outsourcing that combines not only facility maintenance but also service operations such as fee collection and reading of water meters, are expected to be promoted.Hitachi Group will be focusing on the Water Environment Solutions Business as one of the core areas of the Social Innovation Business. In future, we will be expanding not only the electrical and mechanical equipment of water supply and sewerage facilities, but also the service business including management of operations, and we will continue to contribute to the conservation and improvement of the water environment.

TOPICS Aiming for Water Safety, Resilience and Sustainability through Public-Private Partnerships

By improving the system configuration of the RO membrane module, the High Recovery Seawater Desalination RO System was able to increase the recovery rate of water from seawater to approx. 60% compared to the approx. 40% recovery rate of conventional seawater desalination systems. It is an energy-saving system that can produce the same amount of water using approx. 70% or less amount of water intake compared to conventional systems, thereby reducing not only the size of the intake and pretreatment facilities but also the amount of chemicals used in the process. Construction costs, such as equipment costs and civil engineering construction costs, can be reduced when constructing a new seawater desalination plant as the area of the site can be reduced due to the smaller intake and pretreatment facilities.In addition, if the system is installed in existing plants, it will be able to produce 1.5 times more water using the same amount of water intake as conventional systems.

TOPICS Change “High Recovery Seawater RO System” to “High Recovery Seawater Desalination RO System”

We collect date of the radiation dose rate, the air pollutant in the atmospheric environment, the environment measurement data such as the water level, and rainfall of the river etc. by the telemeter facility in real time and intensively monitor at the central monitoring station through wide area network

line and radio line.The central monitoring station monitors environmental information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with server equipment that ensures reliability, and also publishes it in general with contribute to the realization of a safe and secure society.

Environment Disaster Prevention Solution

RemixWater is a new energy saving desalination system with low environmental impact, designed for both industrial and domestic use (drinking water), which integrates seawater desalination and water reuse processes. By integrating the two processes, RemixWater can successfully achieve both energy conservation and low environmental impact. In addition to constructing a new "RemixWater" facility that produces 6,250 cubic meters of water per day at the existing sewage treatment plant in Durban, South Africa as a demonstration project and achieving stable production of water in compliance with the country's standard for the quality of drinking water, Hitachi also aims to achieve energy savings of about 30% *4 and a lower environmental impact compared to conventional seawater desalination systems.

① Next generation Shinkansen train technologiesWe are developing the next generation of Shinkansen trains while responding to transport needs such as faster rolling stock with increased accuracy in driving that applies diverse new technologies that are even more comfortable and environmentally friendly, with control of noise inside and outside rolling stock, controlled drive vibration, energy conservation, and smaller and more compact rolling stock that are easier to maintain.② A-train (Hitachi's new processing technology and module-based production system developed in-house for rolling stock)The "A" in "A-train" incorporates the meanings of the words "advance," "amenity," "ability," and "aluminum."

・ Use of lightweight aluminum materials stabilizes costs during the life cycle, including maintenance and makes it easier to recycle and reuse materials.

・ Friction stir welding (FSW), in which the welded surface is finished without any change in shape or color due to heat enables us to create beautiful outer surfaces.

・ Module construction increases production efficiency and a flexible body structure that responds to a variety of needs.

③ Environmentally friendly technologies (battery electric vehicle)Battery electric vehicles can be driven on electric power from storage batteries in non-electified sections, are environmentally friendly, reduce noise through an electrified drive system and improve passenger comfort.

Rolling Stock Field

① Digital ATC (Automatic Train Control Device)ATC transmits position data of the train in front to trains in operation, and controls speed to ensure safe train operation. Digital ATC transmits the necessary limit position signal from the ground to the brake controller in order to stop, and the device on the vehicle automatically controls the distance from the lead train to ensure stable operation. Passenger comfort improves, making it possible to maintain shorter distance between trains and effectively increase the amount of transport possible.② CBTC (Communication Based Train Control) and ETCS (European Train Control System)International standards for train signal systems include the CBTC for urban traffic such as suburban trains, subways and monorails, and the ETCS, for traffic between urban centers that can handle mutual entry between routes that cross national borders in Europe. Hitachi became the first Japanese company to obtain the CBTC's

highest level of safety certification from a European certifying institution and were the first Japanese company to successfully bring a vehicle-mounted signal device that conformed to the uniform signal system regulations of Europe (ETCS) to market in December 2013. We condensed our long record of rolling stock performance in Japan into a form that conforms to European standards.③ Operation Control SystemsThis system monitors current train line conditions to control operation of trains on time. We are using the latest data processing and communication technology to develop drive organization systems to support speedy recovery when a train is delayed, and network functionality to connect distant stations. Monitoring control of power equipment and station facilities secures safe, stable transport, makes transport command operations more efficient and provides better passenger service.

