System-wise optimization with smart infrastructure

• Incentivize energy-efficient products/facilities with networking function

• Promote demand-side energy management

Citizen empowerment for smart life-style

• Feedback timely information on eco-footprint of individual behaviour

• Promote energy-management servicer / smart devices

Promote social consensus building and data-driven innovation

• Consensus building for privacy and competition policy on large-scale data

• Facilitate secured link and use of data in the smart network

Yokohama City Energy management system which integrates HEMS, BEMS, EV PV（27000 kW）Use of heat and unused energy 4000 Smart houses, 2000 EVs

Toyota City Use of heat and unused energy as well as electricity Demand response with more than 70 home 3100EV, V to H, to G

Kitakyushu-City Real-time management in 70 companies and 200 houses Energy management by HEMS, BEMS Energy system which integrates demand-side management and high energy system.

Kyoto Keihanna District ‘Smart tap’ which visualizes energy consumption control home electronics energy usage. ‘Electric power virtual coloring’ technology actualizes total home energy management system.

4 cities in Japan were chosen to run large scale and

cutting-edge pilot projects on smart community.

Community energy management system(CEMS) will be

realized based on combining HEMS, BEMS, EVs, PVs

and Batteries.
