Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we aimed at constructing a power system capable of long-term and stable operation while coordinating distributed power sources as well as existing power sources. We implemented LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) on renewable energy generation facilities and quantified the environmental impact. In designing the incentive system, we focused on the household sector, which is lagging behind in terms of energy conservation, and utilize HEMS data to specify the actual consumption of energy by lifestyle. We obtained some outcomes regarding energy saving incentives of electric power consumers by using the methods of experimental economics.
Our future tasks in designing the virtual power trading market concern changes in lifestyle in which each market brings important issues.