Safety devices and operation control systems Field

Railroad incoming and transforming systems require a system product that can achieve stable supply of power for safe, high-density transportation as well as incoming and transforming equipment for highly reliable railroad power that contributes to disaster prevention, environmental friendliness and energy conservation, yet does so with a

small footprint.In response to this need, Hitachi provides optimized railroad incoming and transforming systems that capitalize on our deep knowledge of railroad systems and IoT technologies.

Substation System Field

① SiC inverter (SiC: Silion carbide)Most rolling stock inverters utilize power devices made of silicon-based materials, but application of an inverter that uses SiC power devices that have a smaller device footprint, are lightweight and reduce power loss to further reduce energy use and improve performance to bring to life small rolling stock that are exceptionally environmentally friendly.② Hybrid drive systemsWe deployed hybrid drive systems to reduce environmental burden, lower fuel consumption of diesel railcars running in non-electrified sections and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Energy during rolling stock acceleration and deceleration is stored in a lithium battery, which is reused as power from a supplemental power source and

as energy during acceleration. Power generation is controlled as necessary based on acceleration of the rolling stock and the amount of energy stored in order to reduce noise when the rolling stock is stopped or coasting or when the driver stops the engine.③ Vehicle information control unit (ATI)Comprising the information network inside the rolling stock, the ATI controls drive control devices mounted to the rolling stock and brake devices, displays the device data and operating tire data based on turn signals mounted to the steering wheel, and controls service devices such as air conditioning and car interior LED displays and automatic announcement equipment. Automatic testing functions that link to self-diagnosis functions of the devices, and drive condition recording functions that record driving history are helpful when conducting maintenance and diagnosing malfunctions.

Drive control devices Field

The 3-year average for the world's railway market from 2019-2021is in excess of 24 trillion yen, and is forecast to continue at an annual rate of 2.6 percent. The Railway Business Unit views the demand for railway systems that supports social infrastructure in these countries around the world as a business opportunity to make an aggressive push into overseas markets. In 2015, we acquired the Italian railway vehicle systems manufacturer Ansaldo Breda (now the Hitachi Rail S.p.A.) and Ansaldo STS Company (now the Hitachi Rail STS S.p.A.) to have bases in Italy and other European countries as well as America and other regions. Doing so allows us to grow our product lineup to include better turnkey (bulk) solutions business ventures, a world-class product pool to enhance and expand our portfolio and enable us to focus more on IoT/digital business, as we aim to further develop total solutions as a leading company in the railway system business. With a number of projects underway not only in Europe, but in the Americas, Asia and emerging nations, and other regions, a diverse team of human resources who can lead Hitachi's railway system business together with our global partners.

TOPICS Global Business Expansion

In October 2017, business operation of Hitachi-manufactured IEP-oriented rolling stock was commenced on the Great Western Main Line, which runs for almost 300km between the United Kingdom’s capital London and the principality of Wales in the west.

IEP is a project managed by the British Ministry of Transport with total expenses on the scale of ￡5.7 billion, incorporating replacement of existing rolling stock on the Great Western Main Line and East Coast Main Line with Hitachi’s Class800 series. Introducing this Class800 series will drastically improve railway passenger transportation capacity on both the Great Western Main Line and the East Coast Main Line. Also, compared with the trains currently running on both main lines, the weight-per-seat is drastically reduced, and in addition to improvement of time required there is also reduced energy usage. Hitachi is scheduled to manufacture a total of 122 rolling stock formations (866 carriages) for IEP, and will provide maintenance operations over a period of 27.5 years.

■ Advanced Medical Systems/Large-scale Academic Research Equipment Field

■ Healthcare IT Field■ Diagnostic Imaging Systems Field

We design, build, operate and maintain systems for particle beam therapies used to treat cancer. Particle beam therapy (proton beam, carbon-ion beam, etc.) is a form of cancer treatment using radiation. Since there is almost no pain from this treatment, and it has fewer side-effects than other forms of radiation therapy, treatment can coexist alongside social life, and it is being noticed as one of the leading therapies that can treat cancer while maintaining a high QoL (Quality of Life), with further increases to be expected. Hitachi's spot scanning exposure technology can irradiate even complex tumors to suitable high-precision proton beams, minimizing effects on the normal position.Furthermore, by combining with motion tracking irradiation technology, it has become possible to perform high-precision irradiation even on affected parts whose position changes due to breathing, etc. The “PROBEAT” proton beam cancer treatment system, which is one of Hitachi's mainline products, is currently installed at facilities within Japan and abroad and is contributing to cutting-edge cancer treatment. Going forwards, we will use co-creation with customers to promote development of solutions providing treatment plan decision support and prediction of conditions after treatment, etc. through database formation and AI analysis based on radiation therapy information, etc.

