Research

 Applying the method for determining and modifying the charge/discharge

schedule of BESS and UC based on forecasts released every several hours to
Vietnamese power system, and compare the results between Japanese and
Vietnamese systems.
 The method is the same as that of the paper for ISGT Asia.
 We do not consider limited inverter capacity and BESS capacity.
 Modeling of power system in Vietnam (the following data are needed).
 Specification of power facilities (Number of generators of each fuel,
Nuclear power, Hydro power )
 Data on the load demand
 Data on actual solar irradiation
 Data on forecasted solar irradiation
 If time series data can be available…
 I will do in the same way as my previous study targeting Japan (Kanto
region)
 If time series data cannot be available…
 I would like to at least get two daily load curves; peak day and off peak day
 I will perform simulation evaluation for a peak day and off peak day using
models of Japan and Vietnam, considering solar irradiations parameters (I
will use the data of 365 days of Japan).
 Power facilities: Kanto model or Vietnam model
【Kanto model】
 I will use Kanto model which is already used.
【Vietnamese model】
 I would like to choose a certain region for modeling the power
system in Vietnam.
 I will determine the number of generators of each fuel and nuclear
power, Hydro power, based on the actual power facilities.
 I will employ the specifications of the thermal generators (rated
output, coefficient of the fuel cost, etc.) from existing ones for
Japanese systems.
 Peak and off peak day
 Kanto model : I will find the peak and off peak day from existing
data.
  Vietnamese model: I would like to ask you whether you have such
data.
 Data on actual solar irradiation and forecasted solar irradiation
 I will use the data of Kanto region both Kanto and Vietnam model
 The installed capacity of PV generation
 Both are considered as parameters. I do not assume amount but
proportion.
(e.g., 10%, 20%...etc. of the peak-load-demand)
 Evaluation method
 Because the scales of the power systems are different, I will
evaluate it in terms of the proportion. (Percentages of the energy
shortfall and energy curtailment to the total energy consumption,
etc.)
 I will evaluate the impact of the difference in power generation mix on the
effectiveness of the proposed method.
 I do not evaluate the difference in the load demands and solar
irradiations between two countries. (Maybe it would be future works).

2. Others
 I already noted the following two events in the application form. (It would be
greatly appreciated if you could arrange those.)
 Technical tour to utilities or some facilities: 2
 Workshop with other universities: 1
