12 Case Ⅱ Kitakyushu: Case study of the CEMS ( Fuji Electricetc Co., LTD.) p 11 "Cogeneration power plant" and Regional power saving station" are established in a specific supply area, and a verification experiment with an actual charge base is developed. The role of Regional power saving station: To manage the overall energy services in the area, such as electricity, heat, and water. To provide the low electric charges by controlling the storage battery of the houses or community according to the supply demand situation in the area. Image of Regional power saving station Electric power system (Grid) Regional power saving station Energy saving (Target 50%) : about 52% achievement Carbon dioxide emissions reduction (Target 20%) : about 40% achievement 2014 records compared to 2005 Yahata-higashida area Prediction of Specific supply area the area demand Yahata-higashida area (about 120 hectare = 297 acre ) Shimonoseki-City Cogeneration power plant (33MW) CEMS Total demand 21MW FC power generation Hydrogen Regional power saving station Kitakyushu-City Fukuoka-city Wind power generation HEMS BEMS Heat supply FEMS Solar heat Earth thermal for community (300kW) General household (230 houses) Factory, Hospital and Retail store, etc. (70 offices) Source of photo: City Portal of New Energy Promotion Council Japan.

13 Case Ⅱ The basic specification of the verification experiment of the using EMS p 12 :Demand Response The type of energy management : After visualizing the electric amount of consumption, mainly, it's classified into 2 types, the indirect control system which controls person's behavior" and "the direct mechanical control system by which a machine controls itself". The storage charge is a common indispensable item of each sector as a coordinating role of target achievement and demand fluctuation by PV. Basic specification Type of energy management Sector meter Visualization of electricity consumption For manager For consumers Renewable Energy (PV, etc.) Prediction of the demand (EMS) Recommend of the Indirect control Home display PC or phone, etc.. Incentive pay Storage battery Direct control Heat source equipment Load control Charge infrastructure Other Shortening of the time CEMS HEMS BEMS FEMS EVC - - Remarks There are measurement methods with CT and the tap. The effect is limited. Introduce energy saving equipment and gas equipment. Expansion of the heat supply. etc.. Prior steps for managing electricity demand Visualization of electricity consumption ( Confirmation of results ) Acceptance of the renewable energy Prediction of the demand (Setting of the target) Recommendation of to recommend 1 day before. to recommend before time. Control person's behavior + Control machines + Control time

14 The consideration of issues based on 4 area verification projects p 13 Sector Issues Expected domains in future Community (or Area) Household Business and Industrial Transportation PPS : Power Producer and Supplier How to secure funds for the incentive payment. Development of the capacity market and PPS market. Expansion of the equipment and sector for the service. How to secure funds for the incentive payment. Expansion of the household appliance and equipment for the service. Durability of energy saving behavior and visualization effect. How to secure funds for the incentive payment. Improvement of the precision of the demand prediction technology (Avoid imbalance). Introduction of EMS based on cost-effectiveness (Development of the local implementation type and the cloud type depending on a building scale). How to secure funds for the incentive payment. Expansion of the equipment for the service. The spread of next-generation cars. The spread of energy filling stations. The spread of traffic management systems (TMS). Energy aggregator business. Application of CEMS as a method to reinvigorate local economy. e.g. Service to promote purchasing will of consumers and change their actions. Develop mechanism for surplus electric power generated from PV within a home. e.g. Dissemination of HEMS, PV, as a set. Harmonize between energy and services and closely link with daily life. e.g. Management of health and medical care, crime prevention, and the distribution network. Business of the negative watt in the electric market. e.g. Spread of Cloud based BEMS. Energy saving as the whole energy system. e.g. Adaptation of the electricity and heat supply as a set in wider area. Expansion of the visualization of the gas demand and the service. Promotion business of EV charging using surplus electricity generated by PV. Preparation for the dissemination of TMS. e.g. Establish a dissemination framework including the cooperation with the traffic authorities. It is a common issue to secure funds for the incentive pay. It's the biggest issue to seek a method of incorporating such a mechanism in the society. This is a more significant issue than a technical issue.

15 Challenge for the spread of a smart community p 14 Needs for a smart community Affordable electricity rate Flexible energy usage within an area Local production for local consumption of energy Improvement of the local value Measures for disaster prevention Resilience Measures for environment City planning Value-added service Compact city Regional economy revitalization Improvement of administrative service etc. Internet of Things (IOT) Ripple effect in the area Satisfaction Judgment 3E+S Benefit Cost It s necessary to judge overall based on the cost benefit and an additional value. Regional attractiveness Comfort Quality of life (QOL) 3E+S : Energy Security, Economic Efficiency, Environment and Safety etc.