Particle Beam Medical Treatment Systems

As a pioneer that developed the world's first Diagnostic Ultrasound System, we have been developing the technology to meet customer's needs. A diagnostic ultrasound system is a diagnostic imaging system that places less burden on the patient because there is no pain and no radiation exposure during examination. Diagnosis is made in real time, and the beating of the heart and the movement of a fetus is displayed. Being a relatively small and mobile diagnostic imaging system, Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems is used for examination anywhere, not only at medical institutions but also disaster affected sites. Our great strength is being able to provide disease-specific solutions that are helpful at medical care sites aimed at improving diagnosis/cure rates of RVS*1, which combines volume data from a patient’ s CT scan, MRI, and diagnostic ultrasound system and high-resolution images with real-time ultrasound, and RTE*2, which visualizes relative tissue stiffness in real time. *1 Real-time virtual sonography *2 Real-time tissue elastography

Diagnostic Ultrasound SystemsLarge volumes of samples are handled at large-scale hospitals and clinical examination centers, and these must be received quickly, progressing from examination/results confirmation to reporting/requesting work without delay, as well as guaranteeing the quality of examinations. Optimization of management tasks is another issue, requiring systems that can enable uniform management of all examination work. Hitachi's “Lavolute 8” clinical examination system for medical institutions supports optimization of reporting to medical examination departments by automating the processing of examination data from high-speed examination devices that are able to process large volumes of data. It also features various data check functions and precision management functions, etc. to safely manage examination data with peace of mind. Furthermore, this system looks to a future of data-integrated management with functions for cooperation between locations and online results transmission, as well as beneficial use of examination data between group hospitals and examination center-related facilities, etc., and can expected to be put to use in community healthcare cooperation, etc.

Clinical Examination Information Systems

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE CONTROL SYSTEM

WATER ENVIRONMENT SYSTEMS FIELD

Hitachi has been involved for nearly a century in the provision of water industry solutions based on advanced technology and product reliability.As the world views the depletion of water resources and deterioration of the quality of the water environment a problem, we continue to contribute to solving these issues by fusing water circulation systems and information control technology. Fusing long-cultivated system technology and elemental technologies such as electrical equipment, instrumentation and control equipment, monitoring and data processing and with knowledge of water treatment processing to provide Japanese and overseas water sewage vendors a solution that enables a "safe and delicious water supply" and "formation of a healthy water environment.”

Business Activities


Hitachi's commitment to the water business has a history of more than 100 years in a wide range of fields such as water resource conservation, tap water, sewerage, rainwater, waste water and water reclamation. Since its establishment, the entire Hitachi Group has developed and delivered products and systems under the corporate credo, “contribute to society through the development of superior, original technology and products "that are reliable, stable and safe in supporting the lifelines to society. Our extensive experience in delivery of monitoring control systems at the heart of sewerage now stands at

approximately 2,100 systems. The track record and wealth of experience Hitachi gained with customers and experiences allows us to propose different solutions that fuse information and control with highly reliable, stable systems to meet the needs of our customers. This ensures safety and peace of mind, so we can realize a sustainable living environment as we provide solutions that suit the characteristics and needs of each region with a robust water environment and strong base of operations.

Water supply and sewage

Hitachi proposes, designs and manufactures system to meet the needs of our customers, and work consistently through delivery and beyond to local commissioning. At the core is the AQUAMAX monitoring control system, a seamless (on/offsite connected to information systems) operations support HMI with scalable architecture and the high reliability and flexibility that allow phased expansion and partial updates.

Monitoring control system (AQUAMAX)

A balanced, stable supply of water is important to counter demand fluctuations in water supply projects. In addition to a stable supply, industry also wants to reduce energy consumption of the intake and water pumps, so that a stable supply can coexist with energy savings. Water use planning technologies forecast demand from temperature, weather and days of the week, in a system that proposes operational plans such as water intake and pumping.

