Sunverge Energy,
. . . has deployed dozens of energy storage units,
. . . at geographically dispersed locations across the service territory of
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO),
. . . while managing them as a single virtual node on the grid.
The project aims to demonstrate,
.. . how centrally managed distributed resources on the Japanese electricity grid,
.. . can help ensure greater reliability,
. . . an issue that received widespread attention,
. . . following the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011.
The project, operated in cooperation with Mitsui & Co Ltd,
. . . connects multiple storage units into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP),
. . . managed by Sunverge’s energy management platform.
This in turn,
. . . provides the grid operator, with an energy control system,
. . . that can be adjusted within 15 minutes, or less,
. . . of major changes in demand.
It will demonstrate several important abilities of the system:
. . . . . . Site Demand Target,
. . . . . . Demand Charge Reduction,and
. . . . . . Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Demand Charge Reduction,
The VPP will function, as an adjustment, and supply source of the energy,
. . . addressing the demand for increased grid reliability.
VPPs are supported by the Japanese government,
. . . which wants renewables to account for at least,
. . . 20% of the country’s power generation by 2030.
“The ability to aggregate, and manage distributed energy resources, as a fleet, and
. . . combining, and managing, a logical subset, and
. . .grouping as a virtual nanogrid,
. . . is increasingly important in order to make the grid more:
. . . . . . stable,
. . . . . . resilient, and
. . . . . . dynamic.
The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry,
. . . has so far designated
. . . $59.4 million in subsidies for VPP development in fiscal years
. . . 2016 to 2017.
