業務用建物における分散型エネルギーに関する評価研究 : その2 種類別業務用建物における最適化結果(建築学科)

Abstract

The previou paper described preliminary analysis on CHP investment climate in the U.S. and Japan. DER technologies, energy prices, and incentive measures were investigated. This paper intends to explore methods of choosing economically optimal DER, expanding on prior studies at the Berkeley Lab using the DER design optimization program, the Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM). DER-CAM finds the optimal combination of installed equipment given prevailing utility tariffs and fuel prices, site electrical and thermal loads (including absorption cooling), and a menu of available equipment. It provides a global optimization, albeit idealized, that shows how site useful energy loads can be served at minimum cost. Five prototype Japanese commercial buildings are examined and DER-CAM is applied to select the economically optimal DER system for each. Based on the optimization results, energy and emission reductions are evaluated. Significant decreases in fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and energy costs were seen in the DER-CAM results. Savings were most noticeable in the prototype sports facility, followed by the hospital, hotel, and office building. Results show that DER with combined heat and power equipment is a promising efficiency and carbon mitigation strategy, but that precise system design is necessary.