Water supply operation technology

We created a model of nitrification and denitrification reactions in the activated sludge process of sewage treatment plants embedded as software to allow real-time control. Nitrification control that takes into consideration ammonia concentration target values at the intermediate point in ammonia processing allows the process to be stabilized and to suppress over-aeration and under-aeration so that water quality is maintained and the power consumption of the blower can be reduced.

Water treatment control technology

Aging water facilities, the lack of human resources and other issues challenge us to provide operation and management support systems that leverage OT and IT cultivated over many years at Hitachi to support a safe, secure and sustainable water supply. We collect operating data and maintenance data from multiple facilities distributed across a wide area to use water quality and water flow simulations, statistical processing to support operation management and maintenance tasks at these facilities.

Its DNA has been inherited by our hardware configured with the global standard power device IGBT, and is currently used by customers all around the world. Our lineup covers a wide range of capacities, from 8 kVA to 44,000 kVA, and is a drive system which can drive everything from motors of the main rolling mill to motors for auxiliary machinery. The systems consist of converters and inverters, and the converters use sine-wave PWM control to achieve reduced harmonics and a power factor at source close to 1.0. The inverter has at is core vector control, which drives the motor at variable speeds, and incorporates various control technologies based on a wide range of control theories from the classical to the modern, including state feedback control (torsional vibration suppression control), feedforward control (speed uniformity control), and load torque estimation control (impact drop compensation control). Furthermore, in recent years, we have implemented a function which conducts predictive failure diagnosis by collecting and analyzing data inside the system, and have been focusing on successfully developing IoT solutions using edge computing. We will continue to develop motor drive systems with high functionality, high performance and high reliability in order to continue contributing to increasing our customers’ value.

The question, “How can we improve productivity?" is a common challenge in the field of industry. The fact is that high-mix low-volume production in the manufacturing sector relies on human intervention to perform many tasks, which makes it difficult to ensure high productivity. On the other hand, changes such as diversification of customer needs,　technological innovation, and globalization in the environment surrounding the manufacturing industry have prompted demand for a productivity at the level of that for mass production even in high-mix low-volume production (which led to demand for mass customization). Hitachi delivers high-mix low-volume production at the company's manufacturing sites by using IoT to optimize overall production and improve quality by acquiring a wide variety of data and making it transparent, analyzing it and using the results to plan improvements. The goal is to resolve similar issues facing our customers in the manufacturing industry, such as how to introduce mass customization, with solutions proven in-house at Hitachi.

Big data accumulated and collected from sensors installed at the manufacturing site is leveraged to diagnose indications of equipment failure. To improve efficiency of the traditional human work that had to be done, we are working on the optimal automatic control that combines artificial intelligence and robotics. We are combining these cutting-edge technologies with operational technology (OT) cultivated from years of experience to dig deeper in the form of meeting customer needs more completely in issue resolution.

Hitachi has established a high efficiency production model that leverages the IoT for the purpose of improving productivity at manufacturing sites to significantly reduce production lead time. Providing site operation/digitalization expertise like this to our customers helps them build a production system that makes the most of existing resources such as people, goods and facilities.

In recent years, the manufacturing sector required that mass customization systems be deployed to manufacture in a way that meets the diverse needs of its customers.Efficiency of design is essential in customized production that completes the design process in a limited period of time from receipt of an order. Hitachi develops next-generation design methods that combine the latest CAE, design automation and simulation technology to solve the challenges of mass customization requiring precise design in a short period of time. Further, Hitachi offers total solutions to solve the challenges of our manufacturing industry customers by fully leveraging the expertise of customized production we gained from experience at our own factories.

Steel has long been a starting point of industry, and as the quality of steel material manufactured has improved in lockstep with the development of industry, Hitachi has been developing the advanced control technologies such improved steel production demands. By the urgent evolution of the IoT technology, we can process a large quantity of data now. In addition, deterioration of customer’s facility and retirement of skilled workers have progressed, and the need for facility stable operation is getting bigger. The environment surrounding the industry greatly changes.We are still developing, designing, improving and providing even more sophisticated control systems, by combining Hitachi's experience in advanced information technologies with IoT and big data and applying them to operation support systems, maintenance support systems and remote maintenance systems.

Signature Technologies (Mission-Critical Components)

Offering reliable components and solution systems to support social infrastructure. We design and develop the core components (hardware and software) used in social infrastructure such as electricity and railways. Hitachi offers consistent Monozukuri in our plants, from CAD/CAM that supports design, manufacturing and quality assurance to the IT systems that optimize these processes to meet the demands of a social infrastructure

system with high reliability and the toughness required to run 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. Leveraged with state-of-the-art technologies, our work includes products from components to complete systems, including the fault tolerant systems in which components are embedded and wireless application systems.

