Type of article: Article

Summary

In Japan, demand for electric power is growing significantly, centering around peak load in summer, along with rapid increases in air conditioning load. In order to solve this problem, government and industry have continued to take concerted steps. Heat pumps and thermal storage applications are the representative solutions. Japan's yearly load factor has continued to drop year after year. The article presents power load levelling measures, domestic shipments of room air conditioners and packaged air conditioners, ice and water thermal storage system cumulative installation, and natural gas fired air conditioning capacity, which is 6.6 million RT. LPG applications are not covered.
