Chapter 1. Introduction: Today’s Our System
On the Earth, there is an inflow and outflow of energy, such as the intake of sunlight (ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light) and the emission of thermal radiation into space. On the other hand, very little matter enters or leaves the Earth. Although it is not a perfect isolated system because of the energy flow in and out, the Earth can be regarded as an isolated system as a rough approximation. Thermodynamics tells us that, in the equilibrium state of an isolated system, a homogeneous state with no structure that maximizes entropy is realized.
Chapter 2. Statistical Analysis
This chapter briefly explains the basics of statistics, regression analysis, and time series analysis.
Chapter 3. Fluctuation and Correlation of Renewable Energy
We are interested in multi-dimensional data for various practical purposes. However, it is often seen that the multi-dimensional data are hard to understand intuitively due to correlations between some of the dimensions of the data.
Chapter 4. Optimization and Dynamical System
Chapter 5. Grid Flexibility
Chapter 6. Grid Integration of Renewable Energy
Chapter 7. Evolving Microgrid Network and Power Market
Chapter 8. Foreign Direct Investment in Renewable Energy
Chapter 9. Hydrogen Energy Storage and Nuclear Energy
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has proposed the NZE 2050 scenario, which calls for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Achieving this will require major changes in the energy sector. Renewable energy sources such as solar PV and wind power, which have become increasingly popular in recent years, effectively reduce
emission. However, other sources must compensate for their output fluctuations.
Chapter 10. Blockchain Energy Trade System
In recent years, decentralized and open information systems based on blockchain technology have attracted much attention. Blockchain technology can effectively solve various global issues known as sustainable development goals, SDGs, and energy issues.
Chapter 11. V2G: Vehicle to Grid
Chapter 12. Conclusion: Prospects for the Future
