In various countries, developers are struggling to create "smart" power systems that will allow much more efficiently to spend energy without wasting it in vain. Of course, Japan could not get past such an idea, and such a large company as Toshiba created a whole separate institution to work on the project of an effective "smart" power system.
They have already written about such systems more than once - they make it possible to combine both communications and the power supply system itself as a whole. Different manufacturers offer different solutions to the problem - not so long ago on Habré there was news that one of the companies offered to embed special chips into home appliances in order to be able to remotely control such devices via the Internet.
Toshiba also proposes to include in the “smart” system such energy sources as solar energy and wind energy. Of course, to obtain energy from these sources, initial investments are necessary, but these investments justify themselves at the stage of operating the system. In addition to economic efficiency, alternative energy can reduce emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere.

The Japanese are going to use the latest developments, which will be applied in three main areas:
- the creation of efficient sources of solar and wind energy;
- the creation of reliable and capacious batteries that will be able to store stored energy for a long time;
- the use of the principle of "smart" power system in the automotive industry;
Already by 2020 the Japanese government is going to receive 28 million kilowatts of solar energy, which is significantly more than at present. By 2030, Japan is going to bring this figure to 53 million kilowatts. For this, besides industry, households will also be stimulated. Those who use solar energy will be given certain benefits.
Interestingly, the technologies that will be developed by Japan for other countries will differ from the technologies of "smart" power networks used within Japan itself.
In general, it remains to wait quite a bit, and, apparently, we will see how the Japanese really will use energy efficiently. I wonder what year this will happen in the CIS?
