"Waseda University Smart Social Technology Fusion Research Organization (ACROSS)" is a publicly solicited "Technology Research and Development Project for Power System Output Fluctuations / Renewable Energy" on June 2016, 6 by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Announced that it was adopted as a consignment company for "advanced interconnection expansion measures".

 This business responds to the operational review of the feed-in tariff system for renewable energy, and is a remote output control system mainly for solar power generation, and remote output control that makes the amount of output control between renewable energy companies fair. The purpose is to develop a method and aim to further expand the interconnection of renewable energy.It is scheduled to be held for three years from June 7 to February 2016 with seven corporations such as the University of Tokyo and Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.

 Specifically, it is a device for grasping the power generation output of photovoltaic power generation facilities distributed in the area such as the central power supply command center of an electric power company, and based on this, and a management system for power generation output. To build.A power conditioner (PCS) with an output control function is installed in the power generation company connected to the power system to verify the effectiveness of both bidirectional and one-way communication methods, as well as energy management systems and energy storage. We will also develop and demonstrate a receiving control method based on interlocking, etc., and develop advanced PCS functions equipped with self-end control functions.

 Waseda University plans to collaborate with related organizations to conduct research and development in the fields of verification of output control systems using two-way communication methods, interlocking with energy management systems, and advanced PCS functions.Through this project, the government will work toward achieving the government's goal of "accelerating the introduction of renewable energy to the maximum extent possible."
