In various countries, developers are struggling to create “smart” energy systems that will allow much more efficient use of energy without wasting it. Of course, Japan could not pass by such an idea, and such a large company as Toshiba created a whole separate institution to work on the project of an effective “smart” energy system.
We have already written about such systems more than once - they allow you to combine both communications and the energy supply system as a whole. Various manufacturers offer various solutions to the problem - not so long ago there was a news on Habré that one of the companies offers to integrate special chips into household appliances to be able to remotely control such devices via the Internet.
Toshiba also proposes incorporating energy sources such as solar and wind into its smart system. Of course, initial investments are needed to obtain energy from these sources, but these investments are justified at the stage of operation of the system. In addition to economic efficiency, alternative energy can reduce emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere.
The Japanese are going to use the latest developments that will be applied in three main areas:
- the creation of effective sources of solar and wind energy;
- the creation of reliable and capacious batteries that will be able to store the stored energy for a long time;
- the use of the principle of "smart" energy systems in the automotive industry;
By 2020, the Japanese government is going to receive 28 million kilowatts of solar energy, which is much more than at present. By 2030, Japan intends to bring this figure to 53 million kilowatts. For this, in addition to industry, households will also be stimulated. Those who use solar energy will be given certain benefits.
Interestingly, the technologies that Japan will develop for other countries will differ from the smart grid technologies used within Japan itself.
In general, it remains to wait quite a bit, and, most likely, we will see how the Japanese really will use energy efficiently. I wonder what year this will happen in the CIS?
