Outline of Final Research Achievements

Energy Demand Model of household in rural area was formulated. Then, areas where demands can be self-sufficient with renewable energy resources in the area were identified referring the Model and renewable energy development planning. In addition, we examined the possibility of energy self-sufficient type livestock barn with biogas power generation facilities and clarified a feasibility of barn construction and operations. Furthermore, a possibility and availability of Demand Response (DR) were studied based on questionnaire survey, through development of estimation model of DR acceptance rate and an approach to grasp a possibility of reducible quantity. Applying the model and the approach, we clarified DR was an effective option for decentralized power system planning and design.
Referring these study results, the framework of Independent Energy System, possible direction of effective renewable energy resources use and energy re-localization in rural areas was indicated.