We develop control servers for social infrastructure such as electric power and railways. We develop platforms that support social infrastructure by actively incorporating the latest open technologies and developing products that have high reliability and availability that are essential for information control systems. Our in-house development covers not only hardware such as CPU boards, LAN boards and enclosures, but also software designed for high availability and easy maintenance. We also develop fault-tolerant systems where higher operational continuity is required. The CPU used in the system is multiplexed and the control of the CPU is synchronized at the operating system level, enabling high reliability and easy maintenance of the system.

New needs that place emphasis on the local site are emerging in the area of social infrastructure systems that require high reliability and availability, such as the provision of various services that are closely tied to the local site and the use of site information.In order to respond to these needs, on-site intelligence is indispensable. On sites with difficult environmental conditions and a lack of installation space, there is a need for electronic and information equipment that meet the various communication standards and can process site information to be stably operated over a long period of time. In contrast, embedded computers are fanless and HDD-less, thereby requiring less maintenance and improving earthquake resistance, and are widely used for network monitoring, physical security and on-vehicle information display systems.

The platforms for infrastructure systems such as those used for electric power and railways need to be able to remain in service for long periods of time, delivering continuous 24- hour/365-day operation with realtime performance. We develop control server OSs that are based on the open source Linux OS and designed for greater reliability, availability, and ease of- maintenance, and also network middleware that supports autonomous distributed systems.

Digital solutions that improve inspections, maintenance and repairs of social infrastructure and industrial machinery


DIGITAL SOLUTION & CONTROL PLATFORM FIELD

Hitachi provides highly reliable mission-critical components that support the social infrastructure.

Hitachi provides digital solutions that utilize security, sensing and data analytics.

We develop the core components (including servers, networks, controllers, OSs, and middleware) for social infrastructure systems such as those for electric power and railways. Because social infrastructure systems demand high reliability for 24-hour/365-day operation, we have implemented a comprehensive "MONOZUKURI" system at our plants that encompasses design, manufacturing, production engineering, and quality assurance

We provide digital solutions that securely collect and visualize various on-site information (Sense), analyze and discover issues (Think), and improve countermeasures (Act) to help our customers solve management issues.

We develop a range of programmable controllers suitable for controlling different types of system (feedback control or sequence control), ranging from power plants and other large facilities to smaller systems such as those for production lines or water supply and sewage. These controllers support IEC-compliant development tools (programming languages) such as ladder logic, FBD, and SFC, and are supplied throughout the world.

The target of cyber-attacks have shifted to control systems that are used to control plants and infrastructure, and security measures have become fundamental activities for the operation of control systems. Operation of control systems require different types of know-how for each customer, and the appropriate security measures that take advantage of each customer’s characteristics are required. In order to respond flexibly to such needs, we design and develop products for identification, defense, detection, response and recovery with a focus on the security of networks, servers and clients such as vulnerability visualization, unauthorized access detection, and the detection and blocking of unauthorized terminals and devices.

In recent years, industrial machines and robots in the industrial and distribution fields have become harder to repair due to the increase in number of parts, their increasingly complex structures and the level of expertise required. Hitachi has developed the Repair Recommendation (RR) technology that automatically recommends the optimal repair work, and is currently promoting its commercialization as one of the M&R (Maintenance & Repair) solutions. We are developing solutions in new areas using the latest technologies such as rapid construction of analysis models using AI technologies such as Deep Learning and SVM.

We develop the open and reliable μΣ NETWORK-1000 control network, which incorporates our own techniques for enhanced reliability and is based on Ethernet(*), an international standard. It allows communications for control applications that require realtime performance and high reliability to coexist with general- purpose TCP/IP communications for IT applications. The network is used both in Japan and in a wide range of social infrastructure systems around the world, including those for power generation, steelmaking, general industry, water and sewage, and railways.(*)Ethernet is a registered trademark of Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.

There are many social infrastructure facilities that require daily manual inspections, such as power stations, railways and steel structures. These facilities face issues such as increased risk of failures due to long-term operation and shortage of inspectors due to the aging population. In order to solve these issues, we are developing advanced sensing systems that utilize our unique ultra-efficient AI recognition technologies (CNN, DNN, GMM, etc.) to replace the five human senses such as sight and hearing.

