Abstract
A task force was established at Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), Japan, in order to observe the general image of the electric power system growth of Japan in the middle of the twenty-first century. The main results of its investigation can be outlined in the following three points: regarding the future energy consumption, it was estimated that the demand growth will become gradually saturated within approximately 1.5 times of the present by the middle of the twenty-first century; the total installed generation capacity required for the supply at the time of saturation will amount to 300 GW; and according to the demand growth, the electric power system is required to be enlarged to 1.5-2.0 times that of existing systems by the adoption of the power system enhancement measures such as the power electronics technologies, including FACTS and advanced HVDC systems.
