DC MICROGRIDS

DC Microgrids are being deployed globally as distributed energy, solar PV, energy storage, consumer electronics, and LED lights are inherently DC resources. As these devices make up a large share of generation and demand, it is only natural to string them together on DC Microgrids.  There are enormous opportunities for efficiency and system cost gains, as shown by research institutions, industrial facilities, and even DC homes.

DC Microgrids DC Home Solar solutions are the primary means of rural electrification for the billion people who do not yet have grid electricity.  Efficient DC appliances are enabling small home solar systems and DC microgrids to handle more tasks, effectively leapfrogging the utility grid.

IEEE and several universities are addressing the issue of standards, as building codes and standards are currently written for AC distribution.