For monitoring and controlling plant operations, the control system must easily understand the entire situation of the plant, operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without stopping, and be easily renewed for expansion, addition and maintenance according to the production situation. We develop and design comprehensive monitoring control software to respond to such requirements. This software is currently used in service water and sewage treatment plants, for gas production and services, chemical products production, food processing, pharmaceutical production and in steel plants.

Digital solutions that optimize operation and improve manufacturing quality by analyzing a wide variety of data generated at plants and manufacturing sites are currently garnering much attention. We develop data management infrastructures that support the centralized management, modeling and preprocessing of data necessary for this form of data analysis.

In response to the decline in working population due to the declining birthrate and aging population, human labor substitution through the application of new autonomous robot technology has begun.

MONOZUKURI: “module design and production” accommodating high-mix, low-volume, made-to-order products

Design and production systems driven with digital technologies

Digitizing accumulating “design knowledge” and “manufacturing techniques” and “researching technologies” to utilize them

・The production method that we have independently developed to provide our customers with the end product, control panels, at a high cost performance is “module design/production”.

・In this method, the modules of standardized hardware designs (enclosures and units)　are combined and selected in the hardware design stage, which organically links the product with information.

・Then, that information is comprehensively transmitted to the manufacturing processes downstream to achieve MONOZUKURI (manufacturing with craftsmanship) with minimal variation.

・In order to continue to meet the demands of changing markets and of our customers, we will continue to work to develop high-level production systems and to increase the design and production capabilities of these modules.

● Production management systemThis is a management system that makes the optimum production plan according to production process that fluctuate daily. It lists production losses and bottleneck processes and diagnoses and optimizes production using simulations.

We are developing knowledge base engineering (KBE) that digitizes knowledge and skills of hard design, manufacturing and production management accumulated for about 50 years, and fully utilizes from upstream to downstream. With this digitization, we are working on improving

manufacturing and personnel fostering capabilities with “steady inheritance of manufacturing technology which we have to convey” and “the new awareness (creation) led from enormous past data”.

● Modular production systemWe have a modular production system consisting of three modules: the printed board assembly module and housing and the unit thin plate working module, which constitute the control panel, and the assembly/electric wiring module for implementing them.We monitor and manage the products (things) created using these production systems and the processes with about 80,000 RFID tags, and we can work and improve the quality based on actual data.Also, we are making advancements while incorporating these systems in the technological development and swift operation in anticipation of future eras in: the utilization of sensing technology such as advanced cameras, the adoption of lead-free materials and ecological materials in response to elevated environmental regulations, and the handling of automated technologies such as advanced robots.

● Module design support systemThis system combines CAD for mechanical systems and electrical systems to support module design selection with flexible functionality at a high efficiency. This CAD information is linked with work displays (viewers) at sites in order to optimize the electric wiring order and assembly order of components.

Collaborative IP ActivityIn a business where collaborations with customers and partners occur frequently and new solutions are created,

collaborative IP activity is important. Hitachi secures IP around core technologies and solutions, utilizes it to promote partnership and establish new eco-system, and supports contracting with customers and partners.

IPD views solution inventions and IoT platform related inventions as drivers of developing solutions and sets them as focused areas of inventions. In corporation with business planning and marketing divisions where solution is created, IPD develops new measures to strengthen those solution areas.

Usage and ownership condition of the IP created in collaboration with customers is also important. For example, in a collaborating project using AI, it is necessary to negotiate with the customer about the derivatives, flexibly deciding the contracting conditions. IPD is involved in 200 to 300 cases annually, negotiates contracting condition, respects customerʼs proprietaries to establish Win-Win relationship.

IP discussed above includes not only patent, design, trademark, copyright and other IP rights, but also trade secrets, information and data. For example, IP involved with Big data analysis includes customerʼs original raw data (proprietaries), processing knowhow and intermediate data, and derived solution, invention and software. In the past, IPD used to focus mainly on the IP rights, however, with the expansion of scope of IP with development of IoT technology, the role expected of IPD is also expanding.

Competitive IP ActivityIn a business where Hitachi sells equipment and systems

superior in technology, IP mainly focuses on the competing side, in which IP is used to strengthen the competitiveness of those products. Patents and other rights are acquired to protect those differentiating technologies, to obstruct competitors from entering markets, and to lower the risks posed by competitorsʼ patents to Hitachiʼs businesses.

IPD strengthens business competitiveness through formulation and execution of “IP Master Plans”. The process of “IP Master Plans” are as follows.

