The Potential for Distributed Generation in Japanese Prototype Buildings: A DER-CAM Analysis of Policy, Tariff Design, Building Energy Use, and Technology Development

Abstract

This effort represents a first application of methods and tools developed to chart a path that can lead us to a robust distribution power system. While these tools have been crafted in the US, the paradigm shift that is reinventing power systems is global, and with this effort the first step is taken towards applying skills developed here internationally.
