After the earthquake of March 11, 2011 in Japan, there have been many arguments on what is the most ideal next generation energy system. Compared to the conventional energy sources, the role of unstable renewable energy (RE), such as photovoltaic and wind, will be more important. To stabilize these REs, it is essential to take advantage of energy storage (ES). Moreover, energy management systems (EMSs) that control a variety of facilities and areas will be required. We have been developing demand response (DR) management technology as a core technology of EMSs because DR can contribute to stabilizing REs. In particular, we are focusing on control of stationary batteries as well as electric vehicles due to their larger energy capacity and potential for wide-spread use.
