Energy storages are to play important roles for IoT, robots, etc. applied to “Society
5.0.” On the other hand, a vast amount of small batteries is under deployment in developing
countries to store electricity generated by small photovoltaic power generation systems, which
would essentially contribute to solving the global energy issues. In this manuscript, we propose
the “Virtual Grid” as an energy platform for both Society 5.0 and developing countries, where
appliances and batteries are managed via networks, and electricity is synthesized and distributed
to appliances for satisfying their demands.
