FIT Lecture Hall, Tsinghua University
Demand Side Applications in Smart Grid System Architecture
Chair: Hiroaki Nishi, Keio University, Japan
Abstract
Firstly, current status around Smart Grid in Japan is introduced and Smart Community Alliance Japan
(JSCA), the biggest and government driven alliance is explained. Next, cluster energy management system
(CEMS) is explained. CEMS is a unit of smart grid which considers commmunity area and is a prime
model of management, infrastructure, sharing and other elements of energy concerns. As a practical experiment,
Nagasaki EV&ITS project conducted by Nagasaki local government, Keio University and 460
companies are explained. In this project 130 EV and associated infrastructure including EV quick charger,
DSRC communication environment and specially designed car navigation system are intensively introduced
in a small island. We implemented a building energy management system with EV environment
in Goto port terminal as a smart island project of Nagasaki EV&ITS project. CO2 emission elimination,
electric power regulation, and other practical results are shown by using these experimental environments.
Actually, vehicle to grid (V2G), HVAC control under considering environmental affinity, behavior and task
management by using RFID and other ICT based management systems are shown. All results are led by
using real environment. These technologies become the key components to construct smart grid.
There are many proposals about an area of smart grid. Mainly, these proposals are discussing from
supply side and most of all was accomplished only by simulation of grids / information infrastructure /
market. Namely, practical experiment or system design was not discussed. We would like to show the
system architecture concerning smart grid from the view point of demand side, and to give a practical
results acquired by using real experimental environment.
