Abstract
After the Great East Japan Earthquake, the disaster prevention around the terminal stations have become major issue. Therefore, major cities have planned the continuity of energy supply at the disaster stage for continuing business functions, also temporary shelters for the stranded persons. Although, area based disaster prevention is useful, the way of designation of area have been unclear. This paper deals with the decentralized energy system, and attempts to clarify the size and location of energy system and temporary shelters around the Kawasaki Terminal area under the cost-benefit analysis. It was found that installation of the decentralized energy system with CHP engines is useful for both disaster and ordinal days. Because of high cost of the system, grant assistance is essential at the current circumstances.
