Power Transmission and Distribution Systems under Deregulation Schemes

摘要

Partial liberalization of power retailing was introduced in Japan on March 21, 2000 with retail wheeling schemes for eligible large-scale customers. In the near future, deregulation schemes will be expanded in the Japanese electricity supply industry and not only will new participants enter, but power utilities themselves will be promoting differentiation of services utilizing their individual strengths.In response to these circumstances, Toshiba has developed products and a prototype to evaluate wheeling schemes which take power system security into consideration, fulfill the required responsibility between the power supplier and eligible customers, and provide advantageous services to distribution customers.
