EVALUATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF DISTRIBUTED ENERGY BASE FOR URBAN DISASTER AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the potential of the installation of distributed power generators toward emergency response and energy conservation in the Tokyo area. In this regard, we first selected the facilities installed with Co-generation system (CGS), such as government administration offices, medical facilities, head offices of private companies, and railway stations, which are the most essential places to be functioning immediately after a disaster, thus requiring the most power at this time. Then, we selected the high-density area and planned to install CGS in the above-mentioned buildings. The results of this study indicated the effects of the installation of CGS on both disaster management and low-carbon city planning.
