Hybrid Event | ECPE Workshop: Low Voltage DC Grids for Industry and Office

Technological advances in power electronics mean that in the future DC networks will be of increasing importance for the exchange of electrical energy. The reasons lie primarily in the penetration of electronics in all areas of application. Today, rectification of the mains voltage takes place in almost all devices. The DC voltage generated is then used directly (switched-mode power supplies, storage charging) or converted back into AC voltage (for example in frequency converters). Likewise, the cost of DC-DC converters has been steadily decreasing. In addition, today energy is increasingly generated in the form of DC voltage, e.g. by photovoltaics or fuel cells.
The basic advantages of DC Grids compared to AC:
- Energy exchange is bidirectional enabling direct use of recuperation.
- Material savings (less copper line to the elimination of reactive power as well as higher voltage in DC). Transmission losses and installation effort can be reduced.
- Electronics become smaller and more efficient (no internal grid rectifier.
- Renewable energies and storage systems can feed in their energy directly
- Storage within the DC installation provides ride-through capacity for power outages

This workshop covers low voltage DC networks in the areas of industrial plants and office buildings. In detail, the following contents will be covered in depth:
- DC use cases from manufacturing industry, the automotive industry and office
- DC system: network structures, voltage ranges and measurement results
- DC devices: requirements, design aspects, protection
- DC in standardization: Status of standardization, activities and roadmap
- DC in research: focus areas, current projects
