AN EVALUATIONAPPROACH FOR REGIONALENERGYSYSTEM PLANNING CONSIDERING LONG TERM LAND USE TRANSITION SCENARIOS

Abstract

 Under the pressure of exacerbating energy supply condition, effective use of regional original energy source, such as excess energy or renewable energy, has become an important issue. In this study, in order to identify the best available regional energy policy in long-term, we establish a quantitative evaluation approach to address the impact of designed energy policy considering energy consumer's location pattern.
 We conducted an effective energy system planning of using exhaust heat from local thermal power plants in the case of Shinchi-machi, where is one of the affected areas by the east Japan great earthquake. Furthermore, we evaluated the possibility of energy collective industry location, such as plant factory, to the tsunami flood area where has had no suitable land use pattern yet. Finally we discussed the directivity of land use and industrial invitation policy based on a comparison with present urban structure.
