DC grid Promise or Trouble? Cost reduction and Efficiency Troubles Fast charging a Battery Picture courtesy of TU Delft, DCE&S 2
HVDC, MVDC and LVDC HVDC Accepted technology MVDC Not decided yet LVDC Development stage Picture courtesy of TU Delft, DCE&S 3
What is DC? What is DC HVDC 500kV MVDC 10kV LVDC 300-1000 volt usb 3.1, up to 100 Watt 5 volt, 2 Ampere 12 volt, 5 Ampere 20 volt, 5 Ampere 4
Conventional 230V 50Hz Many Transformers Rectifiers Converters 5
Coupling via AC grid is inefficient! Use the PFC to connect multiple DC grids to a single AC grid Picture courtesy of Simulation Research 6
Replacing the Adapters Chargers Mobile devices Telephones Consumer electronics Toys USB 3 The question is not IF, but WHEN Picture courtesy of Direct Current BV 7
Promise or Trouble Saving Energy nearly Reduce amount of copper Yes Infrastructure Example street lighting Picture courtesy of Direct Current BV 8
Cost reduction and efficiency Cost reduction (less copper) skin depth 50Hz = 9.3mm Increased Efficiency Less complex power electronics AC 50Hz : skin depth ~ 9.3mm 9

But is everything that simple? Is DC the real solution? Stability Safety at turn off Reliability/lifetime semiconductors Local storage Vehicle2Grid Picture courtesy of Direct Current BV 11
Solution? 12
Efficiency is the problem! 5% losses 100 Watt 5 Watt losses Try to vaporize it in your wall-socket!!!! Convection & Radiation 13
Central DC converter Central DC-DC converter Extra low voltage DC cable 20 volt? No, current to high, losses 50-70 volt? Yes, less losses Reduction of loss in the wall-socket 14
AC - DC conversion? Controlled Rectifier Many Harmonics No power delivery into the grid 15
Active Front End Power delivery into the grid Reduction of harmonics 16
Power Electronics DC-DC converters Analog control 17
Power Electronics DC-DC converters Digital control 18
Conclusion Current situation AC 230 Volt 50Hz Near Future situation DC +/- 350 Volt Fixed connections, no wall plugs Extra low voltage cable DCDC converters for USB3 19
