A Japanese Utility Renewable Energy Management
Amin Mohammadirad, Sho Kainose, and Ken Nagasaka
Abstract—HOKKAIDO a northern island of Japan has high
potentials of Solar and Wind energies. However, HOKKAIDO
Electric Power Company (HEPCO) declares that by increasing
Renewable Energy (RE) power such as Photovoltaic and Wind
generation (hereafter PV and Wind), they cannot interconnect
to the grid because of interconnection limitation and having
surplus power in the grid. In this paper, for RE surplus power
management, we suggest two solutions. The first solution is to
convert RE surplus power to another type of energy which
divided into two different methods. First, convert RE surplus
power to 100% heat. Second, convert RE surplus power to 50%
heat, 40% hydrogen and 10% electric cars. For this purpose, we
use the Advanced Energy System Analysis Computer tool called
“EnergyPLAN” to estimate RE surplus power in HOKKAIDO
future energy system. Then, we calculate and compare the
conversation economic and environmental performances. The
second solution is to transfer RE surplus power to connected
multi-area networks. For this reason, we design load frequency
control (LFC) in smart grid model of IEEE 30 bus test system in
MATLAB/SIMULINK to give such ability to transfer power
from one area to another. Finally, we compare both solutions
economical and environment performances.
