New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization

New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization rather than just read about it. In short: The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (新エネルギー・産業技術総合開発機構), or NEDO, is Japan's largest public management organization promoting research and development as well as deployment of industrial, energy and environmental technologies. In 2003, NEDO was reorganized as an Independent Administrative Institution.

Key takeaways

New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (新エネルギー・産業技術総合開発機構), or NEDO, is Japan's largest public management organization promoting research and development as well as deployment of industrial, energy and environmental technologies. In 2003, NEDO was reorganized as an Independent Administrative Institution. NEDO has approximately 1,000 personnel and domestic offices in Hokkaido, Kansai, and Kyushu and international offices in Washington D.C., Silicon Valley (California), Paris, Beijing, Bangkok, Jakarta and New Delhi. Its budget for fiscal year 2009 was 234,700,000,000 yen (approximately $2.6 billion), the vast majority of which was provided by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). Its head office is located just outside Tokyo in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. NEDO has a number of projects in the United States, notably a smart grid and alternative energy project with two research laboratories in New Mexico, Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). In March 2010, NEDO and the laboratories signed agreements in which NEDO will fund a smart grid research facility at LANL and smart house demonstration projects in both Los Alamos and Albuquerque, New Mexico. NEDO is investing $30 million (U.S.) on the projects for a four-year period.

History October 1, 1980 - In response to the energy crises of 1973 and 1978, the New Energy and Development Organization is established under the Law Concerning the Promotion of the Development and Introduction of Alternative Energy to develop fossil fuel alternative energy technologies in order to stabilize world energy supplies and reduce Japan's dependency on imported energy sources. October 1, 1988 - Reorganized and scope of activities is expanded to include the research and development of industrial technologies. Name is changed to New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (acronym remains NEDO). October 1, 2003 NEDO becomes an Independent Administrative Institution 2005 - NEDO Pavilion at Expo 2005, shares the results of many NEDO funded and managed R&D projects, including solar photovoltaic, fuel cell and robotic technology. 2010- NEDO and Hokkaido University developed a motor using magnets which are commonly used in electronics parts to lessen the burden of utilizing rare earth minerals. On march 19th 2017 a memorandum of understanding was signed to build a large-scale hybrid battery system demonstration project in Germany. The project aims to stabilize the distribution grid, and thereby control the electric power supply and demand balance, by charging and discharging storage batteries, and to establish a new business model for electricity trading using the battery system.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization

In research: New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Energy in Japan, Energy policy in Asia, Organizations based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
