What is a smart grid? Roughly speaking, that is, the power of data collection and analysis can be achieved at the same time to build the best power control network. The idea stems from how the solar power and wind power and other renewable energy sources into the consciousness of power system problems. Solar power and wind power generation entirely left to nature, it is very difficult to deal with power. System control is also difficult for many.
The previous discussion is just around the smart grid concept. Now, especially in the United States, on its prospects are hot topic of discussion. The new grid built to the same network like the Internet and create new services. Of course, in order to achieve the actions taken by the service even more significant. Therefore, the recent including a discussion of services, including around the smart grid will have a lot of action.
As the smart grid of heat in the United States, “Japan’s power but also the completion of smart grid” talk began to increase. It seems from the Japanese sense of crisis, fear of the development of the United States made the Japanese behind.
And now in distress in the power business plays a key role in the power company. Because of the power company, to support such a smart grid will make the power companies to fall into a dilemma situation.
One of the difficulties is the import of renewable energy. The power companies, which will undoubtedly add to the burden of investment in equipment.
Japan’s goal is to import solar power by 2020 28 million kW, 2030 reached 53 million kW. 53 million kW higher than the existing nuclear power capacity in Japan is a very large number.
Furthermore, Japan plans to set up solar cells in the majority of the family. If you set up in every home solar cells, power companies must be controlled generating capacity. In other words, from the power company’s point of view, despite the enormous factor of disturbance, still robust power system control.
Nevertheless, the power companies still need to build into renewable energy power systems. Because no matter from the global trend of energy policy or state proceeding, IBM ThinkPad T40 batteryattach importance to the public nature of the power companies have to accept some degree of green energy.
Even greater difficulties than this is the concept of smart grid stressed optimize the power consumption. The so-called optimization, in other words, is to try to reduce demand for electricity. In this way, profit from the business standpoint, companies basically will not be hands above their heads welcomed the smart grid.
From the realistic point of view, if the power companies do not take action, such as smart grid is likely to turn into a pipe dream. If power companies are reluctant construction, the progress will not be smooth.
So how to solve the difficulties? It seems not a perfect solution, the root of the difficulties lies in the current energy system is more energy companies to use more money. And if able to do more to reduce energy consumption, if more money is estimated that the power companies would be willing to do the relevant business. There is likewise CO2 emissions trading systems. However, the problem is that such systems are not favorable to Japan.
