Outline

Our project aims to reduce fluctuation of e-power flows in the community by cooperation among autonomous demand-side e-power management systems at homes/offices/factories, that we call “community nano-grid”. Concretely, our project focuses on three technical problems; (1) constructing the demand-side smart energy management system and their cooperation system,(2) developing demand-supply matching algorithms for leveling and stabilize e-power flows in the community, (3) estimation and control the bi-directional physical e-power flows. We verify our scheme in the small scale community demonstration fields and large scale community simulator.
