Exploring Flexibility Solutions for Renewable Energy Expansion at JPI Seminar

JPI Seminar: Ensuring Flexibility in Renewable Energy Integration



The Japan Planning Institute (JPI) is set to host an insightful seminar titled "Ensuring Flexibility in Electrical Systems for Expanding the Adoption of Renewable Energy" on July 28, 2025. This event will feature Katsuoki Hori, Deputy Director of the Industrial Research Department at the Japan Policy Investment Bank, who will provide a detailed overview of how flexibility can be maintained as renewable energy sources expand.

Seminar Overview


The seminar aims to address the growing uncertainties in the power supply due to the increasing share of solar and wind energy. As these resources become more prevalent, it becomes imperative to incorporate a variety of technologies like battery storage, Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES), demand response (DR), and inertial power conditioners into the electrical grid. The session will delve into the array of solutions available to bolster flexibility, considering also Japan's industrial competitiveness.
