Microgrids are a suitable, reliable and clean solution to integrate distributed generation into
the mains grid. Microgrids can present both AC and DC distribution lines. The type of …

Direct current (DC) power distribution has recently gained traction in buildings research due
to the proliferation of on-site electricity generation and battery storage, and an increasing …

Aiming at photovoltaic (PV)-storage urban building integrated system, this paper proposes a
DC microgrid with multi-layer control and smart grid communications. The paper focuses on …

An increasing number of energy-efficient appliances operate on direct current (DC)
internally, offering the potential to use DC directly from renewable energy systems, thereby …

Advances in semiconductor-based power electronics and growing direct current loads in
buildings have led researchers to reconsider whether buildings should be wired with DC …

The history of the centralized and distributed power system is introduced far away from the
power system being first built by Edison, which started the first confrontation between ac and …

Improvements in building end-use efficiency have significantly reduced the energy intensity
of new buildings, but diminishing returns make it a challenge to build very-low energy …

Despite the recent interest in direct current (DC) power distribution in buildings, the market
for DC-ready loads remains small. The existing DC loads in various products or research …

Owing to the increasing prevalence for DC home appliances and distributed energy
resources, the concept of a DC home microgrid is attracting considerable attention. This …

The renewable energy sources (RES) such as photovoltaic (PV) are basically DC power
sources. In the present scenario, the integration of RES to power distribution infrastructure …
