Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation

Wind and solar power generation require technologies for stable power supply because both powers fluctuate greatly depending on the weather or time of day.
Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation has developed a technology that enables wind and solar power generation to be treated as a single virtual power plant (VPP) by controlling them along with rechargeable batteries and balancing power demand and supply. This technology will promote the installation of wind and solar power generation.
Renewable energy has increased in Japan under the feed-in tariff (FIT) scheme. However, in anticipation of renewable energy becoming the main power, it has shifted to feed-in premium (FIP, a scheme in which a certain premium is paid to power generation operators when they sell power at the market price). Under the FIP, it is imposed for renewable energy operators to match the power supply with the demand based on precise power generation forecast. Therefore, operators need to improve the prediction accuracy of power generated by their own equipment.
Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation has launched a renewable energy aggregation service as a support service for renewable energy power generation operators. Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation is operating to match the power supply with the demand as well as to trading power.
While helping to spread renewable energy for the achievement of a carbon neutral society, Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation will contribute to achieving stable and efficient power systems.
