  • Household DC Networks: State of the Art and Future Prospects
    Rapid Response Energy Brief September 2015 7 Household DC networks: State of the art and future prospects Lead authors: Abhishek Shivakumar (KTH), Bo Normark (KIC InnoEnergy) Authoring team: Manuel Welsch (KTH) Reviewers: Marko Bišćan and Andro Bačan (EIHP) Legal Notice: Responsibility for the information and views set out in this paper lies entirely with the authors. Executive summary This study investigates the potential benefits and feasibility of household DC networks. Unlike the case of AC systems, a well-established set of standards for household DC networks is currently lacking. However, several 1 recommended standards and configurations have been discussed in previous studies. This work reviews some of the most promising suggestions and further analyses those that are most suitable to be implemented. In addition, a comparative study is carried out between a hybrid AC-DC system and a proposed DC configuration, for different selected geographical conditions in the EU. Specifically, the comparative study focuses on energy savings from avoiding conversion losses, and economic payback. The choice of transitioning to DC networks in households is found to dependent on the evolution of electricity consumption of household devices, residential solar PV penetration, and the cost of DC power converters. It is most likely that DC household networks will be taken up in parallel to the current AC system; a hybrid configuration with installations of parallel networks of AC and LVDC distribution systems is a possible “transition solution”. Some recent developments in favour of a transition of DC networks include the launch of USB 3.1 (capable of power delivery of up to 100 W), dramatic fall in costs of solar PV since 2008, and growing support at the EU-level for residential electricity storage through batteries.

Dawange2, Swati N. Yelmame3, Prof. S. M Turakane4 1, 2, 3BE. Student, 4Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, PREC, Loni, SPPU, Pune Abstract: Today's alternating current power grid evolved after 1896, based in part on Nikola Tesla's design published in 1888 (see War of Currents). At that time, the grid was conceived as a centralized unidirectional system of electric power transmission, electricity distribution, and demand-driven control. In the 20th century power grids originated as local grids that grew over time, and were eventually interconnected for economic and reliability reasons. By the 1960s, the electric grids of developed countries had become very large, mature and highly interconnected, with thousands of 'central' generation power stations delivering power to major load centres via high capacity power lines which were then branched and divided to provide power to smaller industrial and domestic users over the entire supply area. The topology of the 1960s grid was a result of the strong economies of scale of the current generation technology: large coal-, gas- and oil-fired power stations in the 1 GW (1000 MW) to 3 GW scale are still found to be cost-effective, due to efficiency-boosting features that can be cost effectively added only when the stations become very large.
