Abstract
Under the Paris Agreement, Japan promises reducing 26 % from greenhouse gas emissions in 2013 by 2030. We have proposed a concept of Cluster Energy Management System, CEMS, which can design a highly saving-energy network based on demand simulation of communities consisting various different residents. As an example of CEMS designing a good thermal and electricity demand-balance among a network of residential houses, commercial and nursing facilities is introduced. The network can use almost whole exhaust heat from distributed power plant such as fuel cell with solar power and thermal utilization. We can simulated saving about 40 % in prime-energy consumption and about 45 % reduction of CO2 emission by designing an example case of the CEMS, which combines fuel cells and electric vehicles in a community, where 200 families including elderly people are living. We concluded that it would be possible to reduce primary energy consumption and CO2 emission by nearly a half amount or more by introducing the CEMS.