(1)Understand business plans and set the goal of IP based on the expected role of IP.(2)Set milestones for IP activity synchronously with the business for its timely execution.(3)Run PDCA(Plan,Do,Check,Act) together with the business side.

These activities have led Hitachi to receive National Invention Award for last three consecutive years, of which 2 are the highest honor, the Imperial Invention Prize, and Clarivate Analytics' Derwent TOP100 Global Innovator for 8 consecutive years.

Competitive and Collaborative IP ActivitiesIP is one aspect of business strategy, and an IP strategy is expected to present ways to make

use of IP in achieving the corporate vision and missions. IPD accelerates both the competitive and collaborative IP utilization depending on the nature of the business.

With a declining birthrate and an aging population, the number of elderly citizens who live by themselves has increased, and one worry of households with children is that the parents don’t always know what is happening with their parents. To that end, we have developed "Doshiteiru", a new service that allows users to check the presence and activity of their elderly relatives living in a different area, at any time with a smartphone. An activity sensor is installed on the wall of the room of the elderly relative to detect their presence and activity level at a high rate of once per minute, and then stores this information in a server via a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) router. This allows relatives living in a different place to check the status of their elderly relatives at any time using a specialized smartphone application. It detects high amounts and low amounts of activity. For example, a walking avatar is displayed for a “high” amount of activity, such as walking around the room, and a sitting avatar is displayed for a “low” amount of activity, such as watching TV while sitting on the sofa, allowing the user to ascertain the activity level at a quick glance. We have developed a system that gives consideration to user privacy, by not using any images, that brings families closer to their elderly relatives who live by themselves.

Changes in social structures, such as increases in the number of dual-income families and the aging of the population, have diversified lifestyles in society. Also, the results of a survey conducted by our company showed various trends, such as “an increase in storage of frozen foods particularly among households with children” and “an increase in the storage of vegetables with age”. In response, we are offering “Perfect Selection”, which allows our customers to choose methods of use that suit their lives. Customers can freely select the layout of this product to suit their lives. For example, they can choose if they want to use the two drawers at the bottom of the refrigerator to store either frozen foods, refrigerated foods, or vegetables. Busy dual-income households that use a lot of frozen foods can use both drawers for frozen foods, and households that eat a lot of vegetables can use the upper level for vegetables, for easier access. Also, customers can configure the Perfect Selection to control the cooler, the flap of the cooling air duct, and the high-volume fan. When “Freeze” is set, cooling is performed up to the freezing temperature by directly inserting a large amount of cold air into the container. When “Refrigerate” for storing refrigerated foods and vegetables is set, heat transfer from the cooler is utilized to decrease the temperature inside the container, it utilizes technologies that help reduce energy consumption by achieving a temperature for refrigeration while suppressing the inflow of cold air.

POWER ELECTRONICS FIELD

By supplying power electronic products to use energy efficiently, we are helping to create a sustainable society in all fields.Power electronics is an essential technology for reducing CO2 emissions and using energy efficiently, and products using power electronics are widely used as key components for a sustainable society in every field.We develop and provide cutting-edge technology in a wide range of fields, such as UPS (uninterruptible power supply), that supply stable power to various important equipment operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, industrial equipment including large-scale fans, pumps, and compressors, motor drive inverters for electric driving of ultra-large dump trucks used in mines, and system interconnection inverters for smart grid, electrical storage systems, and renewable energy generation. We are developing products by making free use of a wide range of technologies - including semiconductor device application technology, high-voltage insulation technology, electric power systems, heat transfer, materials and all kinds of simulations, etc. - for a wide range of issues such as handling of high voltages/large electric power, items requiring advanced control technology supporting behavior of electric power systems, and new technology like storage battery systems, etc. We will also develop and provide products/systems supporting society in terms of making beneficial use of energy, such as energy conservation and expansion of the use of renewable energy.


We provide high-voltage direct inverters to directly drive high-voltage motors. High-voltage direct inverters are capable of outputting sine wave AC voltage with high conversion efficiency by means of multiple transformers and multi-stage series-connected inverters, contributing to improved equipment controllability and energy conservation.We are responding to needs for miniaturization and weight reduction by means of logical structure/equipment configuration making free use of diverse simulation technologies such as application of new materials/construction methods, electromagnetic field analysis and heat flow analysis, etc.We will continue to develop drive systems suited to user needs such as high functionality, high performance and high reliability.

