Project short description

Based on the outcomes of the prior project (Next-Generation Power Network Stabilization Technology Development), the STREAM project aims to develop key technologies that are essential to achieve Japanese government’s 2030 target of 36-38% for renewables in grid mix and 2050 target of carbon neutrality. The key technologies include countermeasures for decreasing grid inertia due to the decreasing share of synchronous generators in the grid, and for short circuit capacity. 

STREAM project aims to develop next-generation inverters with a Grid Forming ability, which simulate inertial force for grid stability. Under STREAM project, these technologies will also be demonstrated at small-scale grids after the development phase.

The project is funded by Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (ANR) of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), and executed by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
