On December 12th, Chofu City, Tokyo, the University of Electro-Communications, NTT East Tokyo Musashino Branch, and NTTe-Sports held an e-sports experience event using portable solar power generation modules at Shibasaki Aya Station in Shibasaki, Chofu City. to hold.
According to NTT East, the event will take place from 3:4 to 6:10 p.m. Plans include one-on-one rhythm game competition for about 1 to 1 participants and an exhibition of solar power generation modules developed by Chofu City and the University of Electro-Communications.
The newly developed solar power generation module was developed by Specially Appointed Professor Shuji Hayase of the University of Electro-Communications i-Powered Energy System Research Center through joint research with Ushio Inc., Fujiko, and CKD, and has been made portable.Taking full advantage of the "lightweight" characteristic of cylindrical solar cells, the light and easy-to-carry screen-like structure can be hung from the windows of buildings used as e-sports venues, or fixed to the sash. It can be used in a variety of locations by temporarily installing it or using a movable assembly stand.
Furthermore, we have developed a portable system that can be used in conjunction with a battery that can be connected to the cloud via Wi-Fi to monitor power generation and power supply status from the Internet, as well as a monitoring dashboard that visualizes the status. In addition to monitoring the situation during e-sports, when using this system as an emergency power source in the event of a disaster, you can centrally check where and how much electricity is being generated and stored within the city. It can also be used as a disaster countermeasure by monitoring and preparing for emergencies by transporting batteries from areas with surplus to areas with shortage.
Chofu City is continuing to demonstrate the creation and use of energy in various locations such as e-sports venues, and believes it can also be used as an emergency power source in times of disaster.This event will not only expand citizen interaction through e-sports, but also promote the use of solar power generation modules to citizens.