Large dump trucks used in mining and other work are gradually converting to electric drive to conserve energy and power. We provide high-voltage high capacity inverters adapted to electric drive systems for electric drive dump trucks with high performance control. In addition to basic driving, we need to overcome technical challenges for implementation of the inverter unit, such as advanced motor drive control that takes control of the vehicle body into account, and capability to adapt to severe environmental conditions such as high-temperature, high altitude and high vibration as we develop products with ever more capacity that can adapt to more advanced control and new applications. The combination of the electric motor/generator and inverter provides the user higher functionality and added value.

As Japan lacks resources, it has been promoting the installation of renewable energy generation such as photovoltaic power generation systems and wind power generation systems to help mitigate global environmental issues. We provide power conditioner systems (PCS) to distribute to power systems DC power from solar panels and AC power of a frequency suited to the rotation speed of wind turbines. When increasing the amount of power introduced from renewable energy, the generated power of which changes in accord with environmental conditions, there is a great impact on the stability of the power supply. For this reason, technical demands and technology guidelines are discussed and established with the aim of ensuring compatibility, and to deal with these measures in the best way, we are developing and proposing technologies in cooperation with our laboratories, group companies overseas, and R&D institutions outside the company, thereby we are contributing to the stability of power supply and promoting the use of natural energy.

Regenerative power is generated when a train stops or decelerates. By temporarily storing the power in storage batteries that are placed in a railway substation and reusing the power for operating trains, the total amount of power consumed for train operation can be reduced.With the B-CHOP system, Hitachi's energy storage for traction power supply systems, we have achieved safe, energy-saving operation as shown by greater vehicle acceleration and improved

stopping accuracy by stabilizing the feeder voltage, improving the regenerative braking power, and absorbing excess regenerative power in secondary batteries.Additionally, B-CHOP also meets the needs of "emergency drive mode", in which a train that has stopped between stations because of a wide-area power failure due to a large-scale disaster will move to the nearest station under its own power for emergency evacuation.

This business division mainly handles large-scale pumps used in domestic public administration fields such as water treatment plants and drainage pumping stations as well as pumps for nuclear and thermal power plants. In addition, in terms of overseas deployment, we have also participated in a variety of large-scale project across the world and delivered many pumps. In the Arab Republic of Egypt, we served a core role in a large-scale project to change an area of desert into a green region, in which we undertook the basic design through to the systems engineering of the Mubarak Pumping Station, one of the world's largest, in Toshka, and also the design, manufacture and installation of the main pumps, the electrical machinery and the control systems. At a maximum rate of 334 tons per second, the station sends enough water to fill the Tokyo Dome 23 times over, every day, to irrigate the lands of Egypt, and in the surrounding areas, farmers using waters from the pumping station have started growing crops such as tomatoes, melons, onions and bell peppers.

High performance compressors are needed for the compression, transportation and circulation of the gases we use in our everyday lives. And, in recent years, we have seen an increase in demand for turbo compressors due to factors such as the depletion of underground resources, such as petroleum, and considerations for the environment. As they will be used for over 30 years, turbo compressors must be of robust design and with the demand for higher performance, these devices evolve year by year. These process compressors form the heart of petroleum refineries and natural gas plants, etc. and are currently in use throughout the world. A total exceeding 1,000 units has been delivered to destinations throughout the world. Furthermore, the majority of delivery destinations are overseas. In recent years, we have entered the FPSO market through the development of compressors that are installed on ships for the extraction of oil from Brazil's offshore oil fields.

FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) is a type of oil platform that utilizes plants installed on-board the ship to recover, store and offload resources from the sea bed such as oil or natural gas.Compressors installed in FPSOs require a variety of performance related attributes such as size reduction and vibration considerations, as well as high discharge pressure. Our compressors use the latest technologies to accommodate such requirements, and are currently involved in global FPSO projects.

Overview of Solution Business

An operation management system is required to dispatch multiple elevators efficiently in large-scale complex buildings. We have developed “FI-700”, an elevator management system for predicting human flow, which realizes efficient operation of multiple elevators. This system reduces by up to 20% (compared to the conventional models) the average waiting time at busy times such as lunchtime by predicting the number of people using elevators (human flow) from enormous past operation data utilizing AI. In addition, data can be linked with building equipment such as surveillance cameras. We aim to create innovations for movement within buildings through collaboration with customers.

Developed “FI-700” – an elevator management system for predicting human flow

Since the buildings around the world, including the Middle East and China, have been evolving in terms of height, elevators must likewise increase in speed and capacity so that many people in the building can move efficiently. We utilize the “G1TOWER”, one of the world tallest elevator research towers at 213 m, to develop and test

regarding various kind of elevators.
