Outline

The main purpose of this research project is to develop system theory of the next generation power system control that provides harmonized power supply under a large penetration of photovoltaic (PV) power systems. More specifically, this project aims to develop a power system control method fully exploiting PV/demand power prediction as well as focusing on functions and properties of a mid-layer consisting of various kinds of power aggregators such as demand-response aggregators,electricity-trading balancing groups, and cooperative electric power converters in addition to supply and demand sides, from the five viewpoints of PV power prediction, supply and demand control, consumer-side control, control of power transmission and distribution systems, and basic systems theory.
