16 28 RitsumeikanSocialSciencesReview(Vol52.No.2) 風力 太陽光発電の配電網への系統連系, 双方向潮流対応の系統運用について 日本とドイツの比較分析 竹濱朝美 ⅰ 本稿は, 風力 太陽光発電システムを配電網に大量連系するための規則と系統運用について, 日本とドイツを比較した 特に, 配電網から送電網への逆潮流に焦点を当てて分析した ドイツでは, 系統運用者 ( 送電会社および配電会社 ) は, 風力 太陽光発電からの電力を, 出力状況に応じて柔軟に, 低圧および中圧系統から高圧系統へ, さらには, 特別高圧系統に逆潮流させる双方向潮流対応の系統運用を行っている ドイツの系統運用者は, 再生可能エネルギー電力を最優先で給電し, かつ, 上位電圧系統に優先送電する義務を負う 系統運用者は, 風力 太陽光発電からの給電が配電網内の需要を上回る場合, 上位電圧系統 ( 送電網 ) に, 物理的にも電力を上流送電し, 他の送電区域に地域間送電する これに対して日本では, 長期固定電源 ( 原子力, 大型水力, 地熱発電 ) の電力を500kV 送電系統から低圧系統に, 下方一方向潮流で配電する系統運用である 日本では, 原子力発電からの電力を他の全ての電源に優先して, 給電 配電する 地域間送電線の使用においても, 日本では, 原子力発電の電力を最優先で送電する規則となっている 日本では, 再生可能エネルギーからの電力を, 下位電圧系統から上位電圧系統へ優先的に上流送電 ( 逆潮流 ) させる規則は整備されてない 日本の再エネ特措法は, 一般電気事業者に電力網の系統容量の拡張を義務付けていないため, 系統容量の拡張が不十分なままで, 再生可能エネルギー電源の連系を制約している 再生可能エネルギー電源を大量に電力網に連系させるには, 一般電気事業者に対して, 再生可能エネルギー電力の上流送電と電力網の系統増強を義務付ける必要がある キーワード : 風力発電, 太陽光発電, 系統連系, 逆潮流, 上流送電, 双方向潮流対応, 垂直負荷, 優先送電, 系統増強 ⅰ 立命館大学産業社会学部教授
