AboutAbout the lab
Forecasting Japan's future energy system.
The Bando Lab studies demand response, in which equipment on the electricity-consuming side helps keep power demand and supply in balance.
The output of solar and wind power is hard to forecast, so as more of it is installed, the power grid as a whole needs more elements that can maintain balance than it has today.
The lab investigates overseas cases of demand response and evaluates its technical potential and economic feasibility if used in Japan.
The lab is a collaborative chair of the Department of Advanced Energy, run in partnership with the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry, a general incorporated foundation.
Key terms
- Demand response
- An approach in which electricity users change how they use power in order to help keep power demand and supply in balance
- Power grid
- The entire system that delivers electricity from power plants through transmission lines and substations to homes and factories
- Renewable energy
- Energy obtained from natural sources that are not depleted by use, such as sunlight and wind
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies mechanisms that keep demand and supply in balance in the power grid when large amounts of renewable energy are introduced. It evaluates demand response, the adjustment of supply and demand through equipment on the electricity-consuming side, from both technical and economic perspectives.
