6 FAQs about [Japan smart micro grids]

Does Japan have a smart grid?

Japan has had much success with implementation of some of the core technologies necessary for microgrids, e.g. smart meters. This study investigates the interplay of smart grids and integration of renewable energy in Japan on the intersection between policy, legislation, technology and market.

Are smart grids a key element of Japan's Energy Strategy?

Chapter 2 finds that while smart grids are an important element of the Japanese energy strategy, no single legislative act is primarily dedicated to promoting smart grids as such. Instead, different strategic documents and legislative acts address different aspects.

How will the microgrid market expand in Japan?

Catch up on the already published parts of the series in the link section below. The microgrid market in Japan is expected to expand dramatically. Micro-grid design and modeling capabilities, and specialized control software to manage and balance micro-grids are required, as well as asset control software and hardware.

Why should Japan invest in microgrids?

In addition, Japan’s energy policy sees safety as one of the primary objectives since the Fukushima disaster of 2011. One approach is to improve resilience against disruptions. Here, microgrids as the technological foundation for smart communities play an important role.

Could DC microgrids be a feature of smart energy grids?

With the price falling for both rooftop solar and high-capacity lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, DC microgrids — with a second socket for DC devices — could become a feature of future smart energy grids.

How will Japan improve the reliability of the grid system?

The Japanese government is aiming to increase the reliability of the grid system by introducing sensor networks and to reduce losses by introducing smart meters. The introduction of the smart grid will promote the use of renewable energy by introducing a demand response system.
