本分析では、北海道地域の275kVの基幹送電線を対象に、実潮流に基づく送電線運用のもとで、系統運用シミュレーションを行った。シナリオの前提条件としては、合理的と想定される既存の導入ポテンシャル推計結果に基づいて、系統に接続される風力発電の設備容量を1,950MW(2018年度450MWの4.3倍、発電電力量ベースでは7.8倍)、太陽光発電の設備容量を1,855MW(2018年度1,605MWの1.16倍、発電電力量ベースでは1.2倍)と想定した。それ以外の発電・送電設備は2018年度と同様とした。電力需要量や電力需要の時間及び地理的分布も2018年度時点のものとした。また、石炭火力・水力・原子力発電について、発電種別の調整力や稼働の有無といった電源運用の観点から3つのシナリオを設定し...

This study develops a projection model of future population distribution on the basis of Japan’s current depopulation trend and applies this model to scenario analyses that assume population compactification and dispersion. The model enables a description of population migration at two levels. First, municipal populations are projected using the...
