Outline

It is an urgent and important issue to realize stable electric power supply under the condition of large penetration of renewable energy source such as rooftop photovoltaic cells or wind turbine and so on. In this study, to realize stable and high quality electric power supply even in case of large-scale penetration of unpredictable renewable energy source, it will be studied novel applications of secondary batteries and pumped hydro generation systems, and control methods of loads (heat pump system, electric vehicle …) without lack of user’s convenience. Proposed models and methods will be tested by use of the digital full scale east Japanese power grid simulator where actual operation and control schemes are installed.
